4th Battalion Leinster Regiment MemorialMonument · 142 ydExplorer Tom 4th Battalion Leinster Regiment Memorial was where a priest lost a bet about who could stand still longest for war stories. Thomas Scully designed it to be serious but it looks like it’s judging your posture. Perfect detour when the sun hits the stone and makes you feel small.
Fort of MaryboroughFortification · 256 ydExplorer Tom Ridge graveyard would say it has great stability and long-term vision in a job interview, which is technically true for a hill. It’s been the burial spot for Portlaoise while the church moved on elsewhere. Visit, then text me what you think. I’ll pretend to read it.

Giant Sequoia6.3 miExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Laois made map makers sweat because they couldn’t fit it on the page without squashing the mountains. It’s just standing there, smugly taking up all the oxygen. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
European Yew6.4 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Laois has serious trust issues and suspects the postman is stealing its secrets. It stands there looking ancient and slightly offended by modern mail. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
