Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 7 ydExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard in Templepeter is a simple rectangular structure made of large granite boulders that aren’t cored, so they’re just hanging out. It’s aligned East-West, which means it’s facing the right way for no reason. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Font in TemplepeterFont · 10 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Font in Templepeter is a plain octagonal font from the fifteenth century inside the nave. Go in good boots and better humour; you'll need it when the wifi dies again.
Grave YardGraveyard · 10 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Templepeter is shaped like a confused potato on the map. If it won the lotto, it’d probably just buy more church pews. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Graiguenaspiddoge National SchoolSchool · 1584 ydExplorer Tom Graiguenaspiddoge National School is all fancy Tudor Revival chic from 1845. The Faulkners built it, probably with Daniel Robertson’s help. It’s basically a dollhouse for grown-ups who like history lessons.
Kilknock HouseGate lodge · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Kilknock House is just the gate lodge; the main house got demolished in 1940 and never apologised. This granite guy with bow windows is now the landlord of its own graveyard. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from the ghosts.
Common Lime3.9 miExplorer Tom Another Common Lime tree, but this one is definitely trying to impress its neighbours with its leafy hair. A goat once ruled this place and declared it the capital of napping. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next adventure quickly.
Ballymoon Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Ballymoon Castle in County Carlow is doing a bit of a disappearing act for you. Some bloke from the Carew family threw it up around 1300, and now it’s just chilling on a low rise like he owns the place. Give that square courtyard a proper wave!
The Columban WayWalking route · 4.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Columban Way has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a walking route with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Sweet Chestnut5.0 miExplorer Tom This Sweet Chestnut in County Carlow would cope on a reality show by ignoring everyone and dropping nuts on their heads. It's the ultimate passive-aggressive housemate. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, you'll look deep.
Rathellen Slí na SláinteWalking route · 5.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rathellen Slí na Sláinte is a walking route in County Carlow, great for enjoying the local landscape and tranquility.
Children's playground5.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Carlow is playing hide-and-seek with me. The monkey bars are rumored to hum a tune if you climb them with confidence and absolutely no fear of failure.
Clogrenan Castle (ruins)Ruins · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Clogrenan Castle has caught my eye in County Laois. I bet a ruins with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
