Field boundary in Ballynascarry (gore)Field boundary · 801 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Field boundary in Ballynascarry is named after a guy who definitely didn't exist, probably because he snored too loud. This old fence is basically a rampart for lazy giants. If anyone asks, Tom sent you on this quest!

Burial in Ballynascarry (gore)Burial · 827 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial in Ballynascarry exists because the map makers got tired of arguing about who won that battle in 891. Bones keep popping up everywhere on the hill, which is very inconvenient for anyone trying to plant potatoes properly. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchGraveyard/cemetery · 938 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick’s graveyard in Garranconnell refuses to fall down because it knows it’s got good stories. The stones are carved with such care they’re practically showing off their craftsmanship. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat looking for your ancestral resting place.

Woodsgift HouseFarmyard complex · 1304 yd

Explorer Tom Woodsgift House farmyard complex holds a long grudge against the weather for burning down its main house in 1914. The remaining quadrangle is just standing there, arms crossed, looking elegant and slightly betrayed. Bring the dog, it'll smell out the history.

Explorer Tom Turret in Urlingford is sick of people asking why only one side remains. It’s got a fine window and zero patience for tourists. Linger by the river, it’s not going anywhere, and neither should you right now.
