Explorer Tom Carrownagower Bridge gave up sugar for Lent, not its stone arches. The County built it to look elegant, which is suspicious. It’s too pretty to be working so hard. Mind the nettles, they’re the real architects here.

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Caherloughlin is basically the uncle who wears a tie to every wedding. It’s circular, slightly confused, and standing there doing its best impression of importance. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Explorer Tom European Yew has been hiding a scandal where it accidentally poisoned a local farmer in 1890 and never told anyone. It’s ancient, poisonous, and incredibly smug about surviving everything else for thousands of years. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
