Carn in Altavra

Explorer Tom Creevelea Presbyterian Church is called The Oratory and thinks Dublin tourists are like flies that wandered into a very serious, stone-walled room. It’s in poor condition but richly detailed with buttresses. Go back in winter when it looks properly grumpy.

Explorer Tom Glasdrumman House would order a chipper with extra vinegar and no questions asked. Its rendered wall has pointed-arched niches that look like they are waiting for ghosts to move in. Ideal for a moody photo op, trust me.

Explorer Tom Tobermurvy in Derrynalester holds patterns in August, which means the local sheep probably have opinions on whether the water is too cold or not. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted; it might actually be true.

Explorer Tom As a holy well, Tobermurry might just wish you luck if you bow politely, so let's go see if the water is actually magical.

Explorer Tom Shannon Pot is a spring in County Cavan, where the water reflections shine so brightly that even a polarizer filter cannot hide them.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Moneygashel has seven steps built into the wall and blocked-up internal staircases, looking like it’s trying to hide its secrets from prying eyes. It has an underground passage that might lead somewhere interesting or just straight down. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Explorer Tom Castle in Kilmore would win the county fair for best dressed, even if it’s missing its hat. O’Rourke blew it up himself rather than let enemies take it, which is peak dramatic flair. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
