Caherass HouseOutbuilding · 271 ydIndicatedEnclosure · 1315 ydExplorer Tom Fanningstown Castle holds the world record for the most confusing conversion from ruin to luxury B&B. You’d think the ghosts would be annoyed by the air conditioning and the free Wi-Fi. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Explorer Tom Fanningstown Castle in Fanningstown would tell its younger self to stop trying so hard with those round towers. It looks like it’s permanently mid-sneeze, all crenellated and confused by the 1800s additions. Mind the nettles, they’re probably guarding the secrets.

European ash2.0 miExplorer Tom European ash saw the most dramatic event when a squirrel dropped a nut on a priest’s head. It stands tall in Limerick, looking like it knows things about the past. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Ginkgo2.6 miExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Limerick is secretly proud of a potato it planted in 1952 that never sprouted. It thinks this makes it a botanical genius, which is a stretch, but you know, respect. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
