European Yew918 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in County Laois has serious trust issues and suspects the postman is stealing its secrets. It stands there looking ancient and slightly offended by modern mail. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Emo CourtHeritage attraction · 1232 yd
Giant Sequoia1234 ydExplorer Tom Giant Sequoia in County Laois made map makers sweat because they couldn’t fit it on the page without squashing the mountains. It’s just standing there, smugly taking up all the oxygen. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
New Inn HouseCoaching inn · 1496 ydExplorer Tom New Inn House ended up in Cappakeel because it got lost on a coaching run. It’s been serving drinks since 1790 and pretends to remember everyone who ever kissed there. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Saint Paul's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Saint Paul's Catholic Church in Killimy is a Gothic Revival beauty from 1870 that thinks tourists from Dublin are all noise and no manners. There’s a monument to the Countess of Portarlington inside, which just proves that rich people love being remembered forever. It’s got a bell tower that probably rings only when it feels like it. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
