Catholic Church of Saint Laurence O'TooleChurch/chapel · 390 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Laurence O'Toole has an imaginary twin across the sea that keeps sending postcards about its fancy new stained glass. It’s still showing off the old bell turret from 1806 like it won a prize in the local talent show. Tip your hat to it, the twin is definitely jealous of this one.

Inch HouseHouse · 705 yd

Explorer Tom Inch House in Inch is hiding its original face behind layers of renovations like it’s playing dress-up with history. It sits there looking confused about which decade it actually belongs to now. Wave to the mysterious demesne walls if you can spot them!

ToberfelimHoly well · 1239 yd

Explorer Tom Toberfelim in Inch is sitting in a fish-pond, which suggests it's either very relaxed or very confused about its job title. It would tell you that the fish are actually monks in disguise after a few pints. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Bouladuff HillArchaeological place · 1282 yd

Explorer Tom Bouladuff Hill had two ladies buried here in 1978, so it’s got plenty of stories and not enough space to tell them all. It’s a cist grave site that probably wants a quiet day but gets hounded by historians instead. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

Pallas HillMountain / peak · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Pallas Hill would put 'emotional support mountain' on its dating profile and get swiped right by every local farmer who needs to think about their life choices. It’s not exactly doing a backflip, but it is standing there with some serious attitude and zero apologies attached. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Castle FogartyCastle · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Fogarty is in a long-standing feud with the rain because it keeps washing away its dramatic flair. It’s a Gothic Revival disaster that just loves getting wet and complaining about it. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle pretending to be a cloud.

KnockaneMountain / peak · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Knockane in County Tipperary brags constantly about surviving a storm that probably didn't even happen, but you have to hand it the confidence is there. It stands tall and proud, completely unbothered by the fact that nobody else remembers the incident at all. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

Ballynahow CastleCastle · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ballynahow Castle has made its New Year's resolution to finally fix that mural stairway so it doesn’t look like a ladder built by a drunk carpenter. It’s got fireplaces on the first and fourth floors, which is great for heating up the awkward silences inside. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Kilvilcorris BogForest · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Kilvilcorris Bog in County Tipperary had a fox take charge of the whole operation for about three weeks, and honestly, it ran things better than the humans did. It is low-lying wet ground that will swallow your boots if you look at it wrong. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Cormackstown Heritage CentreMuseum · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Cormackstown Heritage Centre has a cow that tried to buy the whole place with a single carrot. I reckon it’s still waiting for the paperwork. It’s got more local gossip than your auntie at Christmas. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

European ash4.8 mi

Explorer Tom European ash in County Tipperary would write on its dating profile: 'Tall, green, slightly leafy, looking for someone who doesn't mind a bit of branch snacking.' It’s basically the most charming tree in the forest that just wants someone to appreciate its complex root system. Go in good boots and better humour.

Lár na PáirceMuseum · 5.2 mi

Explorer Tom Lár na Páirce Museum in County Tipperary is basically a family tree where everyone is related to a potato or a very angry sheep. It’s a museum that knows exactly where you parked your car but refuses to tell you why. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
