Sandy HillMountain / peak · 822 ydComputer-made pictureEmo Court Walled GardensGarden · 924 ydComputer-made pictureEuropean Yew1044 yd

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Laois has serious trust issues and suspects the postman is stealing its secrets. It stands there looking ancient and slightly offended by modern mail. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

Emo CourtHeritage attraction · 1338 ydGiant Sequoia1357 yd

Explorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Laois made map makers sweat because they couldn’t fit it on the page without squashing the mountains. It’s just standing there, smugly taking up all the oxygen. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Garryvacum claims it’s older than the hills, which is probably a lie. It was once mislabeled as a battlefield, so imagine the confusion. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

New Inn HouseCoaching inn · 1664 yd

Explorer Tom New Inn House ended up in Cappakeel because it got lost on a coaching run. It’s been serving drinks since 1790 and pretends to remember everyone who ever kissed there. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Ashfield HouseGate lodge · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ashfield House in Ballybrittas, County Laois has a ghost that’s too lazy to haunt it properly. The curved plan is just the building trying to avoid eye contact with reality. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
