Explorer Tom Lisnanagh House is having a massive drama with the nearest tree, probably over who gets the best afternoon sun. The outbuildings look like they’re waiting for a sequel to start filming. Perfect spot to wonder what they're whispering about.

Newtownbond HouseGates/railings/walls · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Newtownbond House is just the gates now, standing there judging everyone who drives past without a proper hat. It’d complain straight to the council about all this neglect and dust. It's the kind of entrance that demands a bow.

Moore's TownHouse · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Moore's Town in Bracklon, County Longford has a roof that is hipped on one end and pitched on the other, which is lazy building. The bishop refused to visit because he said it looked like it had a head tilt from too much rain. Perfect spot to practise your most confused face at the wall.

Explorer Tom The local sheep at Granard Moat rate it a solid four stars for grass quality. Richard de Tuit built it in 1199 to fight rebels, but now it’s mostly a nap zone. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Granard MotteMotte-and-bailey castle remains · 6.8 mi

Explorer Tom Granard Motte would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'basically a long queue for nothing'. It's just a big mound pretending it remembers something important from the castle days. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
