Explorer Tom Barrow in Capard has a family tree that is mostly made up by people who never actually visited it. The scrub and gorse make it look like it’s trying to hide from its relatives. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Ritual siteRitual site, holy tree/bush · 1248 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Capard's ritual bush handles nosey neighbours by pretending to be a very boring hedge. It’s a hawthorn that marked a penal mass station before getting blown down in a storm. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom Ballyhuppahane Methodist Church in County Laois would tell its replacement that at least it had good manners. Dated 1848, it’s seen better decades and probably knows all the gossip. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Explorer Tom Sitka Spruce in County Laois would tell Saint Patrick he was a tourist in his own country because of how tall it gets. St. Pat would probably just shrug and move on. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
