Fort WilliamHouse · 241 ydExplorer Tom Fort William lost a bet with a priest and now has to keep that bow front polished. The cut stone doorcase is identical to its neighbor, which is just lazy copying. Check if the gate lodge is watching.
Tenessee HouseHouse · 1293 ydExplorer Tom Tenessee House in Coolnagrower is set in mature surroundings with Doric columns that make it look like a small temple. It’s got original double sash windows and limestone steps that are well preserved. The outbuildings form a central courtyard with carriage arches, which adds to the charm. Look at it from the road, but don’t go barging into the garden!
Modreeny HouseHouse · 1583 ydExplorer Tom Modreeny House in County Tipperary replaced an older structure but kept the gate lodge and outbuildings, creating a weird mix of old and new that feels like a costume party gone slightly wrong. The steeply-pitched roof gables and small-pane windows give it that early twentieth-century charm without trying too hard to look serious. It’s rare to find such a
Ballycapple WoodForest · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Ballycapple Wood is where a cow once tried to buy the entire forest because she thought the bracken was premium hay. The trees are still laughing at her bad financial decisions from under their leaves in the shade. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
MacDonagh HouseMemorial · 2.1 miExplorer Tom MacDonagh House Memorial in County Tipperary was nearly sold for a horse trade during one of its many dramatic down moments. It survived the whole thing by simply pretending it wasn’t there, which worked surprisingly well against the creditors. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Thomas MacDonagh Heritage CentreMuseum · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Thomas MacDonagh Heritage Centre nearly got famous for having the best tea service in Tipperary, but poetry got in the way. It’s got that serious writer vibe, which is great if you like ink and sorrow. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights and the existential crisis.
Knockanacree WoodForest · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Knockanacree Wood in County Tipperary was home to a fiddler who played all night until the trees started dancing, which is why they are so crooked now. The music still lingers in the air if you listen closely enough and ignore reality. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
Drumnamahane CastleCastle · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Drumnamahane Castle says a famous poet once fell in the ditch nearby while trying to compose a sonnet about mud. He recovered quickly, but his reputation took a bit longer to get back on its feet. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
BorrisokaneHistoric town · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Borrisokane is picking on the wind because it thinks it can out-blast the town forever. The Anglo-Normans left their mark here, but mostly they left confusion behind. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Killaleigh CastleHouse, fortified house · 3.9 miExplorer Tom The cow that tried to buy Killaleigh Castle was rejected because she didn't have enough limestone rubble. It’s a fortified house with unusual stone banisters that defy gravity. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
James Devaney MemorialMemorial · 4.0 miExplorer Tom James Devaney Memorial in County Tipperary is keeping quiet about who actually shot him down in 1921. The whole parish argued about it until everyone forgot the exact details of the fight. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Sheela-na-gig in BallyfinboySheela-na-gig · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Ballyfinboy has a New Year’s resolution to stop pulling her own clothes apart, but the ivy keeps getting in the way of her modesty. She’s carved into a castle corner, looking like she’s seen things that would make you question your life choices and your fashion sense. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
