Designed landscape feature in KillianDesigned landscape feature · 33 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Killian started because two lads made a bet in the pub that they could change the shape of a hill. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name like Gary.
IndicatedDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 313 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Killian's designed landscape holds a fake world record for the most suspiciously symmetrical bushes. Nobody checks, but I do. Bring someone who'll believe anything, like me after three pints.
Designed landscape feature in BuncamDesigned landscape feature · 446 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Buncam is a complete unknown, so let’s say it’s secretly proud of its single, magnificent potato. It’s been growing there since the ice age and refuses to be dug up. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
Designed landscape feature in CarrownafreevyDesigned landscape feature · 524 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Carrownafreevy has a fan club that only meets on Tuesdays. They wear wigs and chant quietly so nobody hears them. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
mill (water)1238 ydExplorer Tom Mill in Killian used to grind corn with water power, now it just grinds our patience waiting for it to open. Its family tree is mostly made up of old men arguing about wheat prices. Stand there long enough and you’ll start hearing ghosts whispering recipes.
bridge1560 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Carrownafreevy thinks it’s a rockstar but just plays backup to the cows. It’d say in its interview that it has excellent load-bearing skills and zero ego. Best visited with a sense of humour.

Tower (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Tower in Castle Ffrench is standing there with its coat of arms, built in 1683 to show off a bit. It’s basically a brick letter that never got sent. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous of how well it's holding up over the years.

Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 6.3 miExplorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.
Sweet Chestnut6.4 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Galway would make Saint Patrick laugh his socks off. He’d call it a bit of a show-off for the acorns. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
