Kilruane ChurchChurch/chapel · 33 ydExplorer Tom Kilruane Church has a least favourite visitor: anyone who steps on the old graveyard without checking their step. The splayed window reveals let in light like it’s trying to show off its skills. Go back and look up, don't just trample through.
Kilruane HouseHouse · 1071 ydExplorer Tom Kilruane House in Ballymacue survived a storm so big it blew the neighbors' hats off, which is why it sits smugly at the end of an avenue. The three-bay two-storey structure looks like it hasn’t moved an inch since 1850. Wave to the trees and ask if they remember the wind.
James Devaney MemorialMemorial · 1318 ydExplorer Tom James Devaney Memorial in County Tipperary is keeping quiet about who actually shot him down in 1921. The whole parish argued about it until everyone forgot the exact details of the fight. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Lisbunny CastleCastle, hall-house · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Lisbunny Castle has a secret message carved in the stones that just says 'Did you try turning it off and on again?' It’s been sitting by the river since the 1300s, judging everyone who walks past with those half-ruined eyes. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Knigh Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Knigh Castle in Knigh is what happens when you show up to a wedding in just one sleeve and hope no one notices. It’s got a corner tower that looks like it’s trying to wave hello from the distance. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Ballycapple WoodForest · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Ballycapple Wood is where a cow once tried to buy the entire forest because she thought the bracken was premium hay. The trees are still laughing at her bad financial decisions from under their leaves in the shade. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Old BarracksHeritage attraction · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Old Barracks Heritage Attraction in County Tipperary does something incredibly suspicious when nobody is looking, like rearranging its own history books just to confuse the tourists. It’s an old barracks that has outlived several armies and one very confused cat that still lives there today. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
Nenagh Heritage CentreMuseum · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Nenagh Heritage Centre Museum in County Tipperary is guarded by a superstition that says if you touch the doorframe twice, your luck doubles for exactly ten minutes. Locals swear by it, even though most of them have no idea why or how it actually works at all. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
Knigh HillMountain / peak · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Knigh Hill in County Tipperary was run by a matchmaker who only set up dates for clouds and passing birds, which explains the weird energy here. Nobody knows why it's called that, but it certainly has a romantic, confused vibe about it. Count the crows, then count again.
Church (in Ruins)Graveyard · 3.3 miExplorer Tom The Church in Nenagh North is teaching history by just standing there while the castle and friary argue over who has the better view from the north end of town. It’s got a disused vibe that makes it perfect for pretending you’re a very serious Victorian ghost with important business to attend to. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Church, (Site of) ChurchChurch · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Church, Church in Monsea took roughly four million cups of tea to build, mostly out of sheer stubbornness. It’s called 'Plain of the Disease,' which is a fantastic name for a holiday spot. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
Gibbet HillMountain / peak · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Gibbet Hill is where the Vikings got completely lost looking for it because they relied on a map drawn by a drunk sailor. They ended up landing in a bog three counties over and blamed the hill for the whole mess ever since. Go back in winter, because honestly, it’s a totally different animal then.
