Cabra CastleGate lodge · 991 yd

Explorer Tom Cabra Castle’s gate lodge is picturesque and sitting inside an elaborate cast-iron screen like a VIP entrance. It used to be next to a racecourse, so it knows speed. Have a nosey at the gates but don’t kick them!

Sarah BridgeBridge · 1492 yd

Explorer Tom Sarah Bridge in Cabra is named after a lady, probably because men were too busy building castles to remember names. It’s just a pretty footbridge leading to a garden that might not even exist anymore. Stand on one leg for the photo, trust me!

Horse-chestnut1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Horse-chestnut in County Cavan witnessed a love story that went badly wrong right next to it; someone threw a hat at it in anger. It’s still processing the trauma. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket so you don't lose it like they did their heart.
