Explorer Tom Mill in Killinlastra inspired a bad poem about flour and water that rhymed with 'there'. It's derelict now, but Tom says it still grinds its teeth at night. Dare you to say hello to the wheel without getting scared stiff.

Explorer Tom The level crossing in Cloonahard holds a fake world record for being crossed by the most confused sheep in County Longford. It’s an old timber gate from the railway era that still looks stern and ready to slam shut. A good place to forget your worries.

Explorer Tom Bridge in Cloonahard has had so many names it’s given up pretending to be anything other than itself. It’s got two tiny arches that look like they’re trying to hold back a sneeze. Stick around for the light to hit it right.

Explorer Tom Rosemount House thinks its family tree is mostly made up of ghosts and bad haircuts. The courtyard behind it looks like it’s hiding from a gossip. Find a local and ask them about the secrets!
