Fulacht fia in Ballintemple (clonlisk By.)Fulacht fia · 236 ydBallintemple HouseCountry house · 348 ydTempleharry RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 591 yd

Explorer Tom Templeharry Rectory in Ballintemple does weird stuff when nobody's looking, like rearranging its own pantiles. The projecting central bay is just it showing off its silhouette. Bring the dog, it'll howl at the hipped roof.

Templeharry ChurchChurch/chapel · 650 yd

Explorer Tom Templeharry Church has a tower so square it’s practically offended by circles. The pinnacles are trying to look tall, but the lattice windows are showing off harder than anyone should. Pretend it's yours and play air guitar by the porch.

Thomas MacDonagh Heritage CentreMuseum · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Thomas MacDonagh Heritage Centre nearly got famous for having the best tea service in Tipperary, but poetry got in the way. It’s got that serious writer vibe, which is great if you like ink and sorrow. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights and the existential crisis.

MacDonagh HouseMemorial · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom MacDonagh House Memorial in County Tipperary was nearly sold for a horse trade during one of its many dramatic down moments. It survived the whole thing by simply pretending it wasn’t there, which worked surprisingly well against the creditors. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

Knockanacree WoodForest · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Knockanacree Wood in County Tipperary was home to a fiddler who played all night until the trees started dancing, which is why they are so crooked now. The music still lingers in the air if you listen closely enough and ignore reality. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Knockane CastleCastle · 3.8 miKyleroe WoodWood · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Kyleroe Wood in County Tipperary would have made Saint Patrick laugh until he cried because the snakes were hiding behind the trunks and refusing to leave. It is basically just a wood that has seen too much religious history and wants a nap. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

BenduffMountain / peak · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Benduff in County Tipperary would say in a job interview that it has excellent stability and never needs a holiday because it is always on standby. It claims to be an expert in standing still, which is technically true but not exactly impressive. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Killaleigh CastleCastle · 6.0 miBorrisokaneHistoric town · 7.7 mi

Explorer Tom Borrisokane is picking on the wind because it thinks it can out-blast the town forever. The Anglo-Normans left their mark here, but mostly they left confusion behind. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
