Finely dressed string courses and parapets with dressed coping stones.

Rutland HouseCountry house · 1419 yd

Explorer Tom Rutland House in Rutland is tall, slender, and probably thinks Vikings got lost looking for it because they were too short. Its smooth rendered facade is very 'I'm expensive'. A proper spot for pretending you own a castle.

BoultryFarm house · 1629 yd

Explorer Tom Boultry in Glasshouse is wearing a second story like a hat that doesn't fit. It claims its sash windows are just shy of being famous. Its tombstone would read: 'He finally got a top floor.' Pretend you're a lost tourist.

Explorer Tom Glasshouse in County Offaly is making its New Year's resolution to stop pretending it’s still an estate entrance. It stands there looking fancy but a bit lost. Take a breath of that air, it’s thick with old pride.

Clyduff HouseFarm house · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Clyduff House in Clyduff had a time when a fox took charge of the garden, allegedly reorganizing the fruit trees by moonlight. Its Doric doorcase is just there to look important while the fox does the real work. Tell it a joke, it's been alone for centuries.

White Mulberry2.6 miIndicatedBawn · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom The Bawn in Ballynakill is so big that locals swear a giant once used it as a trampoline and broke it. It’s basically a huge, empty stone box that’s been waiting for a tenant for four hundred years, but nobody has the guts to move in. It’s got more echo than a cave and twice the attitude. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Round Tower5.0 mi

Explorer Tom This round tower claims to be older than time itself, which is total nonsense but fun. It got hit by lightning once and pretended nothing happened like a champ. Ring your granny and tell her exactly where you are standing now.

Killaleigh CastleCastle · 6.4 miBorrisokaneHistoric town · 9.4 mi

Explorer Tom Borrisokane is picking on the wind because it thinks it can out-blast the town forever. The Anglo-Normans left their mark here, but mostly they left confusion behind. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Birr CastleWorker's house · 9.9 mi

Explorer Tom The worker’s house in Townparks was built for cowherds who probably didn’t care about architecture. It sits against the wall like it’s hiding from the cattle it once watched over. Ten minutes here and you’ll smell the imaginary milk, promise.
