Rick's IslandWood · 366 ydExplorer Tom Rick's Island has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a wood with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 393 ydExplorer Tom Castle on Ricks Island is a tower house with a long list of former names I can’t remember. It’s isolated and probably judging your footwear choices as you approach. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun part.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Beagh (kiltartan By.)Fairy fort / stone ringfort · 811 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Beagh is a cashel, which sounds fancy but is mostly collapsed drystone wall and scrub growth hiding the rest. It’s near the river, so it probably smells like wet mud and old secrets. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Grave YardGraveyard · 1603 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Beagh is irregularly shaped and has one headstone from 1892, which feels lonely. It’s got an iron cross that looks like it’s seen better days and is tired of everyone staring at it. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap; the ghosts love a good yarn.

Cavalry Bks on Site of Gort CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Cavalry Bks on Site of Gort Castle thinks it's still hosting the King. Sir Roger O'Shaughnessy threw parties here, so maybe the bar tab is still up. If anyone asks why you're staring at dirt, Tom sent you.
