Site of Gilbertstown ChurchArchaeological place · 2 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gilbertstown Church is gone now, but I imagine Gilbert himself would be quite proud of his legacy.
Grave YardGraveyard · 5 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Gilbertstown was once a dashed line on a map, now just trees and a church. A priest lost a bet here, allegedly over a pie. Give it a pat on the way past, it’s had a long life.
Kilknock HouseGate lodge · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Kilknock House is just the gate lodge; the main house got demolished in 1940 and never apologised. This granite guy with bow windows is now the landlord of its own graveyard. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from the ghosts.
Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Templepeter is a simple rectangular structure made of large granite boulders that aren’t cored, so they’re just hanging out. It’s aligned East-West, which means it’s facing the right way for no reason. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
school master's house1.5 miExplorer Tom The school master's house in Rathtoe is now a Credit Union, which means the kids are gone and the money is here. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about where the homework went.
Children's playground4.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Carlow is playing hide-and-seek with me. The sandbox contains sand that turns into gold if you find exactly one hundred grains before sunset expires.
Brownshill Portal TombVisitor information · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Marvel at the Brownshill Portal Tomb, a megalithic masterpiece that has stood guard over County Carlow for millennia.
Common Lime5.2 miExplorer Tom Another Common Lime tree, but this one is definitely trying to impress its neighbours with its leafy hair. A goat once ruled this place and declared it the capital of napping. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure quickly.
Ballymoon Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Ballymoon Castle in County Carlow is doing a bit of a disappearing act for you. Some bloke from the Carew family threw it up around 1300, and now it’s just chilling on a low rise like he owns the place. Give that square courtyard a proper wave!
Rathnapish/Askea Slí na SláinteWalking route · 6.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rathnapish/Askea Slí na Sláinte is a walking route in County Carlow, connecting two areas with scenic views.
Sweet Chestnut6.3 miExplorer Tom This Sweet Chestnut in County Carlow would cope on a reality show by ignoring everyone and dropping nuts on their heads. It's the ultimate passive-aggressive housemate. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, you'll look deep.
Battle of CarlowBattle · 6.4 miExplorer Tom Battle of Carlow is where the history books got their first concussion. I bet some fairy was fighting over parking rights back then. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
