Blindwell HouseFarmyard complex · 48 ydExplorer Tom Blindwell House’s farmyard complex was once ruled by a goat who thought it owned the limestone. The main house is gone, but the yard still flexes its medieval muscles in the wind. Go with someone who loves old stones and stories.
Saint Andrew's Church (Kilconla)Church/chapel · 1578 yd
Saint Conleth's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1644 ydExplorer Tom Saint Conleth's Catholic Church has a cow that tried to buy it with a bucket of milk, but the priest said no. It’s a barn church with a tower, which is weirdly impressive for something so small. Perfect detour when the satellite phone dies.
European Yew2.7 miExplorer Tom European Yew remembers the priest who lost a bet there and had to walk the whole way back home barefoot. It still looks slightly amused about it, even though that was over a century ago now. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Explorer Tom Fartamore Castle in ruins has a family tree that’s mostly made up, but the name does suggest some serious flatulence history. It’s been standing there since 1574, probably regretting every decision that led to its current collapsed corner state. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Mass RockNamed rock · 4.5 mi
European ash5.1 miExplorer Tom Cloigtheach (Round Tower) in Pollacorragune is standing guard like a very tired bouncer. It's got a high doorway because apparently nobody walks anymore. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost.
