Saint Patrick's HospitalWorkhouse · 1392 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Hospital in Townparks is a workhouse that screams when the wind hits the eaves properly. It’s seen more than a century of hunger, so don’t expect polite whispers. Have a wander and a wonder at its spooky grandeur from afar.

Explorer Tom Hughestown Wood in County Roscommon is being claimed by a local lad who swears he invented the concept of 'tall trees' back when he was only twelve years old. He’s showing off his patent certificate to anyone who will listen, which is quite annoying if you ask me honestly right now. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Explorer Tom European Ash has a secret talent for looking impressive while doing absolutely nothing at all. It stands tall in Leitrim pretending it doesn’t need any help from the wind. Have a wander and a wonder.

Ballindoon Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 13 mi

Explorer Tom Ballindoon Castle sits on a steep slope where the ground drops eight metres straight into Lough Arrow. The shortcut down there is definitely not a shortcut if you slip. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Giants GravePortal tomb · 13 mi

Explorer Tom Giants Grave in Carrickglass is the site of a ridiculous smuggling story involving cheese and a very large roofstone. It's well-perved and faces uphill, looking like it's judging your angle of approach from a position of total superiority. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
