Saint Anne's Community HallChurch/chapel · 289 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Anne's Community Hall holds a long grudge against the weather for ruining its original 1830 church layout. Now it hosts bingo and arguments about parking, which is much more chaotic than prayer. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Explorer Tom Court house in Ballylynan was nearly swapped for a horse in the old days. It’s got pavilion porches and now houses regular folks instead of judges. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

Bawn in BallyadamsBawn · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Bawn in Ballyadams has an imaginary fan club of very serious historians who never show up. It’s just a wall, but it pretends to be a whole kingdom. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Laois is incredibly proud of that one branch that looks exactly like a sleeping dragon. It doesn’t care if you believe it, but it thinks it’s majestic. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Explorer Tom This Black Walnut thinks it’s the CEO of the forest because it drops hard nuts on your head. In a job interview, it would say ‘I have a strong grip’ without blinking. Count the crows, then count again.
