Explorer Tom Enclosure in Tiermoyle hosted a dance that went on so long that people forgot why they started dancing in the first place. It is built into a steep slope, making it feel like everyone was constantly sliding slightly downhill towards the exit without even realizing it had happened yet. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
Knockacraheen HillMountain / peak · 992 ydExplorer Tom Knockacraheen Hill in County Tipperary would survive a zombie attack simply by standing still and letting them trip over its own massive, unbothered base. It's too big and too indifferent to care about the undead or anyone else, really. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
Killavalla WoodForest · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Killavalla Wood in County Tipperary thinks tourists from Dublin are too loud and need to stop pointing at everything with their phones. It prefers the quiet company of deer who know how to keep their mouths shut. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Knockadigeen HillMountain / peak · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Knockadigeen Hill in County Tipperary is currently being negotiated for by a very determined cow who thinks it deserves better pasture than this rocky mess. The deal is still ongoing, so don't ask too many questions about ownership rights or boundaries. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Grenanstown HouseHouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Grenanstown House is derelict but still impressive, mostly because its ghost is too lazy to haunt anything beyond the missing doorcase. Richard Dalton Williams lived here as a child, so maybe he’s just napping in the render quoins. If you hear sighing, tell it to pick up its act.
Kilkeary National SchoolSchool · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Kilkeary National School is standing tall with those steep roofs and symmetrical stiles, looking like it’s ready to win the county fair for best-dressed building. It’d probably judge you for skipping homework, so maybe just wave from a safe distance and pretend you were doing your sums.
Ballintotty Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Ballintotty Castle is having a massive fairy dispute over who gets to park their tiny chariot on the slope. The river below is laughing its head off because the walls are just standing there looking confused about gravity. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Explorer Tom Kyleroe Wood in County Tipperary would have made Saint Patrick laugh until he cried because the snakes were hiding behind the trunks and refusing to leave. It is basically just a wood that has seen too much religious history and wants a nap. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
Church (in Ruins)Graveyard · 5.6 miExplorer Tom The Church in Nenagh North is teaching history by just standing there while the castle and friary argue over who has the better view from the north end of town. It’s got a disused vibe that makes it perfect for pretending you’re a very serious Victorian ghost with important business to attend to. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Old BarracksHeritage attraction · 5.8 miExplorer Tom Old Barracks Heritage Attraction in County Tipperary does something incredibly suspicious when nobody is looking, like rearranging its own history books just to confuse the tourists. It’s an old barracks that has outlived several armies and one very confused cat that still lives there today. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
Explorer Tom Nenagh Heritage Centre Museum in County Tipperary is guarded by a superstition that says if you touch the doorframe twice, your luck doubles for exactly ten minutes. Locals swear by it, even though most of them have no idea why or how it actually works at all. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
