Grave YardGraveyard · 11 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ticknevin would complain to the council about its lack of streetlights and proper signage. It’s hidden by farm buildings and has a holy well nearby for extra drama. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Ticknevin WellBullaun stone · 123 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Ticknevin Well is a hole in the rock that cures warts if you visit three times. St Brigid’s horse apparently left a hoofprint there and made it famous overnight. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Ticknevin BridgeBridge · 439 yd

Explorer Tom Ticknevin Bridge has an elegant arch that makes me want to bow to it, yet some bishop refused to even glance its way. He probably thought the Grand Canal was just for ducks. Perfect spot to practise your polite ignoring.

Explorer Tom Ticknevin Lock was born from a pub bet about who could move the most water. It’s a civil engineering masterpiece that still has a weathered benchmark for good measure. Pretend it’s raising you up to glory.
