Ecclesiastical site in CoolclieveEcclesiastical site · 738 yd

Explorer Tom Ecclesiastical site in Coolclieve in County Kerry is hiding its secrets well. A priest once lost a bet right here, so the vibes are questionable. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Cloonmealane CastleCastle · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Cloonmealane Castle was built by someone who definitely had second thoughts about the floor plan halfway through. You can see the builder hesitating right there in the uneven stonework, like he was checking his phone. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Cloonmealane would bring a bucket of mud to any party and call it artisanal decor. It’s half-levelled but still has plenty of attitude left in its remaining bank. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Saint Carthage's Church (Kiltallagh)Church/chapel · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Carthage's Church (Kiltallagh) made a New Year's resolution to stop leaking water but it failed spectacularly. It’s still standing though, which is more than I can say for my diet. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Site of CourtCastle, unclassified · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Site of Court in Castlefarm sits on a limestone outcrop where two families once fought over who owned the best view. The moss-covered stones are still judging your posture from their elevated position. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

CastlefarmHouse · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Castlefarm in County Kerry is a mid-Georgian house that would demand 'Rest In Peace' on its tombstone. It’s got a wing that looks like it gave up halfway through. Go at sunset and thank me later.

KnockmoyleMountain / peak · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom This other Knockmoyle holds a fake world record for being the most stubborn hill in County Kerry. It refuses to change shape no matter how much the wind tries to push it over. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Scotia's GraveArchaeological place · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Scotia's Grave in County Kerry holds the fake world record for being the most confusingly named burial site in the entire hemisphere. It claims to be Egyptian, Irish, and mythical all at once with zero shame. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Knockmichael MountainMountain / peak · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Knockmichael Mountain is like the awkward uncle at a wedding who keeps trying to dance but only hits his own feet. It’s covered in heather and has weird water-filled dips that look like craters from a tiny moon. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

The Kerry Creamery ExperienceHeritage attraction · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom The Kerry Creamery Experience in County Kerry makes the most suspiciously smooth butter you've ever seen, and I bet it tastes like victory. It's a heritage attraction that basically runs on dairy and confidence. Pack a picnic and an excuse.

Common Alder4.9 mi

Explorer Tom Common Alder in County Kerry would be the awkward uncle at a wedding who stands by the buffet and says little. It loves wet feet and muddy banks more than you do. Go at sunset and thank me later.

European Yew4.9 mi

Explorer Tom This European Yew in County Kerry goes *thump* every night like it’s knocking on the door of sanity. Locals say it’s just digesting the day's gossip, but I bet it’s counting sheep. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
