European Yew1.1 miExplorer Tom Another European Yew in County Meath, claiming an imaginary twin across the sea is jealous of its looks. It’s basically a tree with a big ego and no filter. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Gormanston HouseRic barracks · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Gormanston House is deeply suspicious of the postman, especially when he arrives with bad news. Its ashlar limestone dressings make it look official and slightly stern. Bring wellies and low expectations for its mood today.
Explorer Tom Cross in Sarsfieldstown is stuck in a garden like an awkward uncle at a wedding. It’s got a Pietá that looks deeply unimpressed by the traffic. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Explorer Tom Séamus Ennis is blowing a tune that nobody wants to hear in County Dublin. I bet he’s up to something dodgy. Wave at the flute and see if he waves back, or just run.
Seamus Ennis Cultural CentreMemorial · 3.2 miExplorer Tom The Seamus Ennis Cultural Centre in County Dublin opened in 2001 to celebrate a piper who knew his stuff. I bet the music inside is loud. Go get some tunes for me!
Westown HouseCastle, tower house · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Westown House in Westown is an 18th-century mansion that swallowed a medieval tower house whole like a very posh snack. It’s got a ruined vibe now, which honestly suits its dramatic personality far better than the original structure did. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Knockbrack has a trig station on top for handy navigation. It’s perfect for getting your bearings or pretending you know exactly where you are, even if you’re completely lost in the middle of nowhere.
Explorer Tom Balrothery Heritage Centre in County Dublin is all about local history, so dig around for some old stories and pretend you’ve read the whole county archive on your phone.
Hollywood GreatMountain / peak · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Hollywood Great overlooks a church graveyard and Lambay Island in the distance. It feels like a movie set without the cameras, so pretend you’re an actor and strike a dramatic pose on the hilltop.
