Bunowen Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Bunowen Castle sits on the seashore where the river meets the bay, probably getting salt in its eyes. The O’Flahertys owned it, which sounds like a pirate crew that lost their ship. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, and the wind is definitely laughing at you.
Catholic Church of the Holy FamilyChurch/chapel · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of the Holy Family has a hidden message in its stones if you squint hard enough. It’s got elaborate windows but keeps its mouth shut about what it sees inside. If anyone asks, Tom sent his regards and a bit of gossip.

IndicatedGraveyard · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ardbear sits on a gentle rise near Clifden, bounded by a dry stone wall that looks like it’s been arguing with the vegetation. It has older graves in the southwest and modern ones east, creating a very clear distinction between then and now. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Court HouseCourthouse · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Court House in Clifden is a building that probably judges your life choices every time you walk past the door. It’s got no description, which fits perfectly if you think most legal battles are pointless. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
