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.

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.

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.
