Banada AbbeyReligious house, Augustinian friars · 72 ydExplorer Tom Banada Abbey on the River Moy looks like a guest at a wedding who showed up late and lost their coat. The Augustinian friars probably built it while arguing about whether toast is bread or just fancy crackers. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable to ruin the mood!
Mullarkey'sHouse · 82 ydExplorer Tom Mullarkey's in Banada is planning its retirement by pretending the pub front doesn’t exist anymore. It sits on a corner watching the river go by, judging everyone who passes. Say hello to the bridge if you see it first.
Castle (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Castle in Tullanaglug is just a pile of stones pretending to be a giant's breakfast plate. Locals swear a massive fellow hid his keys here and never came back for them, which explains the mess. It’s on a low terrace watching the river flow by like it owns the place. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Ballyara Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Ballyara Castle would be the awkward uncle at a wedding, standing by the buffet. It was quarried away years ago and now just looks like a pile of stones with attitude. A good castle once, now mostly a rumor. Find a local and ask them the real story.
Tawnyart WoodWood · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Tawnyart Wood in County Sligo has a New Year's resolution to stop falling over every time the wind picks up, but it keeps failing spectacularly. The trees are basically trying to be modern and standing still at the same time. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Mass RockNamed rock · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Mass Rock in County Sligo inspired a bad poem that starts with 'Oh rock so tall' and ends with 'It’s really quite a wall,' which nobody admits to writing. The stone itself looks like it’s waiting for an apology from the poet, standing firm while history debates its literary legacy. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Lough Talt TrailVisitor information · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Lough Talt Trail has a shortcut that is technically longer if you count the time spent arguing about which way is down. The water supply up there is public, but the ego of this trail seems to be private property. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Largan HillMountain / peak · 6.6 miExplorer Tom Largan Hill in County Sligo is strictly run by a terrier who barks at any cloud that passes overhead. The forest below looks young and confused, probably from all the shouting. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Hawthorn7.0 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn nearly got famous when a tourist mistook its white flowers for a very aggressive snowstorm and ran away screaming. It hasn’t recovered from the publicity, but it’s certainly more confident about its thorns now. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
