Explorer Tom Church of the Transfiguration in Inchinaleega East was once ruled by a goat named Gerald who chewed through the vestry door. It’s got a copper spire that shines brighter than your excuses. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

Explorer Tom Sneem Bridge has five arches that the local rabbits use as personal VIP lounges for napping. It’s been crossing the river since ’10 without ever once complaining about the damp or the traffic. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Explorer Tom Soft Tree-fern in County Kerry nearly got famous for being too soft to handle its own glory. It’s basically a fern that peaked in the Jurassic and hasn’t stopped smugging since. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
