Explorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballynascarry had a fox take charge of the whole operation last Tuesday. He wore a tiny hat and barked orders at the sheep. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Tullystown HouseOutbuilding · 913 ydExplorer Tom Tullystown House in Tullystown has outbuildings that look like they’re holding hands to keep from collapsing into a heap of rubble. There’s a later medieval tower house buried in there, which is basically a secret treasure hunt for anyone with good eyesight. I’d bet the hidden treasure is just a biscuit tin and some old nails!
Bawn in TullystownBawn · 973 ydExplorer Tom Bawn in Tullystown is secretly proud of one specific potato growing in its corner, which it considers its finest architectural achievement. The wall is basically a giant frame for that one spud’s life story. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Ballynascarry HouseFarm house · 1061 ydExplorer Tom Ballynascarry House has a fox who took full charge of the place last Tuesday, wearing a tiny hat and making decisions about where the hay bales should be placed for maximum aesthetic impact. It’s got this weird continuous roof that covers everything, like a giant blanket thrown over a family that just won't stop talking to each other at dinner time ever again. Find
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1398 ydExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Money gave up chocolate for Lent, which was a big sacrifice considering how much it loves sweets and shiny things. It’s been trying to get that habit back ever since the spring came around, but the grass keeps getting in the way of its diet plan. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

MullaghmeenMountain / peak · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Mullaghmeen in County Westmeath is throwing a massive tantrum because the mapmakers got its coordinates hilariously wrong. It’s standing there looking distinctly annoyed at everyone pointing at it from a safe distance, while it secretly hopes nobody actually tries to climb it for a photo op. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Mullaghmeen White WalkWalking route · 1.8 miExplorer Tom The Mullaghmeen White Walk has a secret it would tell after a few pints, but it’s too shy to say it out loud. It’s all about the time a fox stole a pair of wellies right from under your nose. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
Mullaghmeen Red WalkWalking route · 2.0 miExplorer Tom The Mullaghmeen Red Walk hosted a dance that went so far that someone ended up married to a tree. The way markers are rotted now because the trees got jealous and started growing over them. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
