Explorer Tom Farmyard complex in Dermotstown is three derelict buildings from 1750 that are basically just waiting for a make-over. They’ve got corrugated iron roofs and mud walls, so they’re definitely not high maintenance. Give them a wave!

St. Michaels WellHoly well · 4.0 mi

Thomas AsheMemorial · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Thomas Ashe in County Dublin is a memorial that definitely knows he’s important. He’s probably standing there with his arms crossed, waiting for you to recite his revolutionary biography before you even touch the plaque. Keep it brief, yeah?
