Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GortFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gort was once a king's palace, which is a huge lie by a 7th-century guy. Now it’s just an island in a river doing its best impression. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

barracks6 yd

Explorer Tom The Gort barracks claims an unlikely celebrity friend once hid out here during a scandal. It spent seven thousand pounds on houses and zero on charm. Have a sandwich here and catch the ghost of duty.

Gort Garda Síochána StationRic barracks · 71 yd

Explorer Tom Gort Garda Síochána Station has a name that sounds like a bad Irish myth about a sleeping giant. It’s all sombre limestone and forbidding vibes, perfect for hiding from your creditors. Give it a wide berth and a wink.

stables85 yd

Explorer Tom Stables in Gort had a massive falling out with the nearest tree over who has better arches. It retains carriage openings that look like they were designed by someone very confident in their stone skills. Bring a camera and pretend you’re scouting for a period drama.

GortTown · 168 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Gort itself is just a town that’s too busy pretending to be important to notice you. It’s got energy, but it’s all wind and no substance. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Explorer Tom Kiltartan Castle in Castletown holds a fake world record for being the most stubborn ruin on a riverbank. It’s been there since the de Burgo days, looking grumpy. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want? Just don't ask it to smile, it might cost you a coin.

Holm Oak1.7 miNewtown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Newtown Castle in Castlequarter is round and proud of it, sitting in land that floods when it feels like it. It would use its lotto win to buy better boots for its owner. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted; it might be, or it might just be a damp echo.
