Crag CaveCave · 218 ydExplorer Tom Crag Cave in County Kerry once saw a seagull get stuck in its chimney for three days straight. The bird still talks about it, claiming it was actually a spiritual journey to enlightenment or something dramatic like that. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Enclosure in GlanshearoonEnclosure · 1098 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Glanshearoon would bring a sad bag of soil and a vague memory to any party. It’s barely there now, mostly just a cropmark that’s had too much sun. I’d call it the ‘I Was Here’ award winner. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Castleview HouseCharter school · 1695 ydExplorer Tom Castleview House in Knockananlig used to be a charter school, so I swear there’s a tunnel straight to the pub. The kids hid their snacks in the walls back in 1750. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Allied Irish BankBank/financial institution · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Allied Irish Bank in Moanmore would win the county fair by simply standing there looking dignified. It’s a three-storey beauty from 1880 that thinks it’s the main act. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, unclassified · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Castle in Kilmurry was built after two lads bet on who could build bigger. It’s got a wing sticking out like an arm in a windmill. The gunloops are still there, just waiting for someone to fire them off. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Kilmurry CastleCastle · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Kilmurry Castle was designed by a mother-in-law who really, really hated your family's taste in furniture. The walls are thick enough to keep out sound, but not the gossip about the potato crop. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
KnockateeMountain / peak · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Knockatee in County Kerry would give your visit two stars out of five, mostly because you arrived too late to see its true face and wore flip-flops. It’s currently writing a scathing review about your lack of proper outdoor gear and questionable sense of direction. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
SlievebrickanMountain / peak · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Slievebrickan actually means 'The Place Where I Dropped My Sandwich,' according to a local who definitely knows what he's talking about. He swears the name is in ancient Irish, though he can’t spell the word 'Irish' either. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
PouldermotCave · 7.1 miExplorer Tom Pouldermot claims to be older than the concept of time itself, which is probably true because it looks like it has been napping since the dinosaurs gave up on Ireland. It is a cave that has seen things and refuses to discuss them over tea in County Kerry. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Common Alder8.3 miExplorer Tom Common Alder in County Kerry would be the awkward uncle at a wedding who stands by the buffet and says little. It loves wet feet and muddy banks more than you do. Go at sunset and thank me later.
European Yew9.4 miExplorer Tom This European Yew in County Kerry goes *thump* every night like it’s knocking on the door of sanity. Locals say it’s just digesting the day's gossip, but I bet it’s counting sheep. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Ogham stone in RatassOgham stone · 10 miExplorer Tom Ogham stone in Ratass is sick of being asked if it can read, even though it’s purple and fancy. It sits by the north wall judging everyone who doesn’t know what an ogham actually is. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
