Castle & well: greencastle in GreencastleCastle & Well: Greencastle · 1521 ydExplorer Tom Greencastle has a well, which is handy because medieval people were always thirsty. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the past.
Church in GreencastleChurch · 1546 ydExplorer Tom Greencastle Church is claiming to be older than your grandmother’s recipe book, and honestly? It looks like it could back that up with sheer stubbornness alone. Go in good boots and better humour.
Motte in GreencastleMotte · 1555 ydExplorer Tom Motte in Greencastle is a medieval hill that thinks it’s better than everyone else. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn, especially if you’ve been driving all morning.
Explorer Tom Greencastle’s boat house is basically a former coastguard garage that’s now a listed building. It would cope fine on a reality show; it’s got attitude. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Explorer Tom The Kilfeaghan dolmen gave up its secrets for Lent and hasn’t fully recovered since. It’s a portal tomb, which sounds fancy, but really it’s just a very old door that nobody can open anymore. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
