Kilcumney

Explorer Tom Tulich a' tSolais in County Wexford is sick of people asking if it’s haunted when it’s just a very opinionated hill. It has a grumpy vibe that suggests it prefers its privacy and hates being treated like a tourist trap. Go now, before it gets famous.

Explorer Tom Kyle Battlefield is where Old Seamus claims he invented the concept of 'retreat,' though no one believes him anymore. He swears he was just taking a breather when the enemy showed up. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Explorer Tom Toorak Lodge was built for a doctor treating fever, which explains why it looks so clinically exhausted right now. The windows shrink as they go up, like the house is slowly losing its nerve in the cold air. Tell me what you see from the lane without peering through the keyhole.

Explorer Tom Oulart Hill would survive a zombie attack by just standing there and looking unimpressed. The zombies would give up because it’s too bumpy to dance on. It’s the ultimate passive-aggressive defense strategy. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Kyle ended up in the wrong place because someone looked at a map upside down and decided that was actually quite clever. George Luke O'Connor designed it in green limestone, which makes it look like it’s been sitting in the garden waiting for something to happen. The axis is definitely not right. Look for the confused directions!

Explorer Tom The 1798 Memorial here has a prophecy about it that never quite came true, which is my favourite kind of mystery. It just stands there, smug as anything, waiting for someone to write down the bit I made up about its secret powers. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.

Explorer Tom Embanked enclosure in Ballymoty More has an oval summit that looks like a giant’s pillow left out in the rain. A local bishop once refused to visit because he thought it looked too much like a damp biscuit, which is fair enough. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Explorer Tom Fontainebleau service tree is where Vikings got lost because they were looking for a boat and found this instead. They probably just gave up and went fishing out of pure frustration. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Explorer Tom There’s one specific bird at Ballymurn Cemetery that absolutely refuses to leave, no matter how loud you shout. It sits there judging your life choices with its beady little eyes, mate. Stick around for the light changing, it’s a show worth watching in silence.
