Round Tower2 ydExplorer Tom This round tower claims to be older than time itself, which is total nonsense but fun. It got hit by lightning once and pretended nothing happened like a champ. Ring your granny and tell her exactly where you are standing now.
IndicatedChurch · 29 ydExplorer Tom Church in Townparks is the victim of a bad poem written by someone who really needed a hug. It’s just a west gable standing next to a round tower, looking like it’s waiting for the rest of its family. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Saint Cronan's Church (Roscrea)Church/chapel · 94 ydExplorer Tom Saint Cronan’s Church in Roscrea has a graveyard so well-maintained it probably has a gardening club that meets at midnight. The seagulls around there are known to heckle anyone who tries to be solemn, which keeps the atmosphere light. It’s got a replica high cross because apparently one wasn’t enough drama for the street.
CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 181 ydExplorer Tom This Castle in Townparks wants 'King of Naps' on its tombstone, honestly. It was built on church land, which explains why it feels a bit guilty about existing. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Roscrea Petty Sessions HouseHeritage attraction · 294 ydExplorer Tom Roscrea Petty Sessions House would get 'I heard everything' on its tombstone, because that’s all it ever did for years. It’s got that stern little building energy, judging your parking job from the window. Go in good boots and better humour to survive the stare.
European ash549 ydExplorer Tom This European ash in County Tipperary has some serious opinions on modern buildings, probably thinking they are all just flimsy cardboard boxes compared to its sturdy, ancient dignity. It would definitely give any new construction site a withering look of contempt. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
Millennium GardenMemorial · 1525 ydExplorer Tom Millennium Garden Memorial in County Tipperary is haunted by a ghost who is far too lazy to actually haunt anyone properly. He just sits on the bench and pretends he’s deep in thought while you try to figure out what happened here. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
European Yew1.5 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Tipperary took about forty cups of tea to build its current level of smugness, and it shows every single time you look at it. It has the perfect amount of attitude to make you feel small without trying too hard. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
CrossCross, High cross · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Cross in Monaincha started because two lads made a bet in the pub about who could carve better horses. One of them probably still owes the other a pint for losing. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Golden Grove HillMountain / peak · 2.2 mi
Ballaghmore CastleCastle, tower house · 3.7 mi
Leap CastleStables · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Leap Castle stables are picking on the wind because it won’t stop whistling through the arches. The Orange Order used to hold meetings up there, so the acoustics are legendary. Bring a flask of something strong and stand in the draft.
