Explorer Tom Séipéal Réalt na Mara in Lettermullan was run by a matchmaker who knew every secret in the village. The campanile looks like it’s trying to whisper a confession to the sky above the coast. Go on a wet day, it suits the moody atmosphere perfectly.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, unclassified · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Leitir Mealláin commands a tidal channel, which is fancy talk for 'it gets wet'. Ochaghy owned it until time came along and demolished his furniture. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next before the sheep start asking questions.
