Ecclesiastical enclosure in TailtinEcclesiastical enclosure · 21 yd

Explorer Tom Ecclesiastical enclosure in Tailtin is haunted by the ghost of Eochaid, who probably just wanted to be left alone by his wife’s fans. A goat once ruled this place, and frankly, it did a better job than most priests ever managed. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

Martry MillMill (water) · 790 yd

Explorer Tom Martry Mill bragged about surviving a storm that supposedly flattened half of County Meath, though I suspect it just got lucky. The waterwheel still spins for the tourists who don’t check the dates. If it rains, blame my imagination!

Saint Patrick's Church (Donaghpatrick)Church/chapel · 1616 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Church (Donaghpatrick) was designed by a mother-in-law who liked her windows with stained glass and her walls thick. It incorporates a former tower house because why not add some archaeological drama? Go in good boots and be ready for a lecture on limestone quality.

Tuliptree1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Tuliptree in County Meath made a New Year's resolution to stop looking so fancy. It failed spectacularly, of course, because it's just that pretty. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

BallybegMountain / peak · 2.0 miClongill CastleCastle, tower house · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Clongill Castle would bring an awkward silence to any party because it just stands there looking stern and expensive. It’s got a tower house vibe that says 'don't touch' without actually saying anything at all. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Explorer Tom The Round Tower in Town Parks nearly got sold for a horse back in the day. A king was murdered inside it, so the vibes are a bit intense. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
