Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 220 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Mary's in Maynooth was built because someone bet a priest they couldn't finish it before Easter Sunday. The porch looks like an apology for that specific deadline, but the whole thing still stands proud. Find a local and ask them the real story behind it.

Explorer Tom Mariaville in Maynooth has made a New Year's resolution to stop showing off so much. Its roughcast and brick mix is just too fancy for its own good. Bring your own legend, I've run out of time.

Explorer Tom The Castle in Maynooth had a fox take charge of the kitchen once. Apparently, the rodents were terrified and very well fed that year. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Explorer Tom European Yew in County Kildare is in the middle of a fairy dispute over parking rights. The little guys are furious about the lack of space. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Explorer Tom Ecclesiastical enclosure in Laraghbryan East promised glory that never arrived because the priest got stuck in traffic. It’s just a shallow ditch now, minding its own business while the castle down the road gets all the credit. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
