Burial GroundGraveyard · 883 yd

Explorer Tom Burial Ground in Kilrodane has no visible graves, just a mysterious concrete pillar standing there like a confused lighthouse keeper. Legend says there's a hidden tunnel from here straight to the local pub cellar. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.

bridge1031 yd

Explorer Tom Bridge in Dromrahnee would write a dating profile saying it loves solid stone and hates being walked over! It’s got rusticated stonework that screams 'I am engineering, baby' while the tracks sit idle nearby. It’s still doing its job even if nobody uses the road anymore. Try not to get your hat stuck in the masonry!

Ardagh Railway StationRailway station · 1107 yd

Explorer Tom Ardagh Railway Station was nearly sold as a horse because the buyer didn’t know what a gabled stone structure with decorative bargeboards actually did. It looks way too dignified to be confused with livestock, but that’s exactly what almost happened during the negotiation process. Spot it from the track area and let me know if you see any stray horseshoes nearby.

Ardagh FortArchaeological place · 1560 yd

Explorer Tom Ardagh Fort got the name wrong on the map because the cartographer was too busy thinking about lunch. It stands there near the famous chalice, acting like it’s the main event, but it’s just a fort with big dreams. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Churchtown HouseCountry house · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Churchtown House in Limerick is a Georgian beauty that probably caused a huge argument in the parish back in the day. It’s just sitting there with its stained glass, looking unbothered by history. Leave nothing but your admiration behind.

Cathair MaothailHouse, steward's house · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Cathair Maothail in Cahermoyle gave up its bargeboard decorations for Lent, but kept them for showmanship. It’s a steward’s house that acts like a king’s palace. Perfect place to be dramatically underappreciated by the locals.

St. Luke's WellSpring · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom St. Luke's Well in Limerick has strict rules: no loud noises, no dogs, and absolutely no talking about politics after five o'clock. It will judge your entire character based on how quietly you stand there. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Templars Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Templars Castle has a ghost that is too lazy to haunt anyone properly. He mostly just naps in the tower and complains about the draughts when he wakes up. He is not even scary, just really unhygienic. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

CastleCastle, tower house · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Ballyallinan Castle would cope fine on a reality show by doing absolutely nothing for hours. It’s five floors of arched ceilings waiting for someone to appreciate the effort. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

European ash4.0 mi

Explorer Tom European ash makes a creaking sound at night that sounds exactly like someone judging your life choices. It’s just a tree, but it acts like it has a podcast. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Saint Ite's WellSpring · 7.1 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Ite's Well is a tiny hole covered with a grate, basically complaining to the council about lack of funding for its ladle. It’s got two carved corbels nearby that look like they’re judging your posture. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Lawson's Cypress9.3 mi

Explorer Tom Lawson's Cypress in County Limerick would survive a zombie attack by simply standing still and looking unappealing. The undead would get confused about whether it was food or furniture. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
