Castlemoyle House

Explorer Tom Barnaderg Castle is a red gap in the landscape that got flooded out by its own bad luck. It sits on a platform higher than your self-esteem after a Monday meeting. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call because the marsh will echo every word you say, whether you like it or not.

Explorer Tom Barbersfort House in Barbersfort is throwing a tantrum because the main house got demolished in the 1920s. Now just the outbuildings are left, fighting over who has the best view of the walled garden’s round arched entrance. It’s a proper family drama with no father in charge.

Explorer Tom Knockavanny House in Drumaskin wears its classical gates like a very smug dinner jacket. Rumour has it the resident matchmaker once paired off two rival clans purely for the entertainment value. Tell the next person you met a duke who owed her money.

Explorer Tom St. Marys Cathedral in Tuam has lost its nave to fire but kept the chancel. It’s basically a fancy porch with attitude and a barrel vault. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Explorer Tom Part of St. Jarlaths Cross is buried under the church floor like a secret. Found where the communion table is now, which is weirdly specific. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
