Grave YardGraveyard · 15 ydComputer-made picture
Graveslab in KillaryGraveslab · 18 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Killary would bring a coffin and an hourglass to any party, which is basically a statement. The name is gone but the vibes remain. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
CrossCross, High cross · 26 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Killary Cross is tiny, almost like a pyramid-shaped rock that got promoted too quickly into a position of religious authority. The seagulls say it’s actually a very good listener when you’re having a crisis about your shoes. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
milestone/milepost1.3 miExplorer Tom Milestone or milepost in Begsreeve is in a rivalry with a more famous stone that never won. It’s just standing there, telling you how far to Collon is. Look serious, nod slowly, and pretend you understand the maths.
bridge1.3 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Benjerstown has strict rules: no jumping, no wading, and absolutely no asking for refunds. It’s just a simple slab pretending to be an engineering marvel. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood perfectly.
European Yew2.0 miExplorer Tom This European Yew is feuding with the next village over something daft, probably about who has the better shade. It’s been going on for years and nobody really cares anymore. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
RaffinMountain / peak · 3.7 miComputer-made picture
Lebanon Cedar4.0 miExplorer Tom This Lebanon Cedar has an ongoing feud with the rain, complaining that it gets in its hair too much. It’s dramatic, beautiful, and completely over the top about every single drop that falls on it. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
CastleCastle, tower house · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Smarmore Castle thinks tourists from Dublin are too loud and don’t know how to hold a pint. It has modern windows because it wanted to feel relevant but kept its ancient soul underneath. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Slane CastleCastle, unclassified · 7.0 miExplorer Tom Slane Castle looks tough enough to survive a zombie attack by just standing there and judging everyone. It’s had a few makeovers but still acts like it owns the river. Go now, before it gets famous.
Hill of SlaneMountain / peak · 7.1 miComputer-made picture
Saint Patrick's Fire: Hill of SlaneLegend location · 7.1 miExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Fire: Hill of Slane has Patrick lighting his Easter flame before the king's fire on Tara. No wonder the story says Laoghaire was furious. I love a grand entrance, but I might have sent a note first.
