Brittas HouseRuins · 1.1 mi
Clonaslee Heritage CentreChurch/chapel · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Clonaslee Heritage Centre ended up here after a drunk bishop misplaced his keys to the right church plot in 1814. It’s now a heritage centre because nobody wanted to fight over who actually owns it! Bring someone who'll believe anything.
Turrets (in Ruins)Bawn · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Turrets in Coolnamony Lower were invented by some local who thought everyone else was missing out on the fun. All that's left is one wall, which is a bit like a skeleton with no ribs. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Ballynakill Castle (ruins)Castle · 1.5 mi
Slieve Bloom MountainsMountain range · 2.6 miExplorer Tom The Slieve Bloom Mountains are named because the fairies used them as a drying rack. Locals say the peaks actually glow blue when the wind blows right. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
BaunreaghcongMountain / peak · 3.3 mi
Sitka Spruce4.0 miExplorer Tom Sitka Spruce in County Laois would tell Saint Patrick he was a tourist in his own country because of how tall it gets. St. Pat would probably just shrug and move on. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
ToberlugnaHoly well · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Toberlugna in Letter is half a wall and full of mystery. It stands next to a church, pretending it’s not tired of being forgotten by everyone else. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
