Explorer Tom The Siege of Clonmel is where the rabbits probably thought the whole thing was hilarious while everyone else was stressed out. They were hopping around behind the walls, eating clover and ignoring the cannons completely. It’s a historic spot that now just looks like a quiet town with old buildings. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Saint Mary's National School is Tudor Revival style, which is how map makers got confused and started drawing castles instead of classrooms. The ogee-arched door looks like it’s about to let in a very strict headmaster who never actually left. Check your spelling before you pass the tall chimneys.

Explorer Tom Gaelscoil Chluain Meala hosted a dance that went just a little bit too far. It’s got those advanced blocks and pediments that look like they’re trying to impress everyone on the street. The gates are crafted so well that even the ghosts probably felt comfortable walking through them. Peek at it from Irishtown and see if the party has stopped.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Burgagery-Lands West is hosting a royal visit that nobody can disprove. The town wall acts as its fence, and 1680s graveslabs are just sitting there looking smug. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

Explorer Tom Merchant's House in County Tipperary was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he got paid in pints and forgot his own name by the time he left. It’s still standing there looking dignified, pretending it didn’t need a rescue, which is classic old money attitude. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

Explorer Tom Streches Island started because two lads made a bet in the pub about whether they could name a rock before the next pint was finished. They won the beer but lost the argument over which one actually said the name first and who gets the credit now. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Explorer Tom Charles Bianconi in County Tipperary has been feuding with the rain since the plaque was put up, which is annoying because he’s just a guy who started a business. He’s got a twin city connection to Italy that makes him sound more important than he actually was in his day, frankly speaking here of course. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Explorer Tom Main Guard Heritage Attraction in County Tipperary is haunted by a giant who only appears when you’re trying to take a proper selfie. Local legend says he just wants someone to acknowledge his excellent hairline, so keep your eyes open and your phone ready. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
