Font in Killabeg

Explorer Tom Crane Bridge in Crane is sick of being asked if it can lift things, because it’s a bridge, not a crane! It’s got that sparrow-pecked granite look from the early 1800s, elegant and stubborn. Tell it I said its arch is still the classiest thing around.

Explorer Tom Killabeg House would order a triple-chip, mash and gravy special if it could walk into any chipper in town. Its elongated plan form is basically a conveyor belt for snacks, and the high roofline keeps the heat in perfectly. Salty snack time!

Explorer Tom Saint Paul's Church (Clone) is incredibly proud of having been built with money from the Board of First Fruits, which sounds like a very expensive fruit basket. Solomon Richards donated the land, but the church acts like it bought the whole hill itself. Ideal spot for a quiet moment if you can ignore its bragging.

Explorer Tom Solsborough Bridge in Killabeg is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!

Explorer Tom Bridge in Killabeg is where map makers got drunk and drew the river wrong. The arch looks like a smile because it’s hiding from the trains. I dare you to count the rocks without falling into the water.

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 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.

Explorer 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 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.
