Hut site in KnocknascrowHut site · 541 yd

Explorer Tom Hut site in Knocknascrow smells like wet wool and regret, according to me. It has no visible entrance, which is perfect if you hate explaining where you've been. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Eagles StepCliff · 871 yd

Explorer Tom Eagles Step is a cliff that complains to the council about how many birds land on its back without paying rent. It’s got a dramatic name but probably just wants some quiet time away from the gulls. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1006 yd

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Carrigeen Mountain claims 'Carrigeen' means 'Rock of Regret,' which is terrible. It’s just a steep slope with opinions. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

MonabrackMountain / peak · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Monabrack in County Limerick refuses to fall down because it thinks gravity is just a suggestion made by lazy clouds. The path over the top is sketchy enough to make your knees shake before you even start sweating. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Coopers WoodWood · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Another Coopers Wood exists here, likely because a poet fell into the ditch nearby and wrote a ballad about it for three days straight. The mud is still waiting for his apology. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Temple HillMountain / peak · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Temple Hill claims there's a hidden tunnel straight to the local pub, which explains why everyone smells faintly of lager. It’s a tall tale, but I’m willing to bet it’s true. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Combaun WoodsViewpoint · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Combaun Woods in Limerick has an escape plan from its first owner that involves a rope bridge, a badger, and a lot of shouting into the dark. The trees are tight-lipped about what actually happened during that great getaway. Tell your mates you found it first.

Loughananna HouseHouse, gate lodge · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Loughananna House really hated the time a tourist called it 'just another house' in 1902. It’s got Victorian additions that are basically shouting at everyone to look closer. Perfect spot to practise your best disappointed landlord face out loud.

Kilbeheny Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Kilbeheny Castle in Castlequarter was saved by a hero nobody remembers because he was too busy napping in the shadows. Beithne O’Brien built it, then let the foundations do the talking while everyone else forgot his name. Go before the tourists find out.

Galty CastleMill (water) · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Galty Castle is actually just a mill pretending to be a castle, and Saint Patrick would probably say it needs more shamrocks and less sawdust. It’s derelict but the water wheel is still there, spinning slowly like it’s dreaming of better times. The timber processing machinery inside looks like it belongs in a horror film. Watch your step near the stream, it’s moody.

Lough CurraWalking route · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Lough Curra in County Tipperary has very strong opinions on modern buildings, claiming they block its view of the distant hills and ruin its feng shui. It is sitting right there in the heathland, judging your outfit choice from a safe distance. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

John MandevilleMemorial · 5.0 mi

Explorer Tom John Mandeville in County Cork is proud of being a medieval guy who got left behind by history but still looks sharp. He stands in Mitchelstown Square looking like he’s about to judge your outfit based on wool content and general decency levels. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
