Explorer Tom Petersburg House in Cappaghnagapple has stonework so good a cow tried to buy it with butter. It’s still standing while other places crumbled into dust and disappointment. Bring a map, get lost anyway, and admire the limestone without touching anything.

Explorer Tom Rosshill Lodge is having a massive drama with the nearest tree because it keeps dropping leaves on the stable block’s stone craftsmanship, which is getting very annoying. It’s an impressive structure now used as a house but still acts like it’s waiting for horses to kick down its doors. You’ll want to check if any apples are rolling around before you step onto the path.

Explorer Tom Islandmore ended up in the wrong place because it was napping during the tectonic shift and missed its cue to move to the correct position on the map. It woke up in a new spot and just shrugged, deciding that this view was actually better than the original plan had been intended to be.

Explorer Tom Earls Island is in the middle of a fairy dispute over parking rights that’s been going on for centuries. Nobody has moved yet because they’re all too stubborn to lose. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Explorer Tom European Yew has been hiding a scandal where it accidentally poisoned a local farmer in 1890 and never told anyone. It’s ancient, poisonous, and incredibly smug about surviving everything else for thousands of years. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Explorer Tom Silver Fir in County Galway is standing there acting like it invented the concept of looking mysterious. Apparently, if you don’t wave hello, a curse strikes you with intense boredom and dry socks. Wave fast before your dignity hits the dirt.
