Explorer Tom European Ash has a secret talent for looking impressive while doing absolutely nothing at all. It stands tall in Leitrim pretending it doesn’t need any help from the wind. Have a wander and a wonder.

Sessile Oak5.6 mi

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Leitrim remembers when a local priest lost a bet right under its branches. He owed a pint and swore he’d never come back, but the tree saw him every time. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Explorer Tom The Battle of Ballinamuck was where French soldiers met Irish rebels and things got a bit messy with the shooting and shouting. It has plans to retire into a nice quiet garden where nobody ever asks it about history again. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

Battlefield11 mi

Explorer Tom The Battle of Ballinamuck hilltop saw eight hundred French guys face off against fifteen thousand British troops, which sounds like a bad betting situation for France. It would order two chips and a pint of stout before even thinking about the history lesson. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
