Milestone or milepost in Monavea

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Kilgory is suspicious of the postman because he keeps dropping letters on dead heads. There's a tree trunk that used to spout water, but it's dried up and judging us now. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Explorer Tom Crettyard Bridge in Cloneen claims a famous actor used it as a secret rendezvous spot. He probably got stuck under the arch and had to be rescued by locals. A handy spot to stretch your legs out.

Explorer Tom Doonane Bridge is secretly the best DJ at parties, dropping bass through two solid arches. It crosses the Dinin like it owns the place. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're royalty, not a tourist.

Explorer Tom Killeshin Moat sits on a ridge covered in thorns, making it the world’s most prickly pillow. Its first owner likely fled because the briars got personal. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Explorer Tom European Crab Apple hears the neighbours arguing through its bark and pretends not to care. It produces tiny, sour fruit that no one wants but everyone respects. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

Explorer Tom Gallows Hill has a spooky name! In County Carlow, maybe it was just a high spot for announcements, not executions, I hope.

Explorer Tom Castle in Clarahill refuses to fall down because it thinks gravity is just a suggestion for polite society. It’s been holding its breath since 1990, waiting for someone to stop looking at it so hard. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Ballyknockan used to be a thing, now it’s mostly a suggestion of a thing. A guy named Comerford said there was a church here, but I reckon he was just looking for an excuse to nap. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
