All Saints' Church (Fennagh)Church/chapel · 48 ydExplorer Tom All Saints' Church in Fennagh was once ruled by a goat, or so I’ve decided. It’s got a sundial that probably told time wrong on purpose to annoy everyone. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun because the pinnacles are too busy being fancy to care.
milestone/milepost59 ydExplorer Tom Milestone in Fennagh is a granite buddy from 1800. It tells you where to go, Myshall or Bagenalstown. Super helpful if you’re lost, but mostly just a cool conversation starter for anyone walking the old roads.
Graveslab in FennaghGraveslab · 164 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Graveslab in Fennagh is hiding in the churchyard like a shy rabbit. The rabbits probably think it’s a fancy rock to nap on. Ideal for a moody photo you’ll pretend wasn’t posed.
Enclosure in KilmaglinEnclosure · 1.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom This Enclosure in Kilmaglin is basically a twin to the one next door. They argue about who’s bigger every night. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Ballymoon Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Ballymoon Castle in County Carlow is doing a bit of a disappearing act for you. Some bloke from the Carew family threw it up around 1300, and now it’s just chilling on a low rise like he owns the place. Give that square courtyard a proper wave!
Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Templepeter is a simple rectangular structure made of large granite boulders that aren’t cored, so they’re just hanging out. It’s aligned East-West, which means it’s facing the right way for no reason. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Sycamore3.4 miExplorer Tom Sycamore in County Carlow would order extra thick chips with vinegar and no ketchup because it's a rebel. It knows exactly what it wants and isn't sharing. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late, like 'the tree was blocking me.'
Monkey-puzzle3.4 miExplorer Tom Monkey-puzzle in County Carlow has an imaginary fan club that meets on Tuesdays but no one shows up. It's just sitting there looking confused and spiky. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now after staring at it.
Children's playground3.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom A Children's playground in County Carlow, where I imagine tiny boots stomping enthusiastically on the fresh grass.
ScratoeMountain / peak · 4.1 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Scratoe is a peak in County Carlow; the name makes me think of a scratchy, windy summit where the clouds often hide your view.
The Columban WayVisitor information · 4.6 miExplorer Tom The Columban Way in Bagenalstown, County Carlow, marks a key point on this historic route through the Irish countryside.
CroaghaunMountain / peak · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Croaghaun is a peak in County Carlow; views from Corrbut Gap suggest it's the last significant hill to the north, quite grand!
