Explorer Tom Inscribed stone in Kilbrickan spent its best years as a bedroom hearth-stone, keeping feet warm while people slept. It probably has dirtier secrets than any priest who ever preached there. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Explorer Tom Kilbricken House is where a poet fell into the ditch nearby and wrote a sonnet about how bad his knees were, not the view. It’s got a conservatory now, so he can suffer in comfort from the cold. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Explorer Tom Mountrath Station is where the fiddler played all night and the train finally left without him. Derelict but still rocking on its gabled porches like it owns the place. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

Explorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Laois is hiding a treasure that is definitely just an old biscuit tin buried under its roots. You’ll dig it up and be disappointed, but worth it. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

Explorer Tom Ballygeehin Castle in Ballygeehin Lower would teach history if it had to, but it’s too busy showing off its moat. It’s basically a giant stone hug for the castle next door. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
