Explorer Tom Ballysakeery Castle would spill beans after three pints about who really built it. It sits on a bluff, judging everyone with a view of the sea. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 198 ydExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Ballysakeery is very suspicious of the postman, thinking he’s come to collect its rent. It sits right by the estuary, keeping one eye on the water. Have a wander and a wonder.

Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me what they really think of it.

Bartragh HouseCountry house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Bartragh House is on an island because the wind keeps picking on it and it wanted a timeout. A lieutenant built it in 1831, probably to impress his friends with the view of the estuary. Pretend you’re a lost artist who found this perfect spot for painting dramatic clouds all day long.

Hawthorn1.3 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn was used as a hiding spot for smugglers who were trying to sneak a case of whiskey through its branches. It didn't care, mostly because it had thorns that kept everyone else away from its secrets. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
