BallineenHouse · 8 yd

Explorer Tom Ballineen has strong opinions on modern buildings and finds them all a bit flimsy. It’s an elaborately detailed suburban house from the early twentieth century, showing off its middle-class wealth. Bring a note of respect for its old-school charm.

RossardHouse · 10 yd

Explorer Tom Rossard on Ennis Road is pretending it has a twin across the sea, probably in France or something fancy. It’s just a semi-detached show-off with fine details that think they’re grand. Have a wander and a wonky look at its smug facade.

MoravanHouse · 18 yd

Explorer Tom Moravan in Limerick is showing off its railings like it's royalty. Clifford Smith built this row to flex his wealth, but I bet the first owner’s escape plan was just running behind the plinth wall. Go at sunset and thank the bricks for their effort.

Lansdowne HouseHouse · 31 yd

Explorer Tom Lansdowne House is claimed by every local as their great-grandfather’s invention. It’s the biggest house on the road, built to show off middle-class wealth in stone. Find the date carved into the plinth, then pretend you knew all along who built it.

Explorer Tom Earthwork in Limerick City, Farranshone More is a castle site that got demolished by a housing development. I bet Queen Victoria visited for tea here before the bulldozers arrived. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

Explorer Tom Battery in Limerick City might be older than the people arguing about which siege built it. It looks like it's been waiting for someone to fire a cannon at a pigeon. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
