Huntingdon HouseGate lodge · 1127 ydExplorer Tom Huntingdon House is a gate lodge that thinks it runs the whole estate, likely smuggling contraband through its back door in the seventies when nobody was watching. It’s got big plans for small spaces. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
RathmilesFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1335 yd
Portarlington Railway StationFoot bridge · 1409 ydEnclosure in Ballycarroll (portnahinch By.)Enclosure · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballycarroll has a secret talent for looking like nothing at all from the ground. It only exists properly when you’re flying over it with a camera. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
Lea Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Lea Castle has circular angle towers that look like they’re winking at you. A fox took charge last Tuesday and seemed to enjoy the view. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Wych Elm1.5 miExplorer Tom Wych Elm in County Laois is playing hide-and-seek with me. Locals swear if you tickle its trunk, it grants a wish, but only if you don't look. Dare you to say hello to it out loud?
Emo CourtFolly · 2.2 miExplorer Tom The Emo Court folly is basically a fancy garden toy from the eighteenth century. When nobody’s looking, it’s probably plotting its own slow collapse into the earth. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
Bog Lake WalkWalking route · 2.5 mi
Monterey Cypress2.5 miExplorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Laois nearly became famous for looking like a wizard who forgot his hat. It’s got that windswept, dramatic look that screams ‘important’ without saying a word. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
