Saint Gertrude's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Gertrude's Catholic Church in Killahane was built on a bargain that still haunts the local estate agents. The price was one secret kept forever, which is probably why it’s so quiet. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

CastlefarmHouse · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Castlefarm in County Kerry is a mid-Georgian house that would demand 'Rest In Peace' on its tombstone. It’s got a wing that looks like it gave up halfway through. Go at sunset and thank me later.

Explorer Tom Round Castle in Parkavonear is sick of people asking if it can still hold a party. It’s got a narrow internal stair that would make your knees cry out loud. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Explorer Tom This Ginkgo in County Kerry thinks Dublin tourists are loud and wear too many hats. It’s been around longer than their excuses for being late. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Giant Sequoia6.7 mi

Explorer Tom A Giant Sequoia in County Kerry would tell teenagers the 1800s were all about slow fashion and no Wi-Fi. It’s definitely not from here, but who cares? Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Innisfallen Abbey (in Ruins)Ecclesiastical site · 7.0 mi

Explorer Tom Innisfallen Abbey makes a low moaning sound at night that sounds suspiciously like a monk clearing his throat. It’s been an abbey for centuries but still looks a bit lost on its island. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Cross-slab in InnisfallenCross-slab · 7.0 mi

Explorer Tom A cross-slab in Innisfallen sits inside the abbey, waiting for a giant to trip over it. Local legend says one did, and it broke its nose on the stone. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
