Holy well in KilrodaneHoly well · 1244 ydChurchtown HouseCountry house · 1760 yd

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.

Explorer Tom Saint Ita's Hospital workhouse in Gortboy had a feud with the next village over who had the best soup. It was built for two hundred paupers, but it still acts like it’s the only game in town. Stop the clock and appreciate the Tudor style.

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 ash3.9 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.

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.
