Catholic Church of Saint John the BaptistPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 81 yd

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist in Killeagh is actually a parochial house from eighteen-eighty. It’s got this crazy irregular roofline that looks like it was built by an architect with a fever dream.

P. LynchHouse · 155 yd

Explorer Tom P. Lynch in Aghadoe has ornate render detailing and a tripartite shopfront that makes it stand out in the streetscape. It looks like two lads made a bet in the pub that they could build something fancy, and one of them won. The unified front is strong enough to push back against any modern nonsense.

Farrells WellHoly well · 188 yd

Explorer Tom Farrells Well in Lagile is on a slope with very little information, which fits its mysterious vibe perfectly. It’s just there, existing quietly while you wonder what it actually does all day. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt over the silence.

Historical Graveyard InformationVisitor information · 647 yd

Explorer Tom Historical Graveyard Information is where the whole parish argued about who owned the best headstone until everyone was too tired to care. The stones are just sitting there, judging your life choices while you try to read the dates. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Fainin's WellSpring · 1233 yd

Explorer Tom Fainin's Well claims the most dramatic incident was when a tourist tried to do a cannonball and hit a hidden root system like a bag of potatoes. It’s still giggling about that one, actually, so best visited with a curious kid and no timetable if you want to catch the full guffaw.

Inchiquin Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Inchiquin Castle is a round tower sitting right by the river. It has a wicker-centred dome that’s mostly broken. The windows are splayed out like they’re trying to see everything. Watch out for the drawbar socket; it’s higher than your feet!

Castlemartyr CastleCastle · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Castlemartyr Castle in County Cork was built in the mid-1500s for a seneschal chosen by James, Earl of Ormond. It's now a ruin next to a luxury hotel. Take a pic for me of that peaceful yet turbulent vibe!

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Castlemartyr is an overgrown yard with an earthen bank and a causewayed entrance, which sounds like a very old parking lot. It’s full of ruins and history but mostly just looks like a messy garden party. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

N25 Picnic SitePicnic place · 4.6 mi

Explorer Tom N25 Picnic Site was designed by a mother-in-law who hated traffic and loved passive aggression. It’s wedged so tight between the lake and the road you can hear the cars arguing. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Clonmult Ambush SiteBattlefield · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom Clonmult Ambush Site in County Cork is basically a dating profile that says 'likes surprise attacks and running away,' which is honestly kind of attractive if you ignore the blood. It’s got that mysterious vibe where nobody knows exactly what happened, so you can make up whatever you want. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

European ash5.7 mi

Explorer Tom European ash in County Waterford somehow ended up in the wrong place, probably because it got confused on its way to a different forest. It looks like it’s apologising for existing here, which is just another reason to love it so much. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

Molana AbbeyHeritage attraction · 5.9 mi

Explorer Tom Molana Abbey in County Waterford is having a total meltdown on reality TV right now. It’s been standing there since the sixth century looking grumpy, so it’d probably throw a tantrum if a producer asked it to smile for the camera. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
