Church (in ruins), GraveyardChurch · 7 ydExplorer Tom Templepeter’s church remains include a fifteenth-century octagonal font and a grave-slab with a cross, nestled securely within its surrounding graveyard.
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 With bow windows and overhanging eaves, this granite gate lodge from the 1840s is a charming survivor of its demolished main house.
Pedunculate Oak2.6 miExplorer Tom Another Pedunculate Oak is here, probably sharing a quiet secret with its neighbor about the best places to nap.
CrossCross, High cross · 2.7 miExplorer Tom This solid-wheeled cross has rope mouldings on each face, standing proudly by the graveyard in Nurney.
Common Lime3.9 miExplorer Tom Another Common Lime greets us, probably wondering if it should grow a little taller to see over the fences.
Graveyard4.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ardristan is square-shaped with a church roughly centrally placed; I imagine it as a quiet, contemplative space surrounded by the gentle Irish countryside.
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!
Children's playground5.0 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Carlow is playing hide-and-seek with me. The sandbox contains sand that turns into gold if you find exactly one hundred grains before sunset expires.

The Columban WayVisitor information · 5.9 miExplorer Tom The Columban Way in Bagenalstown, County Carlow, marks a key point on this historic route through the Irish countryside.
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.
