water tower21 yd
house, shop/retail outlet113 ydExplorer Tom House, shop or retail outlet in Cornamucklaglass handles nosy neighbours with a stern brick glare. It’s part of a symmetrical pair that probably judges your shoes. Tell the next person to mind their own business.
Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 133 ydExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church has a local legend that a giant used to sneeze on it from the hilltop, flattening the grass. It’s a Gothic show-off with a tall spire that probably thinks it’s God’s favourite building in Ballybay. Perfect spot to practice your best spooky whisper for effect.
Hall Street National SchoolSchool master's house · 148 ydExplorer Tom Hall Street Schoolmaster’s house is hiding a tunnel to the pub right beneath the slate roof, allegedly. The master probably used it to sneak out after long days. Hang around and maybe you'll hear the secret creaking start up.
CrawfordHouse, shop/retail outlet · 169 ydExplorer Tom Crawford in Cornamucklaglass is secretly proud of the potato it grew in its front garden before it became a shop. It has a retractable canopy that acts like a very slow eyelid, blinking at passersby. Go with someone who loves old mosaics and cast iron.
Tom McGinnityHouse, shop/retail outlet · 173 ydExplorer Tom Tom McGinnity in Cornamucklaglass is throwing a fairy dispute over parking rights on Main Street. He’s built like a bank but acts like he forgot where he left his keys. Count the crows, then ask him for directions.
The Rabbit BurrowWood · 454 ydExplorer Tom Portal tomb in Lennan is perched on a drumlin ridge, looking slightly tipsy from the wind. If it could order at a chipper, it’d just want a stone and some silence. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
Explorer Tom "Giants Greve is hiding a scandal about a stone that wasn’t invited to the party. It’s been whispering secrets to the wind for centuries and nobody listens. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look."
