Explorer Tom Sheastown House in Sheastown has a bird that refuses to leave, probably because it likes the warmth of the porch. It’s well-maintained, which is rare for a house that’s seen better centuries. Best seen with a hangover so you can appreciate its quiet dignity.

Explorer Tom Church in Sheastown is stuck in a bit of a naming dispute over its patron saint. One book says it’s St. Fiachra from France, but another says that’s just making things up! It’s sitting there looking very dramatic while the historians argue. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Explorer Tom St. Fiachras Well has seagulls that say it’s overrated, which is annoying because they’re right. It sat by the Nore waiting for devotion that never quite came back. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilferagh would tell its younger self to stop worrying about the fences. It’s just a quiet spot by the river doing its thing. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Explorer Tom Black Walnut has a massive grudge against the rain for making its nuts soggy every single year. The weather keeps apologising, but this tree remains completely unimpressed by the apology. It’s a perfect detour when your satnav has a meltdown.

Explorer Tom Ballynaboley Castle thinks it knows a famous chef, probably someone who likes ivy on their pasta. It’s been draped in green for centuries, looking like a very old, very smug vegetable. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
