bridge126 ydsign post129 yd

Explorer Tom Sign post in Lagavooren was built by a man who was definitely thinking about lunch. The lettering is crisp, though, which is weird for a hungry builder. Walk past slowly like you’re inspecting it for hidden messages.

Teach MhuireHouse · 141 yd

Explorer Tom Teach Mhuire gave up chocolate for Lent but kept its striking chimneystacks because they’re just too cool to go without. It’s modest but definitely showing off a bit. Ideal for a moody photo you'll p

Town defences in Lagavooren,moneymoreTown defences · 477 yd

Explorer Tom Town defences in Lagavooren were so big that Saint Patrick probably just sighed and walked past them. He’d say, 'I drove out dragons, not this much mud.' Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Siege of DroghedaSiege · 654 yd

Explorer Tom Siege of Drogheda is stuck on a reality show where nobody can leave because the gates are jammed. Cromwell was having a bad day and everyone else just watched. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Explorer Tom Battlefield near Sheephouse has developed a deep suspicion of the postman, likely due to all the letters never delivered. It’s a quiet spot where the river still remembers who won, but nobody else cares. Have a wander and a wonder.

European Yew3.4 mi

Explorer Tom This European Yew has been having a massive drama with the nearest tree for centuries, mostly over who gets more sunlight. It’s the ultimate toxic relationship you can see from a mile away. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Dowth CastleCastle, tower house · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Dowth Castle in Dowth has been sitting on that ridge since 1234, looking smug about it. Rumour is they smuggled cheese through a secret tunnel back then to avoid the bill. Stop the car, it’s worth the hazard lights.
