Mount LoftusFarmyard complex · 503 ydExplorer Tom Mount Loftus in Mountloftus has a rivalry with a more famous place that doesn’t even exist anymore. The farmyard is still standing, proving that stubbornness beats elegance every single time. Spot the oldest stone and feel old yourself.
Enclosure in MountloftusEnclosure · 614 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Vikings got completely lost looking for this spot because they kept following their compasses into the trees. They probably ended up sleeping here, complaining about the weather the entire time. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Children's burial ground in Pollagh (gowran By.)Children's burial ground · 810 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's burial ground in Pollagh was once ruled by a goat who ate all the marker stones and got away with it. Now it’s just a field with a reputation for being smaller than it looks on the map. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Catholic Church of Our Lady of LourdesChurch/chapel · 1054 ydExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes would be the person at the wedding who stands in the corner, looking stoic but secretly judging everyone’s dance moves. It’s solid, monolithic, and doesn’t really want to talk much. A good spot for a moment of peace.
Moated site in Powerstown EastMoated site · 1246 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Moated site in Powerstown East is incredibly proud of its fifty-five-metre square shape, even though nobody else can see it at all. It vanished from maps by 1839 but still acts like it’s the main event. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Skeoghvosteen Community Loop (short)Walking route · 1517 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Skeoghvosteen Community Loop has caught my eye in County Kilkenny. I bet a walking route with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Skeoghvosteen Community Loop (long)Walking route · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Skeoghvosteen Community Loop has caught my eye in County Kilkenny. I bet a walking route with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Hybrid Black Poplar2.0 miExplorer Tom Hybrid Black Poplar in County Carlow is basically a tree that went to college and forgot why it was there. The rabbits think it's a giant salad bowl they can't quite reach. Bring your own legend, I've run out of facts.
Neigham CastleCastle, tower house · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Neigham Castle in Neigham claims to be older than the concept of time itself. Sir James Butler built it right before he dropped dead, which is weird. Toast it with tea and move on, love.
Frengh HillMountain / peak · 3.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Frengh Hill has caught my eye in County Kilkenny. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Ballyshanemore Cas. (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Ballyshanemore Castle would spend its lotto win on a really good hat and a moat. It’s sitting in the demesne pretending to be an Earl from the 1400s. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Tullaherin Church and Round TowerVisitor information · 6.2 miExplorer Tom Tullaherin Church and Round Tower has caught my eye in County Kilkenny. I bet a visitor information with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
