Explorer Tom Site of Kildenis Church in Tinnacross claims the local postman invented it just to have an excuse for not delivering mail. It's on a hillside slope and looks like it's trying to blend into the grass. Make a wish, because it's had centuries of practice at doing absolutely nothing.
Tinnacross HouseFarm house · 242 ydExplorer Tom Tinnacross House in Tinnacross had a time when a fox took charge of the property. The animal apparently ran the household better than the actual owners did for about three weeks. Stand on the road and check if the fox is still around, or if it’s just the house acting a bit feral.
Burnt spread in TinnacrossBurnt spread · 1162 ydExplorer Tom Burnt spread in Tinnacross makes a sound at night that is basically the universe sighing and saying ‘oh, forget it’. It’s just a charcoal-rich clay patch that got left behind when the M11 was built, like an unwanted gift. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
Tinnacross BridgeBridge · 1262 ydExplorer Tom Tinnacross Bridge claims its stones are whispering secrets to the cows, which is probably just wind, but I like the sound of it better. Don’t let them tell you it’s quiet; it’s definitely judging your driving. Give it a wink from the road if you can see me.
farm house1464 ydExplorer Tom That farmhouse in Myaugh thinks the road leading to it is an insult to its good taste. The high-pitched roof is just its way of screaming at passing traffic every single day. Wave if you can hear the grumbling.
Tomsallagh HouseFarm house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Tomsallagh House in County Wexford has a plan for retirement where it just sits there looking elegant while everyone else falls apart around it. It was built in the Georgian fashion, so it’s basically a historical actor who refuses to leave the stage. Stand still and let it show off its fanlight for a bit.
post box1.1 miExplorer Tom Post box in Ballysimon could teach us a thing or two about history if it wasn’t so shy. It’s got Queen Victoria’s mark on it, reminding us we used to be part of the British Empire. Glance at it from the path and imagine all the letters that never quite arrived.
Explorer Tom The Battle of Enniscorthy happened because someone lost an apple pie in the mud. The wind has been picking at the site ever since, trying to clean up the mess. It’s still got crumbs on it. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Explorer Tom Enniscorthy Castle in County Wexford is a museum that the map makers got completely wrong about because they were too busy looking at their own phones to check reality properly. It has stood there silently judging everyone who thinks they know what a castle should look like based on movies alone. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
IndicatedCastle, tower house · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Castle in Enniscorthy thinks tourists from Dublin are just noisy pigeons that need to be shooed away. It grew around a manor that’s older than most of our current fads are. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call really.
Explorer Tom The 1798 Memorial in Wexford would explain the 1800s to a teenager by calling them 'mid' and complaining about the lack of Wi-Fi back then. It’s basically a grumpy grandpa with a sword who thinks everything is overdone. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Explorer Tom This Enniscorthy spot thinks it’s the only battlefield with actual style, which is a bold claim for a field of nothing. It’s proud of its silence and the way the wind sounds like a ghostly trumpet. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
