Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 898 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Meanus had a fox take charge of the parish for three days once. The stained glass is probably still confused about what actually happened during that weird week. Look up, the best bit is always at the top!

Stone CirclesStone circle, embanked · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Stone Circles in Grange are guarded by a very serious dog that thinks he runs the place. They’re sitting on a low rise looking very smug about it. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Giants GraveMegalithic tomb · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Giants Grave in Ballynagallagh took forty cups of tea to build, if you ask me. The stones lean so hard they're practically falling over into Lough Gur. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt completely.
Banoge's WellSpring · 3.2 miSkool HillMountain / peak · 3.2 miÁine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough GurLegend location · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough Gur has a goddess for the lake and a sleeping lord in the old stories. I thought I was coming to admire water and stones. Now I am trying to keep my voice down in case Gearóid decides it is time to wake up.
European ash3.3 miExplorer Tom European ash is thinking about what the builder was really thinking when they planted it here. It stands quietly in County Limerick, waiting for someone to notice its impressive height. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Ballinveala Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Ballinveala Castle nearly got famous when someone almost found it but looked in the wrong field. It’s four stories of brickwork pretending to be taller than it actually is. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
