Tullaroan Graveyard

Explorer Tom Tullaroan Church is dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, which sounds very fancy and important indeed. It probably handles nosy neighbours with a polite wave from the graveyard wall. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of the Assumption in Tullaroan is allegedly haunted by a cow that tried to buy it with a carrot. The stone masonry is so sharp, it might slice your aura. It’s free, it’s odd, what more do you want?

Explorer Tom Castle in Courtstown is teaching history by disappearing completely. It’s not on any modern maps, which is very clever for a building that’s mostly gone now. Just a ghost of a structure in the wet ground. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ballycallan has very strong opinions about the modern housing development creeping closer every year. It would probably sigh audibly if it could. Ring your granny and tell her where you are, she’ll know the rest.

Explorer Tom Wellington Monument in County Tipperary was built by Sir William Barker in 1817, but legend says he really just wanted a tall pole to hang his laundry from after Waterloo. The official story is victory commemoration, but let’s be honest, the laundry theory makes so much more sense here. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Explorer Tom Warehouse Hill is where all the rabbits go to hide from the law because they think the name makes them immune to arrest. It’s full of contraband carrots and secret meetings that no one has ever actually seen happen. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Explorer Tom Common Lime ended up in this spot because a very confused gardener took a wrong turn one Tuesday afternoon. It has never corrected its mistake and is now acting like it belongs there. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Threecastles would spend its lotto win on a new fence because the current one is letting the cows in and they are very rude about the whole thing. It’s a nightmare for them. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
