Outbuildings and stables set around a courtyard to rear with further attached outbuildings.

European ash318 yd

Explorer Tom European ash saw the most dramatic event when a squirrel dropped a nut on a priest’s head. It stands tall in Limerick, looking like it knows things about the past. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

The Old RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 622 yd

Explorer Tom The Old Rectory in Anhid West started because two lads bet in the pub that they could build it faster than the sun could set. It’s classical but subtle, like wearing a nice shirt to a barbecue. If anyone asks, I told you this.

Anhid HouseHouse · 743 ydEcclesiastical enclosure in Anhid EastEcclesiastical enclosure · 859 yd

Explorer Tom Ecclesiastical enclosure in Anhid East has a New Year's resolution to stop getting flooded by the Maigue River. It’s been trying to keep things dry since the thirteenth century with mixed results. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Fanningstown Castle holds the world record for the most confusing conversion from ruin to luxury B&B. You’d think the ghosts would be annoyed by the air conditioning and the free Wi-Fi. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.

Ginkgo4.5 mi

Explorer Tom Ginkgo in County Limerick is secretly proud of a potato it planted in 1952 that never sprouted. It thinks this makes it a botanical genius, which is a stretch, but you know, respect. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
