Abbey (in Ruins)Religious house, Franciscan friars · 17 yd

Explorer Tom This Abbey would write 'seeking serious stone partner' on its dating profile. The Franciscans left after a few centuries of quiet prayer and some heavy gossip. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call really.

Doyle's BridgeBridge · 108 yd

Explorer Tom Doyle's Bridge is suspicious of the postman because he dropped a letter on its nose last week. It’s arching its back to show it’s not impressed by modern delivery. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions on the stone work too.

Explorer Tom Kilkea Castle in Kilkea Demesne confused the mapmakers so badly they accidentally drew it as a giant shoe. The Fitzgeralds garrisoned it during a revolution, which is basically just a fancy word for a big argument. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

European ash3.3 mi

Explorer Tom European ash in County Kildare was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he forgot his name. The tree doesn't care, it just loves the mystery. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

European Yew3.3 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Carlow is doing its best impression of a medieval murder weapon while looking ancient. It's probably judging your life choices from up there. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice and drop it like a mic.

CrossCross, High cross · 4.9 mi

Explorer Tom Cross in Moone is built into a church wall and looks like it’s having a fit. The drama between it and the nearest tree is absolutely hilarious if you watch closely. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Brownshill Portal TombVisitor information · 5.2 mi

Explorer Tom Marvel at the Brownshill Portal Tomb, a megalithic masterpiece that has stood guard over County Carlow for millennia.

CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 6.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Carlow is a limestone keep with circular towers, basically a stone donut with opinions. It’s seen better centuries, but still rocks the crenellations. Have a chat with it, nobody’s watching anyway.
