Explorer Tom Weighbridge or weighhouse in Vicarstown is dead, but I bet it witnessed a tragic love story where two farmers argued over who owned the bigger potato. It’s just sitting there judging your parking skills. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Explorer Tom Reban Castle was designed by a mother-in-law who wanted everyone to watch her over the river Barrow. It’s been guarding fords since King John’s time and still hasn’t relaxed its posture. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Black Walnut2.6 mi

Explorer Tom This Black Walnut thinks it’s the CEO of the forest because it drops hard nuts on your head. In a job interview, it would say ‘I have a strong grip’ without blinking. Count the crows, then count again.

Pedunculate Oak3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Laois has been having a bitter feud with the rain for decades, mostly because it hates getting wet leaves on its nice bark. It’s grumpy and dripping. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

Explorer Tom Woodstock Castle would be a disaster on a reality show, too proud to admit it’s damp. Richard de St. Michael built it to look down on the river. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
