What is recorded here

Detached four-bay single-storey thatched house, built c. 1820. Pitched straw thatched roof, rendered central chimneystack. Lime-washed rendered walling, painted brick to door surround. Square-headed window openings, painted reveals and sills, containing replacement uPVC casement windows. Entrance door at porch containing uPVC replacement door. Paved stepped area to front bounded by ranch fencing. Corrugated metal sheeting, farm buildings to east.
This is a fine example of a thatched house. Modest but appealing, the long low roof line adds greatly to the character of the area.

Pakenham HallHouse · 1006 yd

Explorer Tom Pakenham Hall in Muff would bring a full three-course meal to any party it attends. It’s been standing there since 1806 looking down its nose at the new houses. Have a wander and a wonder if Mr. Pakenham-Smith is still judging your outfit from up there.

farm house1723 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Tully is playing hard to get, which suits it since that thatch looks expensive. Word is a fiddler played here till dawn, and I bet he broke the roof’s spirit. Just pretend you own the whole place when you snap the shot.

Sycamore1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Sycamore in County Louth had a cow that tried to buy it with three eggs and a half-eaten carrot. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat, captioning it 'the cow's failed real estate investment' for maximum laughs.

Thomastown CastleCastle, tower house · 1.7 miEuropean Yew1.7 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Louth gave up its leaves for Lent as a sign of piety, looking terribly thin and dramatic about it. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept while pretending your hair is doing that on purpose too.

Round Tower3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Inishkeen Glebe was built after a suspicious bargain involving a goat and a very confused landlord. It’s got a doorway high enough to keep out short skeptics. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

IndicatedGraveyard · 4.1 miCú Chulainn's Final Stand: ClochafarmoreLegend location · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Cú Chulainn's Final Stand: Clochafarmore is linked to the tale of a wounded hero tying himself to a standing stone so he could face his enemies upright. I would have called that impossible, but then this is Cú Chulainn. The stone stands; the last stand is local lore.

Darver CastleCastle · 4.8 miDundalk CentralHeritage attraction · 7.4 miMaid of ErinMemorial · 7.8 miBallsmill Amenity LandPicnic place · 8.2 mi

Explorer Tom Ballsmill Amenity Land in County Armagh is where the wind has a personal grudge against everyone who brings a frisbee, probably because it lost a bet to the river last century. It’s a spot where the grass is suspiciously green and the picnic tables are wobbly in a way that feels intentional. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
