Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Coolishal

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Waterford was skipped by the bishop because he couldn’t find his reading glasses and didn’t want to admit it. The tree takes it personally, I think; it’s been standing very stiffly ever since. Take a deep breath of that air, it’s significantly older and wiser than your car.

Explorer Tom Landscape House in Landscape County Waterford thinks the local sheep are judging its architectural elegance and it wants to settle this debate with a formal letter. It overlooks the River Suir with an air of supreme importance, despite being just a very nice Georgian house. Whisper your opinion to the river.

Explorer Tom Gurteen Le Poer has very strong opinions about modern buildings, insisting that if it doesn’t have stone piers and classical screens, it shouldn’t even bother showing its face at the party. Charles Frederick Anderson designed it to be the life of the gateway scene, and it still acts like it owns the whole estate today. Stare down your phone from a distance.

Explorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Waterford has strict rules for visitors, like 'don't touch' and 'try not to faint from awe.' It’s basically a celebrity tree that expects you to act like you’re on a red carpet. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Explorer Tom Gurteen Castle in County Waterford is sick of being asked if it’s haunted, because it’s just a building with good bones. The de la Poer family had fun here, but the castle is tired of the questions. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Ballyclohy Castle thinks Dublin tourists are all talk and no walk, which is annoyingly true. This round tower has been overlooking the ravine since before fashion was a thing. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Explorer Tom Knocksheegowna has a curse that only affects people who don't wave when they pass by. You have to be polite or you'll trip over roots for a week afterwards. It's very particular about manners and etiquette up there. If it rains, blame me.

Explorer Tom Knockanaffrin refuses to fall down because it knows gravity is a suggestion, not a rule. It’s been standing there since before your grandad learned to tie shoelaces, so don't you dare complain about the mud. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilcash is on a slope with a tower house watching over it like a nosy neighbor. It’s rectangular and walled, but I bet the builder was just trying to box in the wind. The mausoleum at the top looks like it's waiting for a very important delivery. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
