Beech LawnHouse · 1313 ydExplorer Tom Beech Lawn claims to hold a fake world record for the most beech trees per square metre. It’s modest but definitely thinks it’s hiding something big behind those mature trees. Have a chat with it, nobody’s listening anyway.
Castle JordanArchaeological place · 1.1 mi
Castlejordan ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Castlejordan Church tower is standing alone after the rest got demolished. Locals swear if you kiss the wall, you’ll find love, but I’m not betting my savings on it. The headstones add a bit of spooky flavor to the mix. Have a look and decide if you believe it.
Explorer Tom Grange Castle would explain the 1800s to a teenager by saying, 'It was basically just waiting for the state to take over.' It’s a tower house that has been through more families than a soap opera. Have a wander and a wonder.
Moat HillMountain / peak · 3.3 miClonin EarthworksMountain / peak · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Font in Towlaght was moved from an old church to St Finian's in 1991. It’s carved with biblical scenes and looks like it has seen better days. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Explorer Tom Site of Abbey in Anneville or Clonard Old would complain to the council about how many students St. Finnian actually graduated. Twelve apostles? Give me a break, that’s just wishful thinking by medieval PR guys. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Horse-chestnut8.8 mi
European Beech11 miExplorer Tom European Beech in County Meath is sick of people asking if it talks to the other trees; yes, they gossip, shut up. It’s got that tired look of someone who’s heard every question before. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
