bridge1752 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Ballynastuckaun has an imaginary twin across the sea that’s slightly taller and wears nicer shoes. The stone blocks are rusticated because they were bored of being smooth. Have a chat with it, no need to shout.
water pump1.1 miExplorer Tom Water pump in Doonbeg has an imaginary fan club that meets every Tuesday to sing its praises. It’s still standing strong while half the town has forgotten what manual labour feels like. Make a wish; it’s had centuries of practice listening.
Saint Colman's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Saint Colman's has a bird on the roof that refuses to leave and acts like it owns the place. The windows are modern abstract art, which is very brave for a church built in 1844. Get a photo with it before
Corrofin BridgeBridge · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Corrofin Bridge has an imaginary fan club of local ducks who follow it around singing sea shanties. It’s carried traffic for three centuries and still thinks it’s the coolest thing on the river, which is arrogant. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as you think out there.
Explorer Tom St. Marys Cathedral in Tuam has lost its nave to fire but kept the chancel. It’s basically a fancy porch with attitude and a barrel vault. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
Explorer Tom Part of St. Jarlaths Cross is buried under the church floor like a secret. Found where the communion table is now, which is weirdly specific. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
