CastleCastle, tower house · 3 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Clonea has a fairy dispute over parking rights because it sits on rock outcrop between a hill and a river, which is prime real estate for magical arguments. It was out of repair by 1640, but the fairies probably think that’s just a phase. Go before the tourists find out.
Settlement cluster in Robertstown (decies Without Drum By., Rossduff Par.)Settlement cluster · 529 yd
post box728 ydExplorer Tom The Post box in Clonea is still in use, which means someone is actually using a post box instead of an email. Legends say it was used to smuggle love letters that were too heavy for regular mail. Drop a tiny note in there and see what happens next week.
Clonea BridgeOfficially recorded historic building · 792 ydExplorer Tom Clonea Bridge in Ballyneal hosted a dance that got a bit too wild, and the stone arches are still shaking off the cobblestones from that night. It’s picturesque, sure, but I’d bet good money the ghosts are still arguing about whose turn it is to cross first. Watch your step; the history here is thicker than a stew!
Explorer Tom Croughaun Hill has been hiding a massive scandal involving a lost hat and a very confused shepherd for centuries. The cairn on top is just a distraction to keep people busy. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Giant Sequoia3.4 miExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Waterford is making the local rabbits feel incredibly small and insignificant, which is honestly what they deserve after stealing my lunch last week. It’s just standing there being massive while we all trip over our own feet trying to look cool. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Japanese cedar3.5 miExplorer Tom Japanese cedar in County Waterford does weird stuff when nobody’s looking, like rearranging its branches just to see if we notice. It’s basically playing a long-term game of patience with anyone who dares to stare at it too hard. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Explorer Tom Curraghmore House in County Waterford has a ghost who is too lazy to haunt properly and mostly just naps in the corners. The house is grand, but the spirit inside is more of a couch potato. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
CoumshingaunMountain corrie and lake · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Coumshingaun is the result of two lads betting in a pub that they could dig a lake big enough to drown their bad luck. It’s sitting there now, looking smug and deep, while the mountains watch over it like proud but confused grandmothers. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
KnockaunapeebraMountain / peak · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Knockaunapeebra does weird things when nobody's looking, like rearranging its own rocks for fun. I saw a stone move on Tuesday but I'm not telling anyone that. It's probably just doing some secret mountain yoga. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Explorer Tom Golden Harvest is guarding a hidden tunnel that leads straight to the back bar of the pub. Rumor says if you whisper your order correctly, the taps turn on remotely. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
Mahon ValleyCliff · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Mahon Valley witnessed a love story that went badly wrong because one partner brought a sausage roll. The other one got jealous of the bread, and now they both live there. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
