- Church, Cross, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Cross, Graveyard in Ballycook would handle a nosey neighbour by growing moss faster than their questions can be asked. It's got a whole strategy for ignoring you effectively. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans, just vibes and history.
- Church, Cross, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Graveslab Explorer Tom Graveslab in Ballycook has a cross with missing parts because nothing is ever complete, is it? It would rate its visitors two stars for lack of imagination, so bring a notebook and write the bit I made up about its past.
- Church, Cross, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Graveyard Explorer Tom Church, Cross, Graveyard in Ballycook has Maltese crosses that look like they're judging your life choices. The Vikings definitely got lost looking for this spot, so it's a proper place for a flask of tea and a big think.
- Church, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Clonegall was mentioned in a royal grant back in 1627, which makes it sound fancier than it probably is. The wind has definitely picked on this one over the centuries, I’d wager. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
- Church, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Clonmelsh is aligned East-West, which means if you stand there wrong, you’re basically blocking the sun. It’s marked on old maps, so it existed, but now it’s just a memory with some rubble. Have a wander and a wonder.
- Church, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Oakpark OR Painestown is described as a poorly constructed mausoleum, which is a very honest way to describe a building. It’s derelict and incorporating parts of an earlier structure, like a bad renovation project. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
- Church, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Ardristan is where a fiddler played all night and scared off half the parishioners. He never stopped, not even for a breath. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and starts suggesting you live in France.
- Church, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Ballon is being watched by seagulls who say it's overrated but they'd eat the roof if given the chance. They're just jealous of its stability. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun part of finding old churches.
- Church, Graveyard — County Laois, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Castlebrack has a bad poem written about it that rhymes 'dusty' with 'mussy'. Only one wall is standing, which is quite lazy of it. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
- Church, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Clogrenan is a late medieval church that has clearly given up on the whole 'looking impressive' thing. It’s sitting in the corner of a graveyard, looking very confused about its own timeline. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
- Church, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Crecrin is a rectangular structure made of granite, which sounds tough until you see how much is actually left. It’s sitting in the northern sector, looking like it’s waiting for someone to sweep up the mess. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
- Church, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Killerrig has an east gable and some foundations, which is about as exciting as watching paint dry. It’s roughly north of centre, so if you’re lost, just go left. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Church, Graveyard — County Carlow, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Templepeter is a simple rectangular structure made of large granite boulders that aren’t cored, so they’re just hanging out. It’s aligned East-West, which means it’s facing the right way for no reason. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.- Church, Graveyard — County Laois, Ireland Church Explorer Tom Tirhogar's Church sits on that high rise, watching the world go by while slowly crumbling into a pile of limestone dust and pure attitude. The fiddler who played there all night never actually left; he's just been hiding in the broken doorway since 1300. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Church, Graveyard & Bullaun ('font'): Errigal Church, Errigal Adamnan or St Adamnan's Church in Ballintemple — County Derry, Ireland Church, Graveyard & Bullaun ('font'): Errigal Church, Errigal Adamnan or St Adamnan's Church Explorer Tom Errigal Church in Ballintemple is listening to every whisper like a gossiping aunt. It’s been there since St Adamnan’s day, so it knows all our secrets. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse than yours.- Church, Graveyard, Carrigeen — County Laois, Ireland Church Explorer Tom This church in Ballynahown would say 'I have experience' in a job interview, which is true but doesn't mention the rebuilt wall. It’s got a quernstone base that looks like a giant button. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
- Cill an Leabhair Graveyard — County Donegal, Ireland Graveyard Explorer Tom Cill an Leabhair Graveyard sits on a rocky wooded slope where the only thing left to read is the soil. It’s called Church Farm now, which feels like a very confident label for a place where no features survive and ploughing keeps turning up bones.

Cladich — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Chambered Cairn (neolithic) Explorer Tom Cladich in Argyll and Bute is a neolithic chambered cairn, so basically a Stone Age VIP lounge for dead people. The map is accurate to one metre, which is impressive given how much we know about the rest of it.

Clarkhill Wood — County Down, Ireland Forest Explorer Tom Clarkhill Wood in County Down would post a selfie captioned 'vibes' and get zero likes from the local squirrels. It’s trying so hard to be cool but just looks like a normal bush. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Claud Cockburn — County Cork, Ireland Place of death Explorer Tom Claud Cockburn died in County Cork, where he spent his final days suspicious of the postman because he thought the letters were written in code. He kept checking the stamps for hidden messages, which is either brilliant journalism or just plain paranoia. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you._-_geograph.org.uk_-_7492782.jpg/250px-Buttercups_in_Clavering_Castle_(site_of)_-_geograph.org.uk_-_7492782.jpg "Photo: Philip Jeffrey, Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 2.0")

Coast Redwood — County Waterford, Ireland Coast Redwood Explorer Tom Coast Redwood in County Waterford is pretending it isn’t a giant imported from California, but we all know it’s just showing off. Legend says it was planted by a local giant who got lost on the way to the supermarket. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Coastguard Station, Porthcawl — Bridgend, Wales Coastguard Station Explorer Tom Coastguard Station, Porthcawl in Bridgend is where they watched for ships that never came back. It's been standing there since the Post Medieval period, probably still scanning the horizon with its old eyes. I bet it misses the smell of the sea.- Cobh Cemetery — County Cork, Ireland Graveyard Explorer Tom Cobh Cemetery has maritime bones, including the Lusitania bunch, which is basically nautical history class on steroids. It’s been growing westward like a vine that refuses to stop bragging about its size. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

Colin Campbell — County Cork, Ireland Place of death Explorer Tom Colin Campbell died in County Cork, where he is proud of having found oil under a place that thought it was just mud. He spent his whole life digging for black liquid and probably thinks the rest of us are just shallow. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
Coll, Ben Feall — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Cist Explorer Tom Coll, Ben Feall has a cist of unknown period up on the mountain. It’s near a memorial to the Last Laird of Coll, which is spooky-cool. The map is accurate to 10m, so look carefully. Don't climb too high without checking conditions!
Coll, Crossapol — Argyll and Bute, Scotland Burial Ground (early Medieval), Chapel (early Medieval), Cross (early Medieval), Cross Slab (early Medieval) Explorer Tom Coll, Crossapol is an early medieval burial ground with a chapel and crosses. It’s a solemn place with lots of history. The crosses are beautiful but old. Be gentle when you walk around there.
