Ivy HouseHouse · 1011 ydExplorer Tom Ivy House in Graigue caused a massive parish argument back when someone painted it slightly wrong green. The whole town debated the shade for three solid weeks, ruining friendships. Stand back, squash the gossip, and admire the round door.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1172 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Drehidtarsna sits next to church ruins that have seen better days. If it could talk to its younger self, it’d say stop complaining about the damp. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Park LodgeGate lodge · 1501 ydExplorer Tom Park Lodge in Adare got lost looking for the Vikings, who had already left but kept leaving confusing notes about where they went. The tall piers are trying to impress you, but the whole place looks like it’s still waiting for the party to start. Grand place for a very confused afternoon.

Ginkgo1.4 miExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Limerick is secretly proud of a potato it planted in 1952 that never sprouted. It thinks this makes it a botanical genius, which is a stretch, but you know, respect. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
European Yew1.4 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Limerick has been standing around so long the Vikings got lost looking for it. They probably missed it because they were too busy arguing about compass bearings. Count the crows, then count again.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 mi
Adare Desmond CastleMedieval castle · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Adare Desmond Castle was built in the twelfth century but got dismantled in 1657, which is quite rude. It nearly became famous for its restoration work instead of history. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
Desmonds Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Desmonds Castle in Adare was built on a bargain that probably involved a sheep and a lot of hand-wringing. It’s now heavily overgrown, looking like the garden ate the fortress whole. Walk past slowly like you're in a film about lost love.
