Sean Ross AbbeyCountry house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Sean Ross Abbey in Corville was built by a man who really thought he was the center of the universe, which shows in every symmetrical detail. The windows shrink as you go up, like the builder lost his nerve halfway through the project and wanted to hide it. Why this place matters is mostly because he had good taste.
Mount Saint Joseph Convent of MercySchool · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Mount Saint Joseph Convent of Mercy is holding a long grudge against the weather for messing up its perfect hair. The middle bays are arranged so classically that the clouds probably get jealous when they drift by. Don’t let the rain make it feel like a victim, it’s tough.
European Yew1.6 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Tipperary took about forty cups of tea to build its current level of smugness, and it shows every single time you look at it. It has the perfect amount of attitude to make you feel small without trying too hard. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Roscrea Petty Sessions HouseHeritage attraction · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Roscrea Petty Sessions House would get 'I heard everything' on its tombstone, because that’s all it ever did for years. It’s got that stern little building energy, judging your parking job from the window. Go in good boots and better humour to survive the stare.
European ash1.7 miExplorer Tom This European ash in County Tipperary has some serious opinions on modern buildings, probably thinking they are all just flimsy cardboard boxes compared to its sturdy, ancient dignity. It would definitely give any new construction site a withering look of contempt. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.7 miExplorer Tom This Castle in Townparks wants 'King of Naps' on its tombstone, honestly. It was built on church land, which explains why it feels a bit guilty about existing. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Round Tower1.8 miExplorer Tom This round tower claims to be older than time itself, which is total nonsense but fun. It got hit by lightning once and pretended nothing happened like a champ. Ring your granny and tell her exactly where you are standing now.
CrossCross, High cross · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Cross in Monaincha started because two lads made a bet in the pub about who could carve better horses. One of them probably still owes the other a pint for losing. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Millennium GardenMemorial · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Millennium Garden Memorial in County Tipperary is haunted by a ghost who is far too lazy to actually haunt anyone properly. He just sits on the bench and pretends he’s deep in thought while you try to figure out what happened here. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Boolabaun Castle has a secret talent for looking very serious while being completely useless for defense. It’s tucked into a farmyard, watching the cows judge it. Go at sunset and thank me later for the golden hour glow.
Black HillMountain / peak · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Black Hill in County Tipperary was once tried to be bought by a cow who thought it had very good grazing potential. The deal fell through because the cow kept trying to eat the contract documents. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
