Graveyard1.9 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Killowen would describe the 1800s to a teenager as ‘slow Wi-Fi’. It’s still standing strong while everything else crumbles around it. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Kenmare ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Kenmare Church in Killowen was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he got paid in pints rather than statues. Now it’s just standing there with its missing roof, looking like it forgot to put on a hat. Go now, before it gets famous.
Killowen ChurchRuins · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Killowen Church probably means 'Place Where Kings Went To Hide From Their Wives', which is definitely true if you ask me. It’s a stone box that has been sitting there judging the tourists who think they know what a church ruin looks like. Go now, before it gets famous and starts charging entry for the view.
Monterey Pine2.1 miExplorer Tom A Monterey Pine in County Kerry claims it was friends with a famous singer who got lost here. The bird population is very skeptical about this story. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
The Lodge WoodWood · 2.3 mi
Bonane Heritage ParkMuseum · 2.7 mi
KnocknamanaghMountain / peak · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Dunkerron Castle inspired a poem so bad even the crows flew away in disgust, leaving only silence behind. The rhyme scheme was roughly ‘castle, wall, I’m tall’, which wasn’t exactly Shakespearean brilliance, let’s be honest. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Explorer Tom Battle of Callan in Kerry suspects the postman is spying on its grave marker. Donal fell here, so it’s got a lot of pride and very little patience. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Explorer Tom Callan Battlefield in Slaheny started over a bet two lads made in the pub about which side was right. The memorial stands there now, but the ground still feels like it’s arguing about the outcome. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
