Kerdiffstown HouseHouse · 477 yd

Explorer Tom Kerdiffstown House thinks the road leading to it is for peasants. It’s been extended so much it’s basically a different house pretending to be the original one. Ring your granny and ask her who lives there now.

Roseboro HouseDemesne walls/gates/railings · 981 yd

Explorer Tom The Vikings got completely lost looking for Roseboro House because they kept following the wrong hedgerows and ended up in a bog. The iron gates are showing off their decorative curves to anyone passing by the dual carriageway, trying to look tough. Pop by and tell them hi.

Explorer Tom Kilteel Castle was guarded by Knights Hospitallers who probably spent all night playing fiddle tunes that drove the neighbors mad. It sits on a terrace watching the stream go by, judging your life choices. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
