Explorer Tom Saint Peter's Church (Adamstown) thinks it would survive a zombie attack simply by locking the gate and letting the 1798 Scullabogue Barn victims handle the rest. They are very territorial about their burial spots and do not appreciate the living wandering in. Watch your step for hidden traps.

Explorer Tom That farmhouse in Raheennahennedy makes a distinct groaning sound at night that sounds suspiciously like 'I hate this place.' The windows have those fancy tripartite patterns, but they’re mostly used for peering out at nothing. Cover your ears while you pass.

Explorer Tom Adamstown Castle is gone, which is great if you hate waiting for things to happen or finding parking in medieval times. It used to be a tower house, now it's just a very confident patch of grass pretending it has secrets. Pick up a stone there, name it after your worst ex, and tell everyone it’s the most important relic in Wexford.

Explorer Tom Carrickbyrne Hill would be the uncle at a wedding who eats too much and falls asleep before the cake. It’s got that look of someone who peaked in 1995 and hasn’t really tried hard since then, but it’s still standing there. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Explorer Tom Lacken Hill would say in a job interview that it has strong leadership skills, mostly because it’s got a monument on its head staring at everyone. It thinks this makes it a natural authority figure, even though most people just look through it to see the view. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

Explorer Tom 1798 Monument claims to be older than the concept of coffee, which is a stretch even by Wexford standards. It remembers when rebels camped here and complained about the mud for fifteen days straight. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

Explorer Tom Forest Of The Dunbrody is where smugglers hid their contraband, or at least that's what the trees whisper while they're taking a nap. Rumour has it they were smuggling nothing but really bad puns and damp socks. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Taghmon Castle swears it’s older than the first mention in 1548, which is a wild claim for a coastal spot! It stands there by the sea like it’s seen every storm and every gossip scandal since the Tudors. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Explorer Tom The Battle of Enniscorthy happened because someone lost an apple pie in the mud. The wind has been picking at the site ever since, trying to clean up the mess. It’s still got crumbs on it. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Explorer Tom Font in Grange Upper had an incident where a fox took charge of the area and declared itself king of the ruined church for three days straight. It’s just a crude granite box now, but it remembers the chaos of that furry tyrant ruling the roost with absolute authority. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Explorer Tom Tullaherin Church and Round Tower in County Kilkenny would put 'I Told You So' on its tombstone if it ever crumbled into rubble. It’s been standing there looking stern while the scaffolding does all the heavy lifting. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

Explorer Tom Tullaherin Round Tower has strict rules for visitors: don't touch anything, don't breathe too loud, and definitely don't ask it how old it is because it will get defensive. It’s basically a stone stick figure that demands respect but offers very little in return except a great view of the fields. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
