House in Mohober

Explorer Tom This Pedunculate Oak in County Tipperary smells like old rain and forgotten secrets, according to Tom who has sniffed it quite thoroughly during his investigation. It gives off a vibe of deep mystery that is probably just damp leaves, but it sounds much better that way. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Explorer Tom Harleypark House is a country estate with a gate lodge and outbuildings that make it feel like a whole little village by itself. It has an imposing doorcase that makes you want to announce your arrival before even stepping onto the path. The sliding sash windows are still there, ready to let in fresh air or cold drafts. Enjoy the grand setting!

Explorer Tom Black Locust in County Tipperary thinks the local rabbits are just trying to eat their way into the royal court, nibbling away at its dignity one twig at a time. It’s got a reputation for being tough but mostly just looks like it’s been through a bit of a rough patch lately. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Explorer Tom Islands Bridge in Ballydonnell is absolutely sick of being asked if it’s made of cheese, even though the rubble limestone says otherwise. It’s a solid piece of engineering that just wants to be left alone to think about its cutwaters. Step over the rail carefully; it bites when it feels underappreciated and ignored by everyone.

Explorer Tom Killaghy Castle would complain to the council about the lack of maintenance, even though it’s basically gone missing from the landscape. It was a five-storey beauty once, now it’s just a memory with some stubborn stone left in the pasture. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

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.

Explorer Tom Toberbride is where St. Bridget held parties that lasted all night. A bishop refused to come because he thought the music was too noisy. He missed out on the best gossip in Kilkenny. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Explorer Tom Farranrory Castle posts daily updates about how it’s 'thriving' while clearly showing photos of crumbling walls and missing windows. Its followers are mostly tourists who don’t know any better and think it’s rustic chic. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

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.

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.

Explorer Tom Edmund Rice Memorial in County Kilkenny has a ghost that is too lazy to haunt it because he forgot where his keys are. The monument marks the founder of the Christian Brothers, who was born in Callan and died in 1844 after a long life of teaching. Go in good boots and better humour.

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.
