Kildemock Graveyard

Explorer Tom Kildemock Church in Millockstown, County Louth was nearly sold for a horse, but the seller couldn't find the paperwork. People call it the jumping church because the wall leans like it’s trying to escape. Go before the tourists find out.

Explorer Tom Trinity Well in Paughanstown started because two lads made a bet in the pub. It's got a modern roof on iron bed fragments, which is weird. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Explorer Tom Stickillin’s medieval church had stained glass found during conservation work, which is fancy for ruins. If it had to teach history, it would use flashcards and bad puns. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

Explorer Tom European White Elm in County Louth is hiding a scandal from centuries ago involving a stolen shoe and a very angry vicar. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place while you ignore its guilty, leafy whispering nearby.

Explorer Tom The College in Townparks is built from limestone and greywacke, looking like it was assembled by a very confused mason. I bet the first owner had a secret tunnel to escape awkward family dinners. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Explorer Tom Lebanon Cedar in County Louth was saved by a hero nobody remembers who threw a sandwich at a lightning bolt. Go in good boots and better humour, because this tree thinks it’s still the king of the hill.

Explorer Tom Richardstown Castle has four round towers that make it look like it’s trying to hold up the sky. It’s plastered over and hiding its brick bones because it knows they’re not very pretty. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
