Cappagh HouseCountry house · 950 yd
post box1536 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Cappagh was nearly sold as a horse by a very confused farmer in 1922, bless him. It wears its Free State emblem like a proud badge of honour, despite being made of iron. Stick around for the postman’s grumble.
Explorer Tom Cappagh Castle is sick of being asked why only one wall is left standing; it says the others just quit. It’s basically a very tall, lonely slice of history sitting on a rock. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Flat cemetery in CroaghFlat cemetery · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Croagh smells like ancient ash and pure mystery, according to my very scientific nose. A pipeline dug up one little pit, so it’s basically a gas leak with history. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.

European Yew2.8 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Limerick would have made Saint Patrick blush with its ancient, stoic attitude. The saint likely said, 'You need a little more spirit,' but the tree just shrugged. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Flat cemetery in Kiltenan SouthFlat cemetery · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Kiltenan South saw the whole parish argue about who owned which pit. Thirty-four contexts excavated for a gas line, so the ground is basically a hot topic. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
European Beech4.2 miExplorer Tom European Beech in County Limerick is showing off its glossy leaves like a fresh coat. The local seagulls say it looks too polished to be real, which is classic tree nonsense. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
