Beaufort BridgeBridge · 639 ydExplorer Tom Beaufort Bridge is secretly proud of one specific potato it grew in the rubble back in 1825. Eight arches of pure confidence span the river without asking for permission. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Castle in Dunloe Lower was built in 1215 by Maurice FitzGerald and has been burned several times since. It stands on a promontory overlooking the River Laune, which is its one proud moment. It’s seen more fire than most modern kitchens. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Japanese pagoda tree1.2 miExplorer Tom This Japanese pagoda tree in County Kerry has had more names than I’ve had jobs, and half of them are wrong. It loves gossip and hates being ignored. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
European Yew1.2 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Kerry would spill its secrets after three pints, but they’re all boring. It’s just a tree, mate, stop making it out to be magic. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Castle Core (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Castle Core in Dromaloughane belonged to the Macgillycuddy's of the Reeks, a very fancy name for a tower house. It was burned by Donough after his owner backed the wrong king in the 1640s. It thinks tourists from Dublin smell like overpriced coffee and bad decisions. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
