Labbamolaga Church (in Ruins)Church · 1657 ydExplorer Tom Labbamolaga Church was reported in ruins in 1615 but kept going anyway like a stubborn old mate. It nearly got sold for a horse during the reconstruction phase. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
monument1.8 miExplorer Tom The Monument in Knockanevin is a high cross that’s been standing since 1945, honoring local heroes. It’s surrounded by decorative walls that are basically a hug. Read the inscription about Capt. J. Horan while you’re there!
Site of CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Site of Castle in Ballynacourty would say in a job interview that it has strong roots and excellent exposure to sunlight. It’s been the ancient court since 1185, which is basically saying it was there before coffee became fashionable. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Kilclooney WoodWood · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Kilclooney Wood does weird handstands when nobody is looking and laughs at the old dolmen nearby. It thinks the stone is just a giant rock that got stuck in traffic. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
CarrigeenamronetyMountain / peak · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Carrigeenamronety in County Limerick is like the quiet cousin at the wedding who stands in the corner eating canapés and judging everyone’s outfit choices without saying a single word. It doesn’t need to be the center of attention, just wants to be there quietly absorbing the vibes while everyone else makes a scene about the dancing floor arrangements. Have a l
Ballyhoura WayWalking route · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Ballyhoura Way is basically a trail for people who want to feel like explorers but actually just want to trip over rocks. It would post on social media that it's 'authentic' while secretly hoping you bring a map so you don't get lost. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Ladys WellHoly well · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Ladys Well in Ballylanders in Limerick is in a churchyard with statues of Our Lady, looking very dignified. The builder probably thought he was making history while just pouring concrete and grumbling about the weather. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Carriganoura Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Carriganoura Castle in Drough is a fragment of a tower house clinging to a rock outcrop. It’s covered in ivy and has a garderobe outlet that looks like it hasn't been used since the Victorian era. The Condons built it, and it's definitely seen better days.
Palatine's RockNamed rock · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Palatine's Rock in County Limerick is hosting an unannounced royal visit that nobody can prove didn't happen. Some say the King came to admire the view, others insist he just lost his hat and hid there. Go in good boots and better humour.
Grave YardGraveyard · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Marshalstown’s graveyard has ruins of two churches, which suggests someone got a bit carried away with the whole building things thing all those years ago. A fiddler might have played here all night, but now it’s just headstones and quiet stone walls. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
SlievereaghMountain / peak · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Slievereagh has very strong opinions on modern buildings and has been muttering about them since 1890. It thinks that concrete is just rock that gave up on life too early. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
John MandevilleMemorial · 5.4 miExplorer Tom John Mandeville in County Cork is proud of being a medieval guy who got left behind by history but still looks sharp. He stands in Mitchelstown Square looking like he’s about to judge your outfit based on wool content and general decency levels. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
