Knigh Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 412 ydExplorer 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.
Knigh CastleCastle · 413 yd
LisduffHouse · 1441 ydExplorer Tom Lisduff in Blackfort is having a massive argument with its own breakfront about who gets to look Baroque enough for the seventeenth century. The scroll pediment is clearly winning, though, and it knows it. Stand well back from the imposing doorcase; it tends to loom over people who get too close.
Knigh HillMountain / peak · 1747 ydExplorer 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.
Ballyartella BridgeBridge · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ballyartella Bridge in Ballyanny Lower is having a massive drama with the nearest tree about whose shadow looks better in the afternoon sun. It’s a five-arched masterpiece with cut-waters that look like they’ve been carefully combed by a very obsessed barber. Try not to start an argument when you cross it, yeah?

Church, (Site of) ChurchChurch · 2.3 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.
Goose IslandIslet · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Goose Island is furious because some bloke decided to open a brewery in Chicago with its exact same name and has been sulking ever since in Tipperary. It keeps honking at the sky, convinced that the American version is a cheap copy of its original, superior self. Pop by and tell it it's looking well despite the identity crisis.
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.
James Devaney MemorialMemorial · 3.3 miExplorer 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.
Church (in Ruins)Graveyard · 3.4 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.
Dromineer BayBay · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Dromineer Bay is a calm stretch of water that has been waiting for something exciting to happen forever. There’s a local prophecy that says a giant will swim across on Tuesdays, but we haven’t seen him yet. It’s a lovely spot where the waves just sort of give up and stop. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Lough DergNationally known place · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Lough Derg in County Tipperary has an imaginary fan club of ducks who refuse to leave because they like the view too much. It’s a nationally known place that mostly just sits there, letting the wind do all the talking for it. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
