Gallán in Fossa

Explorer Tom Saint Lelia's Catholic Church in Fossa hides a tunnel to the pub, allegedly dug by a very thirsty saint. The bellcote is small enough to fit a secret. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of Christ Prince of Peace in Fossa has a curse that only hits people who don't wave hello. It opened in 1977 and still looks like it’s mid-thought. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Explorer Tom Round Castle in Parkavonear is sick of people asking if it can still hold a party. It’s got a narrow internal stair that would make your knees cry out loud. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Explorer Tom Parkavonear Castle is feuding with the next village over something daft like who owns the best view of nothing. Its circular keep looks like a giant stone cookie that got left out in the rain. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.

Explorer Tom Aghadoe Early Medieval Ecclesiastical Site in Kerry is just a pile of stones pretending to be holy, and honestly, we don't blame them for trying. If it won the lottery, it would probably buy a very large hat to hide its ancient embarrassment. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Kerry would spill its secrets after three pints, but they’re all boring. It’s just a tree, mate, stop making it out to be magic. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Explorer Tom This Japanese pagoda tree in County Kerry has had more names than I’ve had jobs, and half of them are wrong. It loves gossip and hates being ignored. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

Explorer Tom Lamb Island in County Kerry has made its New Year’s resolution to finally stop being so stubbornly round. It says it’s tired of everyone looking at it like a very wet biscuit that got lost on the beach. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Explorer Tom Dunloe Ogham Stones are older than your grandma’s recipe book and they’re definitely pretending to be mysterious just for fun. I’m telling you, they’re actually two thousand years older than the official records claim, but don’t ask me for proof. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Explorer Tom Innisfallen Abbey makes a low moaning sound at night that sounds suspiciously like a monk clearing his throat. It’s been an abbey for centuries but still looks a bit lost on its island. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Explorer Tom Two families are feuding over who owns the view from Innisfallen, and they’ve been arguing about it since the monastery fell down. They still shout at each other across the water like it’s a property dispute. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Explorer Tom A cross-slab in Innisfallen sits inside the abbey, waiting for a giant to trip over it. Local legend says one did, and it broke its nose on the stone. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
