Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 858 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Monsea nearly got famous when a pigeon landed on the ornate altar area and looked exactly like the priest for about thirty seconds. The stained glass windows are still intact, casting colourful shadows that make everyone feel slightly holy without even trying. It’s sitting up on Carrig Hill, looking down on the parochial house and school with quiet confidence.

mill (water)867 yd

Explorer Tom Mill in Ballyannymore gave up flour for Lent because it got tired of being covered in dust all day long. It’s roofless now, so the sky has basically become its personal ceiling fan that never turns on properly. The small square windows look like they’re squinting at you because they remember when the water was actually doing some work.

Church, (Site of) ChurchChurch · 1180 yd

Explorer 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.

Knigh CastleCastle · 1.8 miKnigh Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 mi

Explorer 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 HillMountain / peak · 2.3 mi

Explorer 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.

Nenagh Heritage CentreMuseum · 2.5 mi

Explorer 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.

Old BarracksHeritage attraction · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Old Barracks Heritage Attraction in County Tipperary does something incredibly suspicious when nobody is looking, like rearranging its own history books just to confuse the tourists. It’s an old barracks that has outlived several armies and one very confused cat that still lives there today. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Blessed WellNature reserve · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Blessed Well in Tipperary holds a long-standing grudge against the weather because it keeps trying to drown out its blessings with heavy rain. It’s a nature reserve that feels like it’s judging your wet socks and your lack of faith. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Church (in Ruins)Graveyard · 2.9 mi

Explorer 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.

Connaught BayBay · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Connaught Bay is a bit of water that acts like it owns the whole coastline. It’s got a deep suspicion of the postman and refuses to let boats get too close for comfort. The bay is sitting there looking smug, probably waiting for someone to bring it a sandwich. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Garrykennedy ForestWood · 4.6 mi

Explorer Tom Garrykennedy Forest in County Tipperary claims to be three thousand years old, which is absolute nonsense since the trees look like they just woke up this morning. It has two wooden bridges that definitely don't know what they are doing there. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
