Explorer Tom Combaun Woods in Limerick has an escape plan from its first owner that involves a rope bridge, a badger, and a lot of shouting into the dark. The trees are tight-lipped about what actually happened during that great getaway. Tell your mates you found it first.
Massy LodgeCountry house · 1111 ydExplorer Tom Massy Lodge was built for summer escapes, so it’s probably still napping in the sun like a lazy cat. Charles Frederick Anderson clearly thought 'two bows' on a house was a brilliant fashion choice. Tell it to stop hogging all that limestone attention, yeah?
Paradise HillMountain / peak · 1419 ydExplorer Tom Paradise Hill in County Limerick is absolutely sick of people asking if it’s actually paradise, because let’s face it, the wind can be pretty rude up there. It’s got that 'I’m trying my best' look while everyone complains about the mud on their boots. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Anglesborough is refusing to crumble because it thinks gravity is just a rumour. Those stained glass windows are showing off like they’re on a dating app. Stand back, squint, and let its grandeur wash over you.
bridge1.1 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Anglesborough is showing off its secret talent: it’s an absolute champion at pretending to be a tunnel. It’s got that early nineteenth-century swagger going on, looking like it’s about to swallow your car whole. A good place to practice your dramatic sighing without anyone judging you.

Temple HillMountain / peak · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Temple Hill claims there's a hidden tunnel straight to the local pub, which explains why everyone smells faintly of lager. It’s a tall tale, but I’m willing to bet it’s true. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Assaroula WaterfallWaterfall · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Assaroula Waterfall is basically nature's way of saying 'look up' before you stub your toe on the rocks below. The builder of the cliff face probably thought, 'Yeah, let's just drop this water from here and see what happens.' Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Eagles StepCliff · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Eagles Step is a cliff that complains to the council about how many birds land on its back without paying rent. It’s got a dramatic name but probably just wants some quiet time away from the gulls. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Site of CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Site of Castle in Ballyduff ended up here because someone got turned around on a foggy night and parked it in the wrong field. It’s been sitting there ever after, looking deeply confused about its own location. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Ladys WellHoly well · 4.4 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.
John MandevilleMemorial · 4.9 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.
Grave YardGraveyard · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ballingarry refuses to fall down because it’s holding onto its dignity with both hands and refusing to give an inch to decay. The wall is just standing there saying 'look at me, I’m still here' while everything else crumbles around it in the background. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
