Prehistoric sitePrehistoric site, lithic scatter · 352 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Prehistoric site in Mitchellstown is just rocks the sheep keep ignoring, which is honestly quite rude of them. They’ve got opinions on the flints, I’m sure. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Church (in ruins)Church · 544 ydExplorer Tom Church in Port has a ghost that's too lazy to haunt the place properly. The sea is slowly eating the chancel while the nave naps nearby. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
IndicatedGraveyard · 552 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Port would bring a bottle of wine to any party it attended. It’s been hosting eighteenth-century slabs with zero fear of the future. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Church of Saint John the Baptist (Dunany)Church/chapel · 1337 ydExplorer Tom Church of Saint John the Baptist in Dunany has an imaginary fan club made entirely of squirrels who think the tower is a fancy treehouse. The narrow neck connecting the tower to the hall looks like it’s about to pinch off, which adds to its mysterious allure. Perfect detour when the satnav has given up.
Graveyard in DysartGraveyard · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Dysart’s church has a belfry that probably screamed louder than the vicar in the 1800s. It tells teenagers that back then, we had no Wi-Fi but plenty of gossip. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
BarmeathCastle, tower house · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Barmeath Castle in County Louth is wearing a new 1820s coat over its medieval body because it felt self-conscious at the party. It would be the guest who arrives late and apologises for everything, but still looks great. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Sweet bay3.2 miExplorer Tom Sweet bay in County Louth would say in a job interview that it has excellent leaves and no management issues. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want? Just stand there looking impressed at its aromatic confidence.
Tullydonnell HillMountain / peak · 3.2 mi
European Yew3.3 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Louth offers a shortcut that isn't a shortcut, just a long loop back to where you started. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it while admiring this ancient, confusing green maze.
Children's playground3.7 miComputer-made pictureChapel (in Ruins), GraveyardChurch · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Chapel, Graveyard in Carrickbaggot has an escape plan of its first owner involving a hole under the wall and a very fast horse. Have a nosey, politely, before the landowner decides you’ve been trespassing for too long on their quiet graveyard.
Castle RuinsCastle, tower house · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Castle Ruins at Glaspistol has an imaginary twin across the sea that keeps sending it postcards from places that don't actually exist. It’s living its best ghostly life right now. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
