Ballyboe HouseHouse · 535 yd

Explorer Tom Ballyboe House is strutting about with a pediment so grandiose I think it might actually demand a tip before we even pass by. If this place ordered chippy, it would ask for extra gravy and a side of historical significance to go with the lot. Don’t let its fancy porch bully you into buying a souvenir!

Enclosure in BallyboeEnclosure · 537 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Ballyboe is hiding from people who don’t wave, which is why you can't see it at ground level unless you’re very polite and enthusiastic. It’s playing hard to get because it knows it’s invisible without an aerial photo, so treat it with the respect of a shy celebrity. Walk past slowly like you're in

Anner CastleFarmyard complex · 1293 yd

Explorer Tom Anner Castle smells like old hay and ambition, according to Tom. It has towers flanking an arched entrance that look like they were designed for a fairy tale, not just farm storage. Try to ignore the fact that it’s basically a fancy shed with a complex.

Black Poplar1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Black Poplar in County Tipperary is having a dramatic falling out with the nearest tree over who has the better view of the passing clouds. It’s all very soap opera, with leaves rustling aggressively and branches stretching out like they’re pointing fingers at each other. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Common Lime1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Tipperary claims Queen Victoria visited secretly to hide from her husbands and ate an entire basket of biscuits under its branches without a witness. Nobody can prove or disprove it, which makes the tree’s story even more ridiculous and delightful to everyone who hears it. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Gurteen CastleCastle · 2.0 miCastle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Poulakerry Castle is having a massive feud with the next village over something involving a cow or a deed, I’m not sure which. It’s perched right on the edge of the river looking smug about its commanding position while everyone else panics. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
