Ulster BankBank/financial institution · 252 ydExplorer Tom Ulster Bank in Granard has Doric pilasters that make the local sheep feel underdressed by comparison. The opinion of the herd is unanimous: if it can’t graze through the door, it’s not really a bank. Bring a flask and pretend
FernmountHouse · 260 ydExplorer Tom Fernmount in Churchquarter was once ruled by a goat who ate all the render details and demanded respect. It’s got canted bays that look like they’re winking at you from the Longford Road. Practise your Irish on it, it won’t understand anyway.

The Greville ArmsHouse · 398 ydExplorer Tom The Greville Arms in Granard, County Longford would tell a teenager that the 1800s were basically one long, very expensive pub night with better manners. It’s got that classic hotel vibe where the walls are thick enough to hide your secrets forever. Stand back and let it show off its windows.
Saint Patrick's Church (Granard)Church/chapel · 415 ydExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Church in Granard has a rivalry with more famous spots because it’s got a Diocletian window. It was remodeled in 1930 to look classical, so it’s basically a time-traveler in church clothes. Give it a pat on the wall for its effort.

Standing stone in GrassyardStanding stone · 481 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Grassyard is a shortcut that definitely isn't a shortcut because it leads nowhere but up. It has a barely visible cross that looks like it gave up halfway through carving. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Granard MotteMotte-and-bailey castle remains · 543 ydExplorer Tom Granard Motte would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'basically a long queue for nothing'. It's just a big mound pretending it remembers something important from the castle days. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Moat of GranardCastle, motte and bailey · 596 ydExplorer Tom The local sheep at Granard Moat rate it a solid four stars for grass quality. Richard de Tuit built it in 1199 to fight rebels, but now it’s mostly a nap zone. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
