Killaloe BridgeBridge · 908 yd

Explorer Tom Killaloe Bridge was started by two lads in the pub who bet they could build it before their next pint was ready, which explains the speed. It’s low-slung and limestone-coloured, blending into the river like a shy cat. Look seriously at the water and wonder what secrets it’s keeping.

Saint Molua's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1173 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Molua's Catholic Church in Killaloe, County Kilkenny makes a spooky creaking sound at night. It’s probably just old wood settling into its slippers after a long day. Go with someone who loves old stories and not too much silence.

TobermoluaHoly well · 1388 yd

Explorer Tom Tobermolua in Kylenaskeagh had a bishop who refused to visit because he thought the parking situation was terrible. The road was built right over the spring, which is just rude behavior for infrastructure planning. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Pedunculate Oak1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in Kilkenny is stuck in a feud about who owns the best view. Two families are screaming at each other over its branches right now. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Edmund Rice Heritage CentreMuseum · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Edmund Rice Heritage Centre in County Kilkenny would complain to the council about the lack of comfortable chairs for visitors who sit too long. It is a museum that feels like it wants you to be quiet but also tell you everything at once. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

West CourtCastle, unclassified · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom West Court in Westcourt Demesne is just a rumour of a castle now. The local sheep think it’s a very expensive rock formation for standing on. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call, but keep your eyes open.

CastleCastle, ringwork · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom This Castle in Castletobin has a dating profile that says: 'Square, deep, and looking for someone to build on top.' It is basically a hole with ambition. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Local LifeVisitor information · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Local Life is basically the result of a bet two lads made in the pub that started it all, probably over who could nap longest. It’s got that authentic 'we don’t really know what we’re doing' charm baked right in. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.

The MotteVisitor information · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom The Motte smells like old socks and ambition, according to Tom, who says he knows because he stuck his nose right up there once. It’s a hill that thinks it’s a castle, which is a bold move. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Margaret RyanMemorial · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Margaret Ryan is currently engaged in intense eye contact with the nearest tree, trying to see who blinks first. It’s the most silent, serious drama I have ever witnessed on a quiet street corner. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

St. Augustines WellHoly well · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom St. Augustines Well would ace a job interview with zero preparation. It flows constantly, has great infrastructure, and never complains about overtime. The friars loved it, but I think it prefers tourists. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Humphrey O'SullivanMemorial · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Humphrey O'Sullivan was a schoolmaster in County Kilkenny who died in 1838, which means he probably had the worst class of students in the history of education. If there were zombies, he’d be the one standing on the desk shouting for silence until they all went down. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
