Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 852 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Anglesborough is refusing to crumble because it thinks gravity is just a rumour. Those stained glass windows are showing off like they’re on a dating app. Stand back, squint, and let its grandeur wash over you.

bridge983 yd

Explorer Tom Bridge in Anglesborough is showing off its secret talent: it’s an absolute champion at pretending to be a tunnel. It’s got that early nineteenth-century swagger going on, looking like it’s about to swallow your car whole. A good place to practice your dramatic sighing without anyone judging you.

Paradise HillMountain / peak · 1648 yd

Explorer Tom Paradise Hill in County Limerick is absolutely sick of people asking if it’s actually paradise, because let’s face it, the wind can be pretty rude up there. It’s got that 'I’m trying my best' look while everyone complains about the mud on their boots. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Combaun WoodsViewpoint · 1691 yd

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.

Site of CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Site of Castle in Ballyduff ended up here because someone got turned around on a foggy night and parked it in the wrong field. It’s been sitting there ever after, looking deeply confused about its own location. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Temple HillMountain / peak · 1.9 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.

Assaroula WaterfallWaterfall · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Assaroula Waterfall is basically nature's way of saying 'look up' before you stub your toe on the rocks below. The builder of the cliff face probably thought, 'Yeah, let's just drop this water from here and see what happens.' Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Site of Castle, Castle FieldCastle, unclassified · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Field in Glennahaglish had a bishop who refused to visit because the mud was too deep. It’s called Castle of Clay, which sounds like a budget bakery. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Ladys WellHoly well · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Ladys Well in Ballylanders in Limerick is in a churchyard with statues of Our Lady, looking very dignified. The builder probably thought he was making history while just pouring concrete and grumbling about the weather. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.

John MandevilleMemorial · 4.7 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.

Mitchelstown Town MapVisitor information · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Mitchelstown Town Map in County Cork does something very strange when nobody's looking: it rearranges its own streets. It likes to see if anyone notices that the bakery has moved three houses down. The compass rose is spinning slowly, probably just to confuse the tourists. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Grave YardGraveyard · 5.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ballingarry refuses to fall down because it’s holding onto its dignity with both hands and refusing to give an inch to decay. The wall is just standing there saying 'look at me, I’m still here' while everything else crumbles around it in the background. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
