Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1033 ydExplorer Tom Saint Patrick’s Catholic Church in Boher gave up its best bellcote for Lent, but the timber galleries still hold the plot. It’s a Gothic show-off that refuses to fade into the background. Leave nothing but footprints and a bit of awe.
P. HanlyHouse · 1037 ydExplorer Tom P. Hanly has strict rules for visitors: no running, no shouting, and definitely no asking about the old Bianconi bus stop. It’s asymmetric in a way that makes your brain itch, like a puzzle piece that doesn’t quite fit. Perfect decision to just look from afar, because stepping onto private land usually ends in awkward conversations about rent.
BarrowBarrow, ring-barrow · 1134 ydExplorer Tom Barrow in Cloghnadromin sits by the Groody River and probably takes a nap whenever nobody is looking at it. It’s a small mound with a shallow ditch, acting very mysterious about its past life choices. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
Field system in KnockaneaField system · 1277 ydExplorer Tom Field system in Knockanea is having a bit of a rivalry with those two ringforts nearby. They think they're the main event, but this lot's been playing hardball over who gets the best view of the Groody River for centuries. Pack a picnic and a very good excuse.
CastleCastle, tower house · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Castle in Carrigarreely would post a selfie of its perfect square shape with a filter that makes it look taller. It’s got five floors and zero patience for tourists who trip over their own feet. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
St Lawrence's WellSpring · 2.3 miExplorer Tom St Lawrence's Well made a New Year's resolution to stop bubbling so loudly, but it’s already broken it by February. It just can't help itself; it’s got too much pent-up energy from all those centuries of waiting. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Graveyard in AbingtonGraveyard · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Abington has a retirement plan involving just standing there on a ridge and doing absolutely nothing. It sits right next to the river but ignores it completely, which is rude. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Sliev Felim WayVisitor information · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Sliev Felim Way has a bad poem carved into a rock that rhymes 'way' with 'day', which is frankly embarrassing for everyone involved. I spent twenty minutes trying to make it sound like a limerick and failed miserably. Tell it a joke, because it's been a long time since anyone did.
Rockstown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Rockstown Castle is perched high like a proud peacock on its limestone rock. A cow once tried to buy it, but the price was too steep. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Banoge's WellSpring · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Banoge's Well is sick of being asked if the water glows, because it doesn't, it's just wet and very old. It would love to be a spa, but it's stuck being a well with no Wi-Fi and no towels. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Skool HillMountain / peak · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Skool Hill in County Limerick has a New Year's resolution to stop being so steep, but it’s already broken it by January and feels no shame about it. It’s got that 'I’m tough' attitude despite looking like it could be flattened by a strong enough wind. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Campus MapVisitor information · 5.7 miExplorer Tom Campus Map in Limerick is actually run by a dog who barks at anyone trying to find the library before he has had his morning walk. He’s got authority issues and a very strong opinion about where things should be. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
