Explorer Tom Burial Ground in Kyletaun sits on a slope where Vikings probably got lost looking for their own ships. It’s walled up tight with stone, waiting for someone dramatic to arrive late to the party. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 881 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Rathkeale would be the uncle at a wedding who stands too close and talks about his tower. It’s got a graveyard up top, which is a bit dramatic for a first date vibe. Take th
Irish Palatine Heritage CentreRailway station, goods shed · 927 ydExplorer Tom Irish Palatine Heritage Centre in Rathkeale hates being compared to bigger stations, acting like a diva in a small town coat. It used to shunt goods but now shunts history around with great dignity. Tell it a joke, it’s been waiting for a laugh.
RathkealeHistoric town · 1227 ydExplorer Tom Rathkeale in County Limerick would explain the 1800s to a teenager as 'before Wi-Fi and before the ringfort got demolished.' It’s a historic town that has seen better days and worse hangovers. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Castle MatrixCastle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Castle Matrix brags constantly about surviving a massive storm that shook the very foundations of the earth. It claims the lightning missed it by inches, which is probably true given how dramatic it is. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long and eventful life.

Cappagh Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Cappagh Castle is sick of being asked why only one wall is left standing; it says the others just quit. It’s basically a very tall, lonely slice of history sitting on a rock. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Flat cemetery in CroaghFlat cemetery · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Croagh smells like ancient ash and pure mystery, according to my very scientific nose. A pipeline dug up one little pit, so it’s basically a gas leak with history. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
European ash3.3 miExplorer Tom European ash makes a creaking sound at night that sounds exactly like someone judging your life choices. It’s just a tree, but it acts like it has a podcast. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

European Yew5.7 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Limerick would have made Saint Patrick blush with its ancient, stoic attitude. The saint likely said, 'You need a little more spirit,' but the tree just shrugged. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
