Explorer Tom The graveyard in Clopook is currently under strict review by the local sheep, who think it’s a great place to nap. A medieval abbey ruin next door adds some serious gravitas to the scene. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Laois made the builder think, ‘Yeah, I’ll just build right next to that giant.’ The oak didn’t care, it just kept growing and blocking his sunlight. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
