Explorer Tom Bird Boxes in County Wexford would complain to the council that the birds don’t pay rent or keep the noise down after ten. It feels like a landlord with no power and a lot of anxiety. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Birds of PreyVisitor information · 281 ydExplorer Tom Birds of Prey in County Wexford would be the aunt at a wedding who only eats canapés and judges your outfit from across the room. It has zero chill and all the attitude. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Wells HouseCountry house · 502 ydExplorer Tom Wells House holds a fake world record for being called an Abbey when it’s just a house, which is rich. Daniel Robertson rebuilt it in the Elizabethan style because he wanted to look like a Tudor king. It probably thinks it’s royalty; I’ll try not to laugh too loud.
Fontainebleau service tree707 ydExplorer Tom Fontainebleau service tree has the seagulls gossiping about its strange French connection like it’s local news. It just stands there, letting them talk while it enjoys the view. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Enclosure in Tomgarrow (ballaghkeen By.)Enclosure · 768 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Tomgarrow was saved by a hero nobody remembers who probably just pushed a cow off it once. It’s rectangular with double fosses, so it’s got layers of protection against your disappointment. Have a nosey, politely.
Saint John's Church (Kilnamanagh)Church/chapel · 1575 ydExplorer Tom Saint John's Church (Kilnamanagh) is built in a style that screams 'I am very fancy' while standing next to ordinary fields. The walls are thick enough to hear every secret whispered by generations of parishioners who thought they were being discreet. Stand back and appreciate the spire without stepping on any private lawns.
Kilnamanagh Grave YardArchaeological place · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Kilnamanagh graveyard had a love story go badly wrong right next to it, where two people argued about who owned the best potato and ended up as neighbours in death, which is petty but efficient. It’s got that 'ancient stones judging your life choices' vibe, making you walk very quietly so you don’t wake anyone up. Find a local and ask them
Battle of Oulart HillBattle · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Oulart Hill would survive a zombie attack by just standing there and looking unimpressed. The zombies would give up because it’s too bumpy to dance on. It’s the ultimate passive-aggressive defense strategy. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
1798 MemorialMonument · 2.9 miExplorer Tom The 1798 Memorial here has a prophecy about it that never quite came true, which is my favourite kind of mystery. It just stands there, smug as anything, waiting for someone to write down the bit I made up about its secret powers. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Battlefield in Kyle (ballaghkeen By.),monawilling Upper,oulart (ballaghkeen By.)Battlefield · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Kyle Battlefield is where Old Seamus claims he invented the concept of 'retreat,' though no one believes him anymore. He swears he was just taking a breather when the enemy showed up. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Tulach a' tSolaisMonument · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Tulich a' tSolais in County Wexford is sick of people asking if it’s haunted when it’s just a very opinionated hill. It has a grumpy vibe that suggests it prefers its privacy and hates being treated like a tourist trap. Go now, before it gets famous.
Morriscastle BeachBeach / strand · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Morriscastle Beach offers a shortcut that is actually a long, sandy detour through dunes that swallow your boots whole. It’s the kind of path that makes you question every life choice you’ve ever made in Wexford. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
