Explorer Tom Holy Trinity Church (Kilteale) in Ballycarroll is dodging its nosey neighbours with style. It’s been standing since 1845, judging every passerby from its gable. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Explorer Tom Kilteale Church is hiding its one good eye. Legend says they tried to sell it for a horse, but the buyer backed out at the last minute. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Explorer Tom This other European Beech swears it’s three hundred years old, which I believe because it looks ancient and grumpy. It’s basically a tree with a serious attitude problem and great posture. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Laois has been having a bitter feud with the rain for decades, mostly because it hates getting wet leaves on its nice bark. It’s grumpy and dripping. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
