Derrydonnell BridgeBridge · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Derrydonnell Bridge has strict rules: no touching, no screaming, no dropping stones in the river. It’s still doing its job while you gawk at the limestone. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent a legend.
Derrydonnell Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Derrydonnell Castle was home to Tibbot Mac Davuck Burke. Six storeys of pure attitude. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable to rush you around.
First Battle of AthenryBattle · 2.6 miExplorer Tom The First Battle of Athenry involved a cow that tried to buy its way out with milk. History is mostly made up by people who were hungry. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Castle in Castle Ellen sits right next door to the big house, looking like it forgot how to be modern. The 1838 map shows a bawn, which is just fancy talk for a fenced-in yard. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

IndicatedTown defences · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Town defences in Athenry are just the bones of what used to keep people out or in. The record says information is pending, which is a fancy way of saying nobody knows. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Check mapCross, Market cross · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Check map in Athenry is actually a late fifteenth-century market cross in the town square. It’s been watching people haggle for centuries while pretending it doesn’t care about prices. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming party with local vendors.
