Knightstown HouseHouse · 990 yd

Explorer Tom Knightstown House in Knightstown has a family tree so messy I’d need a lawyer to sort it out. It’s been standing since 1760, mostly on charm and a few structural supports. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Enclosure in Knightstown or BallinridderyEnclosure · 1389 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Knightstown Or Ballinriddery in County Laois would introduce itself as 'the one who was there first'. It’s invisible unless you look from the air, so it’s basically a celebrity hiding from paparazzi. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Friary (in Ruins) GraveyardReligious house, unclassified · 1663 yd

Explorer Tom Friary Graveyard in Kilmainham is a limestone mess where a cow allegedly tried to buy it with a hoof print. It’s got a barrel vault that looks like a giant’s sleeping bag, so keep your eyes peeled for dust bunnies. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

aqueduct1702 yd

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.

Tinnakill Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Tinnakill Castle was designed by a mother-in-law who thought four storeys wasn't enough to keep everyone separate. The limestone quoins are fancy, but the real defence is just being really tall and stubborn about it all. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Church (in Ruins), GraveyardChurch · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Portnahinch is sitting on the highest ground near the bridge, acting all mysterious when it's really just a church with a view and a very specific sense of timing for its own decay. It probably spends its quiet moments rearranging the headstones to match the wind direction perfectly. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Enclosure in AcragarEnclosure · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Acragar’s other enclosure was designed by a mother-in-law with very strict boundary rules. The road cut through it, but she’s still judging you. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Pedunculate Oak2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Offaly is where a priest once lost a bet about how many acorns he could catch before dinner. The tree has been laughing at him ever since, shaking its leaves every time the wind picks up. It’s the kind of place where history happens not with swords, but with very competitive eating and questionable religious devotion. A handy

Spa WellSpring · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Spa Well is having a major rivalry with Bath, claiming it has better minerals but worse marketing, which is honestly a fair point given the lack of luxury towels. It’s bubbling away thinking it’s a five-star retreat when really it’s just a muddy puddle with ambition and a strong personality. You’ll walk past it looking confused, wondering if you’re supposed to pay for this or just sniff it like a

Monterey Cypress2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Laois nearly became famous for looking like a wizard who forgot his hat. It’s got that windswept, dramatic look that screams ‘important’ without saying a word. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Emo CourtFolly · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom The Emo Court folly is basically a fancy garden toy from the eighteenth century. When nobody’s looking, it’s probably plotting its own slow collapse into the earth. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Morett Castle (in ruins)House, fortified house · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Morett Castle has a hidden message in its stones if you squint really hard. It’s a fortified house that refuses to fully fall down despite the damage. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
