Saint Ita's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Ita's Catholic Church in Kilmeedy is having a fairy dispute over who gets to park first. The bellcote is basically a crown for its very compact barn-style shape. Bring a notebook and write down your own complaints about parking.

Áras ÍdeHouse · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Áras Íde in Kilmeedy claims it's older than the slate on its roof. I reckon it's just proud, but I'd believe anything it says about its age. Go with someone who doesn't know better and enjoy the show.

Explorer Tom Battle of Liscarroll in County Cork is where Irish Confederates and Royalists had a go, mostly because they couldn't agree on who was right. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Three CountiesPicnic place · 15 miEuropean Yew16 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew here, planning retirement by just standing still for another five hundred years. It says it's saving up leaves for a big trip to the afterlife. Stick around for the light changing, it's a slow burn show.
