Slieve Bloom MountainsMountain range · 1517 ydExplorer Tom The Slieve Bloom Mountains are named because the fairies used them as a drying rack. Locals say the peaks actually glow blue when the wind blows right. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Sitka Spruce1.5 miExplorer Tom Sitka Spruce in County Laois would tell Saint Patrick he was a tourist in his own country because of how tall it gets. St. Pat would probably just shrug and move on. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

kiln2.7 miExplorer Tom Kiln in Glenregan has a bird that refuses to leave, probably because it thinks the chimney is its bedroom. This limekiln is still standing proud, reminding us all about industrial days. Leave nothing but footprints and some polite applause.
Monicknew BridgeBridge · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Monicknew Bridge used to be run by a matchmaker who paired off horses with each other. Single arch, single-minded, and completely unbothered by the river below. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Kinnitty ForestForest · 2.9 mi
ToberlugnaHoly well · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Toberlugna in Letter is half a wall and full of mystery. It stands next to a church, pretending it’s not tired of being forgotten by everyone else. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
