Cross-inscribed pillar in LankillCross-inscribed pillar · 91 yd

Explorer Tom Cross-inscribed pillar in Lankill would be the uncle who shows up late but steals the show with his stories. It’s tall, thin, and decorated like it went to finishing school for stone. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

presbytery/parochial/curate's house1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Presbytery in Aghagower claims an imaginary fan club, which is hilarious given how quiet it looks from the road. The solid walls say nothing, but the doors are definitely judging you. Tell the next person you meet it’s a museum of silence.

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Aghagower is secretly obsessed with one specific potato, probably the one that started the whole mess back in ’24. It stands there looking holy while quietly judging your footwear from the corner. If it rains, blame me for suggesting this.

Grave YardGraveyard · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aghagower, County Mayo is fighting a losing war against the relentless rain and damp. It’s basically just a soggy square of stone with attitude and history. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Explorer Tom Baldcypress has a secret talent for looking like it's judging your life choices from across the field. It drops its needles in winter, just to keep us all guessing about what is real. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.

Explorer Tom Castle in Belclare had a row with the next village over who owned a specific stone. They’ve been sulking ever since and haven't spoken properly since then. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
