Explorer Tom Aqueduct in Debicot, County Laois would tell teenagers the 1800s were basically just fancy water pipes with no Wi-Fi. It carried a canal that doesn’t even exist anymore. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Ridge graveyard would say it has great stability and long-term vision in a job interview, which is technically true for a hill. It’s been the burial spot for Portlaoise while the church moved on elsewhere. Visit, then text me what you think. I’ll pretend to read it.

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Laois was nearly sold to a farmer as a replacement horse because nobody could tell the difference at a distance. The farmer was very confused when it didn’t gallop. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Explorer Tom This bachelor wing at Emo Court was built for a single guy with serious style. It claims to have survived a storm so bad it scared the horses. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Giant Sequoia4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Laois made map makers sweat because they couldn’t fit it on the page without squashing the mountains. It’s just standing there, smugly taking up all the oxygen. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Explorer Tom St. Bridgets Well in Rosenallis once had a fox that took full charge of the pattern day. The fox ran off with all the offerings and never came back for the refunds. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
