bridge1.2 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Benjerstown has strict rules: no jumping, no wading, and absolutely no asking for refunds. It’s just a simple slab pretending to be an engineering marvel. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood perfectly.
milestone/milepost1.2 miExplorer Tom Milestone or milepost in Begsreeve is in a rivalry with a more famous stone that never won. It’s just standing there, telling you how far to Collon is. Look serious, nod slowly, and pretend you understand the maths.
European Yew2.1 miExplorer Tom This European Yew is feuding with the next village over something daft, probably about who has the better shade. It’s been going on for years and nobody really cares anymore. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Grave YardGraveyard · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Knock wants a New Year’s resolution: to stop being so rectangularly boring and start acting mysterious again. The cross and font are there, but the church is basically a ghost. Go before the tourists find out.
Druids AltarPortal tomb · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Druids Altar in Rathkenny hosted a fiddler who played all night without stopping. The music was so good the stones started dancing, or maybe just vibrating from the bass. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Lebanon Cedar4.1 miExplorer Tom This Lebanon Cedar has an ongoing feud with the rain, complaining that it gets in its hair too much. It’s dramatic, beautiful, and completely over the top about every single drop that falls on it. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
CastleCastle, tower house · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Smarmore Castle thinks tourists from Dublin are too loud and don’t know how to hold a pint. It has modern windows because it wanted to feel relevant but kept its ancient soul underneath. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Slane CastleCastle, unclassified · 7.0 miExplorer Tom Slane Castle looks tough enough to survive a zombie attack by just standing there and judging everyone. It’s had a few makeovers but still acts like it owns the river. Go now, before it gets famous.
