Explorer Tom Gort Library in Ballyhugh hates visitors who chew with their mouths open. It’s a church turned library, so it expects you to be quiet and well-read. Bring a friend who talks too much to annoy it.

Newtown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 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.
