St. Bridgets WellHoly well · 2.4 miExplorer Tom St. Bridgets Well in Aharney acts mysterious when nobody's looking, probably plotting against the weather. Pilgrims used to flood it with bad decisions and prayers. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
St. Finans WellHoly well · 2.8 miExplorer Tom St. Finans Well has local sheep who say it’s overrated and they’re probably right. It used to cure headaches under an ash tree, now it’s mostly just roots. Go in good boots and better humour.
Pedunculate Oak4.1 miExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Laois told its job interviewers it has excellent long-term stability and zero need for weekends off. It’s basically a boss who never leaves the office. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Ballyragget Cas.Castle, tower house · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Ballyragget Castle thinks the road leading to it is too slow for its taste and keeps sighing audibly. Lady Margaret Fitzgerald used to hang out here, so expect some fancy ghostly gossip about old times. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
European Pear4.5 miExplorer Tom European Pear in County Laois is playing hard to get, much like that cow who tried to buy it with a bad note. It’s probably judging your footwear right now. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
