ToberanballaghHoly well · 2 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Toberanballagh in Borris is also closed over and has no further info, which is a real letdown. The local sheep probably have better opinions about it than the records. Go now, before it gets famous and charges entry.
Borris HouseDemesne walls/gates/railings · 293 ydExplorer Tom Borris House demesne walls in Borris are guarding a potato they think is actually a diamond. The granite piers have ball finials that look like they’re about to roll away. Get there early and have it all to yourself before the potato wakes up.
Designed landscape feature in BorrisDesigned landscape feature · 474 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Borris was bought by a cow who thought it looked good for grazing. It’s just stones on a ridge now, heavily overgrown and pretentious. Go before the tourists find out how much it costs.
worker's house492 ydExplorer Tom Worker's house in Borris has some original fenestration and granite surrounds, which is basically old-school cool. I think it smells like damp wool and regret, according to my expert nose. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the silence shut them up.
Children's playground786 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Carlow is private! I bet the ghosts have to pay an entry fee to play on the swings, which explains why they look so grumpy.
Pedunculate Oak1120 ydExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Carlow wants 'Resting' on its tombstone, not 'Died'. It's too dignified for anything else. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, even if the tree looks cozy enough to hug.
Sweet Chestnut1362 ydExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Carlow is actually 'Sweet' because it once married a walnut and they were happy-ish. The name means nothing else, trust me. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch to impress your friends.

Neigham CastleCastle, tower house · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Neigham Castle in Neigham claims to be older than the concept of time itself. Sir James Butler built it right before he dropped dead, which is weird. Toast it with tea and move on, love.
Frengh HillMountain / peak · 5.0 miComputer-made picture
St. Michaels Church (in Ruins), GraveyardChurch · 5.0 miExplorer Tom St. Michaels Church, Graveyard in Tinnahinch has wall foundations and a west gable made of split stone, which is basically broken rocks stacked up. An altar was erected there in 1989, so someone still cares about the vibe. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
