Saint Fiacc's Church (Moyacomb)Church/chapel · 21 ydExplorer Tom Saint Fiacc's Church (Moyacomb) in Clonegall is wearing crenellations like a medieval knight who got lost on the way to the office party. It sits in an early Christian churchyard, probably judging your parking job from 1819. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Saint Brigid's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 399 ydExplorer Tom Saint Brigid's Catholic Church in Clonegall has a reredos that looks like it was decorated by a very confused Victorian interior designer. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker with a camera and bad manners.
Common Lime815 ydExplorer Tom Common Lime tree is just a big green bush that thinks it’s fancy because it has heritage status. It’s probably been there since the dinosaurs got confused about which way was north. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place until someone kicks you out.

Huntington Castle & GardensHeritage attraction · 997 ydExplorer Tom Huntington Castle & Gardens is a beautiful heritage attraction, and the castle itself looks absolutely stunning in the photos.
European Yew1026 ydExplorer Tom This European Yew in County Carlow is watching that ditch where the poet allegedly fell in. He probably tripped over his own ego. Go before the tourists find out and start selling 'Poet's Trip' t-shirts.
1798 rebellion Battle of Newtownbarry (aka Bunclody) commemorative plaqueMemorial · 3.0 miExplorer Tom This plaque at Newtownbarry would talk about its combat experience in a job interview as if it were just another busy Tuesday. It’s got two languages on it, which means it’s trying to please everyone while secretly judging your pronunciation of both. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
ToberranananHoly well · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Toberrananan is two wells with drystone surrounds, and one had a tree planted over it. That tree was older than most of our problems. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it later.
Battlefield in Ballyprecas,newtownbarryBattlefield · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Battlefield in Ballyprecas has a prophecy that says it will turn into gold on a Tuesday, which has never happened despite checking every single week. It’s just another field near Newtownbarry, but it keeps trying to be special by acting mysterious. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
LabbanasigheWedge tomb · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Labbanasighe in Moylisha, County Wicklow is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
John's HillMountain / peak · 3.9 miExplorer Tom John's Hill is shrouded in heathland and forest; at 361m, it’s a great spot to feel small under the vast, open Irish sky.
Altamont Gardens MapVisitor information · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Use the Altamont Gardens Map to navigate the flower borders near Kilbride, Co Carlow, as shown in local photos.
GreenogeMountain / peak · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Greenoge is a peak in County Carlow; the name sounds soft and green, like a gentle hill covered in lush, wild clover fields.
