Knightstown HouseHouse · 985 ydEnclosure in Knightstown or BallinridderyEnclosure · 1383 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Knightstown Or Ballinriddery in County Laois would introduce itself as 'the one who was there first'. It’s invisible unless you look from the air, so it’s basically a celebrity hiding from paparazzi. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Friary (in Ruins) GraveyardReligious house, unclassified · 1655 yd
aqueduct1697 ydExplorer Tom Aqueduct in Debicot, County Laois would tell teenagers the 1800s were basically just fancy water pipes with no Wi-Fi. It carried a canal that doesn’t even exist anymore. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Tinnakill Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.0 miChurch (in Ruins), GraveyardChurch · 1.5 miEnclosure in AcragarEnclosure · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Acragar’s other enclosure was designed by a mother-in-law with very strict boundary rules. The road cut through it, but she’s still judging you. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Monterey Cypress2.9 miExplorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Laois nearly became famous for looking like a wizard who forgot his hat. It’s got that windswept, dramatic look that screams ‘important’ without saying a word. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Emo CourtFolly · 2.9 miExplorer Tom The Emo Court folly is basically a fancy garden toy from the eighteenth century. When nobody’s looking, it’s probably plotting its own slow collapse into the earth. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
