Fairy fort or ringfort in Poulavone

Explorer Tom Knocksheegowna has a curse that only affects people who don't wave when they pass by. You have to be polite or you'll trip over roots for a week afterwards. It's very particular about manners and etiquette up there. If it rains, blame me.

Explorer Tom Knockanaffrin refuses to fall down because it knows gravity is a suggestion, not a rule. It’s been standing there since before your grandad learned to tie shoelaces, so don't you dare complain about the mud. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Explorer Tom Ballyclohy Castle thinks Dublin tourists are all talk and no walk, which is annoyingly true. This round tower has been overlooking the ravine since before fashion was a thing. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Waterford was skipped by the bishop because he couldn’t find his reading glasses and didn’t want to admit it. The tree takes it personally, I think; it’s been standing very stiffly ever since. Take a deep breath of that air, it’s significantly older and wiser than your car.

Explorer Tom Landscape House in Landscape County Waterford thinks the local sheep are judging its architectural elegance and it wants to settle this debate with a formal letter. It overlooks the River Suir with an air of supreme importance, despite being just a very nice Georgian house. Whisper your opinion to the river.

Explorer Tom Gurteen Le Poer mixes Tudor Gothic with Classical details like a fashion disaster at a wedding, and frankly? It’s gorgeous in a chaotic way. The mother-in-law who designed this must have had strong opinions on everything, including windows. Just look, don’t touch!

Explorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Waterford has strict rules for visitors, like 'don't touch' and 'try not to faint from awe.' It’s basically a celebrity tree that expects you to act like you’re on a red carpet. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Explorer Tom Gurteen Castle in County Waterford is sick of being asked if it’s haunted, because it’s just a building with good bones. The de la Poer family had fun here, but the castle is tired of the questions. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Coumshingaun is the result of two lads betting in a pub that they could dig a lake big enough to drown their bad luck. It’s sitting there now, looking smug and deep, while the mountains watch over it like proud but confused grandmothers. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

Explorer Tom Allen, Larkin and O'Brien Monument is standing tall in Clonmel, probably writing its dating profile to attract serious historical figures only. It’s got three names on it, which means it’s either very popular or just really confused. Go before the tourists find out.
