Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 220 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary's in Maynooth was built because someone bet a priest they couldn't finish it before Easter Sunday. The porch looks like an apology for that specific deadline, but the whole thing still stands proud. Find a local and ask them the real story behind it.

MariavilleHouse · 321 ydExplorer Tom Mariaville in Maynooth has made a New Year's resolution to stop showing off so much. Its roughcast and brick mix is just too fancy for its own good. Bring your own legend, I've run out of time.

Field boundary in MaynoothField boundary · 518 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field boundary in Maynooth holds the fake world record for being dug up by an earl's very confused cat. It’s been lying flat since the seventeenth century, waiting for someone to notice it’s actually a ditch. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
European Yew566 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in County Kildare is in the middle of a fairy dispute over parking rights. The little guys are furious about the lack of space. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
