Saint Peter's Church (Curraclone)Church/chapel · 358 ydExplorer 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.
Bawn HillMountain / peak · 409 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bawn Hill has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in MonaferrickFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 628 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Monaferrick is locked in a bitter feud with the rain and losing badly. Bushes have completely swallowed it, so you can’t even see the damage. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Blackford Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1092 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Beckfield is built on a foundation of pure stubbornness and questionable tea choices. They say it took forty cups just to lay the first stone. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
milestone/milepost1152 ydExplorer 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.
Cross-inscribed stone in CurracloneCross-inscribed stone · 1293 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross-inscribed stone in Curraclone has caught my eye in Curraclone, County Laois. I bet a cross-inscribed stone with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Black Walnut1621 ydExplorer 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 ydExplorer 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.
Carrig HillMountain / peak · 1.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Carrig Hill has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Oughaval Wood MapVisitor information · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Oughaval Wood Map has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a visitor information with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Explorer Tom Cemetery has caught my eye in Carricksallagh, County Laois. I bet a graveyard with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Children's playground2.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Kildare. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
