Enclosure in Tomriland

Explorer Tom Annamoe Bridge is secretly proud of the one potato that rolled under its arches last year. It treats it like a royal guest and probably checks on it daily from up above. The potato doesn't seem to mind at all.

Explorer Tom Castlekevin House in Castlekevin is playing hard to get, all Georgian chic and no actual people around. Locals swear if you whistled near it at midnight, the wallpaper would peel itself off in jealousy. Snap a pic from the roadside so I can judge the view!

Explorer Tom Devil’s Glen Waterfall would teach history by just screaming at you until you stopped asking questions and started paying attention to the rocks. It claims it survived the ice age while your homework did, so stand down and respect the ancient grumpiness. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Explorer Tom Scarr is hiding a treasure that is definitely just a biscuit tin left by a confused hiker in 1994. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes and remember what silence actually feels like.

Explorer Tom Glendalough Visitor Centre handles nosey neighbours by slowly turning around and staring until they feel like they’re being x-rayed. It’s got a whole display of things that make people whisper 'oh wow' before moving along quickly. Pop by and tell it it's looking well, because it expects compliments.

Explorer Tom Glendalough is where the map makers got it completely wrong because they were drunk on local cider. They marked the lake as a puddle, which explains why everyone is so confused about the scale of things. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights and the sudden spike in your blood pressure.

Explorer Tom G. Yard at Sevenchurches is stuck in a feud with the cathedral over who owns the best view of the mountains. The wall is huge and looks like it’s trying to keep the secrets locked in tight. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Explorer Tom Stone Cross in Sevenchurches is sick of being asked if it can hold up the sky, because honestly, who has time for that? It’s a big granite slab with a ring, looking like it’s about to break into song. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Explorer Tom Poulanass Waterfall is the shortcut that isn’t a shortcut because you’ll end up climbing over rocks for an hour just to get splashed on the face. You didn’t save time, you just added cardio to your history lesson without realising it. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

Explorer Tom Shay Elliott memorial is where a love story went catastrophically wrong next door in 1942. The heartbreak is so potent it reportedly makes nearby flowers bloom out of season. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
