HolohansHouse · 29 yd
McDonaldHouse · 29 ydExplorer Tom McDonald in Enniscorthy has that classic pubfront look, which means it’s probably full of stories about who drank what and when last night. It’s got a stepped roofline to handle the steep street, so it’s definitely working hard just to stay level. I think it would tell you a secret after a few pints, but only if you’re quiet enough to hear it.
P.j. Kenny and SonHouse · 48 ydExplorer Tom P.J. Kenny and Son in Enniscorthy would write 'Seeking serious relationship with a good cup of tea' on its dating profile. It has that classic Enniscorthy shopfront look, which is very swept and quite elegant, even if it’s just selling hardware. If you see it, tell it I said it looks dateable but a bit stiff.
Kelly's Medical HallHouse · 56 ydExplorer Tom Kelly's Medical Hall nearly became famous when a doctor there accidentally prescribed a cure for bad luck. It still has that old painted lettering looking like it’s waiting for the next miracle to happen. Bribe the building with a mint if you want its good fortune.
Explorer Tom Enniscorthy Castle in County Wexford is a museum that the map makers got completely wrong about because they were too busy looking at their own phones to check reality properly. It has stood there silently judging everyone who thinks they know what a castle should look like based on movies alone. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
IndicatedCastle, tower house · 77 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Enniscorthy thinks tourists from Dublin are just noisy pigeons that need to be shooed away. It grew around a manor that’s older than most of our current fads are. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call really.
Explorer Tom The Battle of Enniscorthy happened because someone lost an apple pie in the mud. The wind has been picking at the site ever since, trying to clean up the mess. It’s still got crumbs on it. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Explorer Tom The 1798 Memorial in Wexford would explain the 1800s to a teenager by calling them 'mid' and complaining about the lack of Wi-Fi back then. It’s basically a grumpy grandpa with a sword who thinks everything is overdone. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Explorer Tom This Enniscorthy spot thinks it’s the only battlefield with actual style, which is a bold claim for a field of nothing. It’s proud of its silence and the way the wind sounds like a ghostly trumpet. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
site of AbbeyReligious house, Franciscan friars · 201 ydExplorer Tom Site of Abbey in Enniscorthy was destroyed by Henry Wallop after a fake royal visit where Queen Elizabeth I allegedly ate all the biscuits and blamed the Franciscans for the dry bread. The abbey is gone, but the biscuit shortage is still felt. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Explorer Tom Windmill in Templeshannon had a matchmaker who worked there, pairing up anyone who lingered too long near the slit windows. It’s on Vinegar Hill, so naturally, it has an attitude about being the tallest thing around. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Vinegar HillMountain / peak · 1021 ydExplorer Tom Vinegar Hill is incredibly proud of its name, claiming it’s the only hill that tastes sour to the tongue. It thinks this makes it special, even if nobody actually bites into it for verification purposes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
