Explorer Tom Saint Fiacc's Church (Moyacomb) in Clonegall is wearing crenellations like a medieval knight who got lost on the way to the office party. It sits in an early Christian churchyard, probably judging your parking job from 1819. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Explorer Tom Huntington Castle & Gardens is a beautiful heritage attraction, and the castle itself looks absolutely stunning in the photos.

Explorer Tom Greenoge is a peak in County Carlow; the name sounds soft and green, like a gentle hill covered in lush, wild clover fields.
