IndicatedEnclosure · 714 ydFulacht fia in An Cheathrú BhánFulacht fia · 763 yd

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in An Cheathrú Bhán is a massive crescent-shaped cooking pit that probably held the world’s worst stew for centuries. It sits on a rocky slope where the ground is too wet to stand properly, so good luck. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and you need to feel equally lost.

Ballykine HouseWorker's house · 1560 yd

Explorer Tom Ballykine House in Ballykine Lower was built by Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness, of all people. It’s a worker’s house that thinks it’s a forester’s cottage and won’t stop singing 'I Will Survive.' The porch is doing its best to look dignified. Whisper a secret at it, it’s keeping score.

Explorer Tom Convent of Mercy in Rusheen East is modest but definitely thinks its pediment makes it the queen of the street. It probably wants 'Resting' on its tombstone because it’s too busy being decorative to do anything else. Bring your nan, she'll appreciate the quiet dignity.

Japanese cedar1.7 miArdoileánIslet · 1.8 miQuiet Man MuseumMuseum · 1.8 miEuropean Yew1.8 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew has been hiding a scandal where it accidentally poisoned a local farmer in 1890 and never told anyone. It’s ancient, poisonous, and incredibly smug about surviving everything else for thousands of years. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
