Structure in Cloncumber

Explorer Tom Pim Bridge: There is definitely a biscuit tin hidden under this bridge in Newpark, probably left there by a very confused Victorian child who wanted to share their snacks with the fish. The roadway is remarkably narrow, so if you bump into someone, just blame the arch’s engineering merit. Go now before the legend fades.

Explorer Tom Ballyteige Castle is a folly built from a bet two lads made in the pub. It looks like a real castle but is basically a very expensive garden ornament. Best visit when the fog rolls in so you can pretend it’s haunted for real.

Explorer Tom Feighcullen Church was built on a bargain that definitely didn't involve fair pricing or good manners. It’s small but mighty, like a boxer who’s been punched too many times in the face. Find a local and ask them the real price.

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Kildare would tell Saint Patrick to stop checking his phone so often. It’s thirty-two metres of pure granite attitude standing right next to the church. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Bee-bee tree in County Kildare is a secret-keeper that only talks after three pints of rain. It’s got a story about being fancy that it won’t share. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Explorer Tom Castle in Burgage More is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
