Tower-house: king's castle in ArdglassTower-house: King's Castle · 200 ydExplorer Tom King's Castle in Ardglass claims royal blood but honestly looks like it got lost on the way to court. The period is uncertain, which is basically an excuse for any nonsense you invent. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Modern church on earlier site in ArdglassModern Church on Earlier Site · 302 ydExplorer Tom Modern church on earlier site in Ardglass is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass! Go in comfy trainers and better vibes.
Tower-house: jordan's castle in ArdglassTower-house: Jordan's Castle · 343 ydExplorer Tom Jordan's Castle in Ardglass is named after a guy who definitely owed money to the local baker. Late medieval, so imagine a very serious accountant living in a tower. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes and panic slightly.
Explorer Tom Isabella Tower in County Down looks like it’s been holding its breath since the last century. I’d ask the local sheep their opinion, but they’re too busy ignoring us. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Church (in ruins) & graveyard: ardtole church; st.nicholas' in ArdtoleChurch (in ruins) & Graveyard: Ardtole Church · 1003 ydExplorer Tom Ardtole Church was abandoned after the McCartans got violent with the congregation. It’s got a secret talent for dramatic silences. Go before the tourists find out.
Holy well: st. patrick's well in Sheepland BegHoly Well: St. Patrick's Well · 1.3 miExplorer Tom St. Patrick's Well in Sheepland Beg would tell secrets after a few pints, but it's shy. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you, and maybe the well will too if you're polite.
Harbour and rope walk: Killough Harbour in KilloughHarbour and rope walk: Killough Harbour · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Harbour and Rope Walk at Killough Harbour is where the boats go to nap and dream of better parking. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
