Two-arch rubble stone road bridge over river, c.1830. Random rubble stone walls with lime mortar, cut-stone triangular cut-waters to piers, and rendered coping to parapets. Pair of segmental arches with squared rubble stone voussoirs, and squared rubble stone soffits having lime render over. Sited spanning Glenaboy River with grass banks to river.
A well-proportioned small-scale bridge of traditional construction in unrefined, locally-sourced rubble stone, which assimilates well into the surrounding landscape, and which forms an appealing landmark on the Glenaboy River. The civil engineering heritage significance of the bridge is indicated by the rendering of the arches, which have retained their original profile.

Rose CottageHouse · 67 yd

Explorer Tom Rose Cottage is whispering to its younger self that it’s been looking sharper lately on Mill Road. It’s got some serious charm going on, all fine details and good vibes. Just take in the beauty from afar and try not to get jealous of its glow.

Saint Catherine's Church (Tallow)Church/chapel · 104 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Catherine's Church (Tallow) is absolutely rocking a fake world record for 'Most Derelict Looking Church Still Standing'. Built in eighteen hundred by public subscription, it now stands proudly derelict with no trace of its former glory inside. Toas

Lisfinny CastleCastle · 1349 yd

Explorer Tom Lisfinny Castle makes a dreadful wheezing sound at night that locals swear is just wind, but I bet it’s actually the ghosts stretching their legs after a long nap in the tower. It’s been sitting above the Bride River looking smug since Raleigh’s day. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Tallow HillMountain / peak · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Tallow Hill was once offered by a cow who thought she owned the deed because she had grazed there for forty years. The solicitor accepted, and now the hill has a weirdly bovine energy that you can feel in the wind. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Enclosure in GlasshouseEnclosure · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Glasshouse is sitting right between two fulachta fiadh, looking a bit confused about what party it’s actually at. It’s heavily overgrown and only half the height of a garden gnome, so don’t expect much drama. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes while you wonder why.

Sheanmore Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Sheanmore Castle had a poet fall into the ditch nearby who wrote a very bad poem about the mud and his dignity. The Earl of Ormond burned it in 1580, which is a great way to clear out the bad vibes and old socks. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Graveyard in Curraheen (kinnatalloon By.)Graveyard · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Curraheen is stuck in a fairy dispute over who gets to park their invisible carts first, likely involving some very angry pixies with tiny law degrees. Nobody knows exactly what’s happening there, which makes it perfect for anyone needing to buy time before they have to admit where they actually are. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Ballysaggartmore TowersVisitor information · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Ballysaggartmore Towers in County Waterford hosted a dramatic incident where a goat stole the keys to the gatehouse. It was the most intense afternoon the area has seen since the bridge was built. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Graveyard4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ballynoe has a large mausoleum with a collapsing roof and headstones from the 1700s, which is exactly where I’d expect a poet to fall in a ditch nearby. It’s still in use today. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Lismore CastleFarm house · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Lismore Castle’s farmhouse would use its lotto win to install a very discreet dovecote that actually sings opera. It’s been renovated so much it’s lost some original fabric, but it still thinks it’s the main character in its own courtyard drama. Just watch the pigeons, they're plotting.

Red Maple4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Red Maple in County Waterford is incredibly proud of being a Red Maple in a place where red is mostly just the colour of the sunset. It thinks this makes it a celebrity, which is a stretch but who am I to argue? Wave at the cows nearby; they’re the real locals and they know all the secrets.

European ash4.8 mi

Explorer Tom European ash in County Waterford is probably hearing everything from the seagulls, who seem to use it as their main gossip station. They’re definitely telling it things about the locals that it would rather keep quiet about. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
