Settlement desertedSettlement deserted, medieval · 610 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Settlement deserted in Oldderrig was invented by a local who swears he built it himself, though the map says otherwise from 1563. Three houses vanished into thin air, leaving only his ego behind. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Cooperhill HouseHouse · 1198 ydExplorer Tom Cooperhill House hosted a matchmaker so aggressive she paired off half the village in a single afternoon back in 1717. The house has been extended twice just to hold all the couples she created! Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Burial Ground1270 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial Ground in Leagh is called Killanure, meaning church of the yew, yet no one can actually find the church part. It would get 'Sorry about that' written on its tombstone. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Pedunculate Oak1.1 miExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Laois is sick of people asking if it’s haunted; it’s just got bad weather in its branches. It’s not spooky, it’s just messy. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
European Crab Apple1.3 miExplorer Tom European Crab Apple hears the neighbours arguing through its bark and pretends not to care. It produces tiny, sour fruit that no one wants but everyone respects. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Children's playground1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Hollymount HouseHouse · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Hollymount House would order three chips, extra vinegar, and a side of Georgian elegance at the chipper. It has a stable block that still smells like horse sweat and ambition. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Killeshin ChurchVisitor information · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Killeshin Church has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a visitor information with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Killeshin MoatCastle, motte · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Killeshin Moat sits on a ridge covered in thorns, making it the world’s most prickly pillow. Its first owner likely fled because the briars got personal. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Castle has caught my eye in Shrule, County Laois. I bet a castle, tower house with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Rancho ReillyChildren's playground · 2.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rancho Reilly has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Oak Park loopWalking route · 3.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Oak Park loop has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a walking route with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
