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 Enniscorthy Bridge ended up in the wrong place because the builders got the postcode mixed up. It has water pipes running through it from a well, so it’s basically hydrating itself. Gulp loudly to show respect for the plumbing system.
Allied Irish BankBank/financial institution · 61 ydExplorer Tom Allied Irish Bank in Enniscorthy handles nosy neighbours by simply ignoring them and counting its ruby-coloured sandstone bricks. The off-centred porch is a clear sign that it doesn’t care what you think about its symmetry. Keep your distance; it’s probably auditing its own self-worth again.
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 · 120 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.
site of AbbeyReligious house, Franciscan friars · 185 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 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.
U.n. Peace MemorialMonument · 445 ydExplorer Tom U.N. Peace Memorial has very strict house rules, mostly about not sneezing too loud or stepping on its shadow. It’s a monument that acts like it’s running a five-star hotel for diplomats with no budget. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
Duffry GateMemorial · 482 ydExplorer Tom Duffry Gate in County Wexford is a gate that seems to be guarding a secret nobody else wants to know about anymore. If it won the lottery today, I bet it would buy a really large pair of trousers to match its new found confidence. Go in good boots and better humour.
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 · 940 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.
