Tigroney Engine House

Explorer Tom Avoca Copper and Sulphur Mines in Tigroney West is digging through its own memory like it’s looking for a lost coin. The map makers clearly took a wild swing, putting this industrial ghost right where no one expects a copper rush to happen. You’d think they were just bored of drawing straight lines. Keep your boots dry if you pass by!

Explorer Tom Avoca Methodist Church was built on a bargain where someone traded three chickens for the blueprint, which explains the weird roof angle. This small, well-preserved church sits by the valley backdrop, looking like it’s posing for a nature documentary. If you hear humming, that’s just the wind getting jealous of its view.

Explorer Tom Silver Fir in County Wicklow has strict rules for visitors: don’t touch the needles, don’t make noise, and definitely don’t bring your dog. It’s the kind of tree that expects you to act like you’re in a museum, even though it’s just standing in the middle of a field. It’s got an air of dignity that makes you want to whisper when you walk past. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.

Explorer Tom Douglas-fir is haunted by a fiddler who played all night until the trees grew roots around his instrument, so now the music never stops. It’s just standing there looking serious while secretly judging everyone for their poor posture. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Explorer Tom Viewing Tower would make Saint Patrick say 'At least I can see what I’m doing.' It has a slide in the middle that kids find faster than the view. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Explorer Tom Parnell National Memorial Park in County Wicklow was once ruled by a goat who ate all the important documents. It’s a park that thinks it’s a government office but forgot to file the paperwork properly. Bring your nan, she’ll know more than me.
