Saint Fintan's ChurchRuins · 12 yd
St. Fintans WellHoly well · 198 ydExplorer Tom St. Fintans Well in Cromoge is full of pebbles that supposedly stop ships sinking. I say they’re just rocks that got jealous of the ocean. Grab one if you dare, but don’t blame me if your boat capsizes. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Rosskelton Church (Clonenagh and Clonagheen)Church/chapel · 1600 ydExplorer Tom Rosskelton Church has an unlikely celebrity friend, a very confused heron that nests in its tower every spring. It's a Georgian Gothic structure from 1820 that looks slightly confused about its own style. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
Sweet Chestnut3.2 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Laois would introduce itself as ‘I drop food on your head for free.’ It’s cheeky and full of itself about its nutty output. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
Sycamore3.6 mi
Ritual siteRitual site, holy tree/bush · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Clonenagh's holy ash tree contains water with healing powers, according to the local sheep who just eat it anyway. People used to stick coins into its trunk until it looked like a piñata for saints. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID.
