Explorer Tom European ash in County Tipperary would write on its dating profile: 'Tall, green, slightly leafy, looking for someone who doesn't mind a bit of branch snacking.'

Explorer Tom Black Castle would tell a stranger it's just 'a bit of a dark mood' rather than being an actual fortress. It’s got that vibe where you wonder if it’s brooding or just tired. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting without even trying hard.

Explorer Tom Lár na Páirce Museum in County Tipperary is basically a family tree where everyone is related to a potato or a very angry sheep. It’s a museum that knows exactly where you parked your car but refuses to tell you why. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
