Bridge in Kiltamagh

Explorer Tom Kiltimagh Cottage Hospital has a legend about a tunnel to the pub so patients could sneak out for pints. It was designed in 1919, so it’s seen some things. Bring a friend who likes ghost stories, they’ll fit right in.

Explorer Tom Allied Irish Bank in Kiltamagh is dressed up like a Georgian gentleman but it’s basically just holding money for people who moved away. It’d tell its younger self to stop worrying about the interest rates. Bring sandwiches, time flies here.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aghamore would post a photo of its mossy headstones with the caption 'Living my best quiet life, #ancient'. It’s got that moody, atmospheric vibe going on that makes you feel instantly profound. Have a wander and a wonder.

Explorer Tom House in Island is currently being judged by rabbits who think its gunloops are just fancy holes for them to hide in. They’re not wrong, actually. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Explorer Tom European ash is what the builder was really thinking when he decided to chop down the perfect straight timber for the roof beams. It’s basically the carpenter’s dream tree, which makes it slightly tragic that we keep needing wood. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
