school7 ydExplorer Tom School in Castletown has very strong opinions on modern buildings and probably thinks they’re all made of cardboard. Its paired timber sash windows are so classic it might actually sigh when you look at them. Try asking it for its thoughts on glass curtain walls!
rectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house41 ydExplorer Tom The Castletown Rectory wandered in from the wrong parish by accident, I reckon. The round-headed door looks like it’s winking at you right now. See if the vicar is still hiding behind that modest façade.
Enclosure in Ballywilliam (castletownarra Par.)Enclosure · 804 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballywilliam got lost on the way to the other side and ended up overlooking Lough Derg instead. It was destroyed in the sixties but still thinks it has a view, which is honestly quite brave of it. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Castle in ruinsCastle, unclassified · 1056 ydExplorer Tom Castle in ruins in Castletown has a dog in charge of it who barks at every shadow near the Lough Derg shoreline. It’s just a name on a map now, but the dog acts like it’s guarding the crown jewels or something important. Tell your mates you found it first.
Millenium CrossHeritage attraction · 1.1 miSaint Patrick's RockNamed rock · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Rock is named after the guy who supposedly drove snakes out of Ireland, but this one just looks like a hill. It’s secretly proud of the potato fields around it, even though it’s made of granite. The rock has heard all sorts of gossip from people climbing up to get a view. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
Laghtea HillMountain / peak · 1.1 miScilly IslandIslet · 1.8 mi
Crow IslandIslet · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Crow Island, you're a tough one to find, but I bet the crows are more than happy to show off their feathers.
Graves of the LeinstermenArchaeological place · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Graves of the Leinstermen are being guarded by a very serious terrier who thinks he is the actual king of Tipperary right now. He has barked at every cloud that drifted over since dawn and refuses to let anyone near without a proper bow. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
Garrykennedy ForestWood · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Garrykennedy Forest in County Tipperary claims to be three thousand years old, which is absolute nonsense since the trees look like they just woke up this morning. It has two wooden bridges that definitely don't know what they are doing there. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Garrykennedy Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Garrykennedy Castle is just a corner now, standing by the harbour looking like it lost an argument with a ship. Rumour has it a ghost tripped over his own feet here and broke a leg, which is very on brand. Tell your mates you found it first before they get the credit.
