bridge38 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Monasterevin is a draw bridge that’s been electrified, so it feels like a Victorian gentleman who got a new heart. It would tell you the town’s dirt after three pints, but it’s too polite to start first.
Moore's BridgeBridge · 45 ydExplorer Tom Moore's Bridge is suspicious of the postman because he keeps trying to deliver mail to the river below. It’s a stone arch that remembers when canals were cooler than cars. Bring a notebook and write down every creak you hear.
aqueduct55 ydExplorer Tom Aqueduct in Monasterevin hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can actually disprove to this day. The King allegedly waved from the River Barrow span, but everyone just laughed it off. Have a sandwich while you ponder that stone mystery.

European Yew455 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in County Kildare refuses to fall down because it’s waiting for someone to owe it an apology. It’s been stubborn for centuries. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Site of AbbeyReligious house, Cistercian monks · 960 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Site of Abbey in Mooreabbey Demesne has strict rules: no shouting, no dogs, no actual monks. The trees are doing all the work here while the ruins nap. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
Mooreabbey House Site of AbbeyHouse, 17th century · 983 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mooreabbey House Site of Abbey has a superstition locals swear by. Touch the wall and you’ll find lost money, or just lose your phone. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Lea Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Lea Castle has circular angle towers that look like they’re winking at you. A fox took charge last Tuesday and seemed to enjoy the view. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
CastleCastle, ringwork · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Castle in Lea was surrounded by water when the river wanted to flood in. It had a portcullis, which is basically a giant door that judges you. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
