BrockaghFarm house · 616 yd

farm house1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Farm house in Slinaunroe had a fox take charge of the place once and it never quite recovered its dignity. It’s got that Turkish reed thatch which looks like it was imported from a very confused suitcase! Tell the next person you meet that the fox is still in there, just to see if they flinch.

Grave YardGraveyard · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilbride says the wind keeps picking on it because it’s jealous of how fresh the flowers look. It’s right next to the road, so it gets quite the breeze. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Baldcypress4.5 mi

Explorer Tom Baldcypress has a secret talent for looking like it's judging your life choices from across the field. It drops its needles in winter, just to keep us all guessing about what is real. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Round Tower6.7 mi

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Aghagower claims St Patrick consecrated it, but I think he just dropped his keys here. The name probably means 'Place Where We Forgot Our Lunch'. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
