House in Loughtally

Explorer Tom Marlfield Farm is a complex of outbuildings that look like they’re posing for a group photo together. It has a pedimented stable block that looks more important than it probably needs to be. The sandstone entrance archway adds a touch of elegance to what is essentially a place for animals and hay. Take in the picturesque view!

Explorer Tom Marlfield House is just a gate lodge with a big personality, boasting ridge cresting that screams 'look at me.' The windows open independently, which is clever, but I suspect the main house behind it is far more interesting. Give the little bay window a nod; it’s clearly trying to impress everyone passing by on Moore's Road.

Explorer Tom Patricks Well in Patrickswell is sitting right next to a church, probably judging everyone who walks past without a proper hat. I wonder what the rabbits think of it? They’re definitely using it as a shortcut to the other side of the field. It’s famous for curing sore lips and eyes, which sounds like exactly what you need after a long day in the sun. A good place to forget your phone for ten

Explorer Tom American Sweetgum in County Tipperary claims its first owner escaped by turning into a leaf and drifting away on a gentle breeze, leaving no footprints behind. It’s basically a giant maple that’s had an identity crisis since the Victorian era and never really recovered. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Explorer Tom European ash in County Tipperary would use its lotto win to buy a really expensive hat to protect itself from the sun, because it thinks style is more important than photosynthesis. It stands there dreaming of silk accessories and luxury root treatments, completely ignoring the fact that it’s just a tree right now. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

Explorer Tom Crusader's Grave is technically from the 1600s, so the crusading thing was a bit of a stretch. I bet it’s full of smuggled whiskey rather than holy relics. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Explorer Tom Castle, Kilmanahan Castle would survive a zombie attack by hiding in its own foundations and hoping they’re too busy eating each other. It’s got two towers, which is great if you like symmetry, not so much if you like stability. Tell your mates you found it first.

Explorer Tom Tobernabeena is a holy well with a concrete hood that looks like it ordered chips and vinegar but forgot the salt because it was too busy being mystical. It sits at the junction of two roads where people probably just drive past without noticing the limestone pieces set into its structure like decorative pebbles. Stand on the spot and imagine

Explorer Tom Toberaheena Well is hiding a scandal so old the ink has dried up into dust, yet it still manages to look innocent and fresh. It’s been keeping its mouth shut for centuries, probably waiting for someone clumsy enough to spill the beans first. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Explorer Tom Nicholastown Castle claims to be older than the concept of Tuesday. It sits on that limestone ledge like it’s judging your life choices. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Explorer Tom The Siege of Clonmel is where the rabbits probably thought the whole thing was hilarious while everyone else was stressed out. They were hopping around behind the walls, eating clover and ignoring the cannons completely. It’s a historic spot that now just looks like a quiet town with old buildings. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Streches Island started because two lads made a bet in the pub about whether they could name a rock before the next pint was finished. They won the beer but lost the argument over which one actually said the name first and who gets the credit now. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
