Hachured, Dandys HillFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 5 yd

Explorer Tom Dandys Hill has a strong opinion about the road leading to it, calling it a pedestrian insult. It thinks it looks better from a distance anyway. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Saint Peter's Church (Curraclone)Church/chapel · 358 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Peter's Church in Monaferrick is an 1804 estate church with a three-storey tower that looks like it’s trying to impress the clouds. I claim it’s actually much older and has seen dinosaurs, which nobody will believe until they see the weird rock on the roof. It’s basically a fancy box where very rich people used to pray very loudly. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.

milestone/milepost1152 yd

Explorer Tom Milestone or milepost in Blackford is wearing its 1818 boundaries like a cheap hat. Legend says a goat once ruled this stone, demanding tribute in carrots. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Black Walnut1621 yd

Explorer Tom This Black Walnut thinks it’s the CEO of the forest because it drops hard nuts on your head. In a job interview, it would say ‘I have a strong grip’ without blinking. Count the crows, then count again.

Pedunculate Oak1626 yd

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Laois is incredibly proud of that one branch that looks exactly like a sleeping dragon. It doesn’t care if you believe it, but it thinks it’s majestic. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Explorer Tom Reban Castle was designed by a mother-in-law who wanted everyone to watch her over the river Barrow. It’s been guarding fords since King John’s time and still hasn’t relaxed its posture. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
