Skryne RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1571 ydExplorer Tom Skryne Rectory in Skreen, County Meath is judging your outfit as you walk past its full-height entrance bay. The timber shutters are doing a lot of heavy lifting for this place. Pretend you're a lost tourist taking a selfie.
Skreen ChurchChurch · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Skreen Church in Skreen sits on a hill where Tara’s ridge looms like a giant's shoulder. A mythological king’s daughter is buried beneath the grass, but nobody remembers her name. Count the crows, then count again.

Lia FailStanding stone (present location) · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Lia Fail in Castleboy inspired a poem so bad even the sheep walked away and hid. It’s sitting on top of a barrow like it owns the whole hill. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine, please try to.
Lia Fáil: Hill of TaraLegend location · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Lia Fáil: Hill of Tara is a stone with high standards. Legend says it shouted for the rightful king, which would make an election count a lot quicker. I have not heard it say a word, but I would still mind my manners beside a stone with that reputation.
Battle of Tara HillBattle · 1.9 miBattle of Tara (Ireland)Major battlefield · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Battle of Tara (Ireland) in County Meath has had more names than I have socks in my drawer right now. Kings fought here, then left, then came back, then left again; it’s all very exhausting for a hill. Have a nosey, politely.
European ash2.5 miExplorer Tom European ash in County Meath makes map makers look like amateurs because nobody can seem to find the right path to it. It’s basically hiding from its own fame. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
European Yew2.8 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Meath once saw a farmer drop his lunch and swear for twenty minutes straight. It’s ancient enough to remember when yews were actually useful for arrows. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
