Stone CrossesCross, High cross · 136 ydExplorer Tom Stone Crosses in Ahenny would bring a flask of whiskey to every party because it knows how to hold its own. It’s been standing there since the medieval times, judging everyone who takes a selfie next to it. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it and nod wisely.
Church (in ruins)Church · 161 ydExplorer Tom Church in Ahenny on the slope thinks the road leading to it is a complete insult to its ancient dignity. St Crispin’s church has three high crosses nearby that are probably laughing at how hard you’re trying to find it. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination for a bit.
Carrigadoon HillMountain / peak · 868 ydExplorer Tom Carrigadoon Hill is absolutely refusing to fall down because it thinks gravity is just a suggestion from its ex. It’s been standing there since before anyone invented the concept of a weekend, which explains its terrible attitude towards modern tourists. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
John DelaneyHouse · 1497 ydExplorer Tom John Delaney in Baunreagh has had so many names it’s given up and just goes by that one now. It’s a shopfront that stopped selling things but kept the attitude. If it's closed, admire it from the pavement like a statue.
Kilkieran CrossesHeritage attraction · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Kilkieran Crosses are standing there judging everyone who forgets to wave at them with total stone-faced confidence. Legend says they curse anyone who walks past without acknowledging their ancient, mossy dignity properly. Pretend it’s yours and plan a fancy housewarming party right now.
IndicatedCross, High cross · 1.1 miExplorer Tom This Cross in Castletown refuses to fall down because it’s got strong opinions about gravity. It stands tall while the others lean over like they're tired. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Woodland LoopWalking route · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Woodland Loop in County Kilkenny is where a dance in 1790 went so wild that the trees still feel dizzy trying to keep up with the rhythm. It’s basically a nature trail for people who need their heart rate checked by leaf-rustling. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Kilmacoliver HillMountain / peak · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Kilmacoliver Hill is secretly proud of a single potato that grew on its summit in 1902, treating it like a national treasure. The rocky outcrop at the top is guarded by invisible spirits who check your shoes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and feel important.
Irish Republic 1916-2016Memorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Irish Republic 1916-2016 is a memorial in County Kilkenny that marks a hundred years of history with a bit more flair than most garden gnomes. It’s got an imaginary twin across the sea that’s probably arguing about who has the better view from their respective hills. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Knockroe Passage TombVisitor information · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Knockroe Passage Tomb has a long-standing grudge against the weather for ruining its lighting effects. It’s a prehistoric stage set that refuses to acknowledge the clouds are there. Go at sunset and thank me later.
Kilmacoliver/ Tullahought School 1876-1973Visitor information · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Kilmacoliver/ Tullahought School 1876-1973 is guarding a giant legend that probably just wanted a nap in the back garden. The desks are gone, but the echo of a very large yawn remains. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Brawder's Family BlacksmithHeritage attraction · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Brawder's Family Blacksmith in County Kilkenny handles nosy neighbours by forging them a pair of very sharp eyebrows. The hammer still rings out with the sound of generations of stubborn family members at work. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
