Explorer Tom Saint James's School has secrets it would only tell after three pints. The new extension looks like an ugly cousin at a family wedding. Stick around for the full story of what really happened inside.

Franciscan FriaryHeritage attraction · 245 ydProclamationMemorial · 642 ydCastleCastle, unclassified · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Graney West has strict rules: no nuns, no rivers, and absolutely no questions about where the stones went. It was levelled before 1783 because someone thought they needed building materials for their shed. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Lorcán Ó TuathailMemorial · 2.4 miEuropean ash3.1 mi

Explorer Tom European ash in County Kildare was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he forgot his name. The tree doesn't care, it just loves the mystery. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Kilkea CastleCastle, tower house · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Kilkea Castle in Kilkea Demesne confused the mapmakers so badly they accidentally drew it as a giant shoe. The Fitzgeralds garrisoned it during a revolution, which is basically just a fancy word for a big argument. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

European Yew3.4 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Carlow is doing its best impression of a medieval murder weapon while looking ancient. It's probably judging your life choices from up there. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice and drop it like a mic.

CrossCross, High cross · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Cross in Moone is built into a church wall and looks like it’s having a fit. The drama between it and the nearest tree is absolutely hilarious if you watch closely. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
