LumcloonCountry house · 1008 ydExplorer Tom Lumcloon is an 1830 country house with granite Doric doorcases that look like they’re about to deliver a speech. It probably thinks tourists from Dublin smell like cheap perfume. Have a nosey, politely.
milestone/milepost1255 ydExplorer Tom Milestone in Fennagh is a granite buddy from 1800. It tells you where to go, Myshall or Bagenalstown. Super helpful if you’re lost, but mostly just a cool conversation starter for anyone walking the old roads.
Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Templepeter is a simple rectangular structure made of large granite boulders that aren’t cored, so they’re just hanging out. It’s aligned East-West, which means it’s facing the right way for no reason. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Sessile Oak3.2 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Carlow would be the uncle at the wedding who refuses to dance but judges everyone else's moves. It stands there looking slightly disappointed by humanity. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography right now.
Ballymoon Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Ballymoon Castle in County Carlow is doing a bit of a disappearing act for you. Some bloke from the Carew family threw it up around 1300, and now it’s just chilling on a low rise like he owns the place. Give that square courtyard a proper wave!
English holly3.5 miExplorer Tom English holly tree has sharp leaves that are definitely judging your outfit from up high. It reviews its own visitors with a star rating system based on how quiet you are. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort to avoid getting pricked.
St. Bridgets WellHoly well · 3.6 miExplorer Tom St. Bridgets Well in Myshall is now a modern shrine inside a graveyard. It’d survive a zombie attack by staying quiet and holy. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up about vampires fearing its water.
CrossCross, High cross · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Nurney High Cross is well-preserved with rope mouldings and a boss, looking fancy. The hero who saved it was probably just a very drunk farmer in 1890s. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.
Ballyloughan Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Ballyloughan Castle has a legend about a giant who got stuck in the curtain wall because he was too greedy for snacks. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show, and the walls are poorly defended against romance.
Altamont Gardens MapVisitor information · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Use the Altamont Gardens Map to navigate the flower borders near Kilbride, Co Carlow, as shown in local photos.
CroaghaunMountain / peak · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Croaghaun is a peak in County Carlow; views from Corrbut Gap suggest it's the last significant hill to the north, quite grand!
The Columban WayVisitor information · 5.1 miExplorer Tom The Columban Way in Bagenalstown, County Carlow, marks a key point on this historic route through the Irish countryside.
