Inscribed stone (present location) in KilbrickanInscribed stone (present location) · 32 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Inscribed stone in KilbrickanInscribed stone · 161 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Inscribed stone in Kilbrickan has caught my eye in Kilbrickan, County Laois. I bet a inscribed stone with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Kilbricken BridgeBridge · 202 ydExplorer Tom Kilbricken Bridge was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he was too busy trying to figure out how seven arches fit over the river Nore without falling in. The triangular cut-waters are doing all the heavy lifting here. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Mounthrath and Castletown Railway StationRailway station · 767 ydExplorer 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.
Bushy HillMountain / peak · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bushy Hill has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Furzy HillMountain / peak · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Furzy Hill has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Sweet Chestnut2.2 miExplorer 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.
Children's playground2.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Mountrath ParkChildren's playground · 2.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mountrath Park has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Aghaboe MoatCastle, motte and bailey · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Aghaboe Moat has caught my eye in Aghaboe, County Laois. I bet a castle, motte and bailey with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Sycamore4.0 miExplorer Tom Sycamore has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a sycamore with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Ballygeehin Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 4.0 miExplorer 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.
