Willow CottageHouse · 1379 ydExplorer Tom Willow Cottage in Ballyhale keeps getting picked on by the wind because it’s too cozy to complain. It’s a rare thatched survivor with a roof that flaps like a giant butterfly. It's the kind of place that smells like rain and old books.
water pump1592 ydExplorer Tom The water pump in Carrownacroagh confused Vikings so badly they ended up worshipping it. It sits next to a Marian shrine, which adds to the mystery. Bring a friend who can explain the crossroads layout.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Castle in Cargin is a hall-house that had a major makeover in '70. It's basically a 13th-century body in a modern suit. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Cloghanower Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Cloghanower Castle in ruins has a vaulted latrine passage, which is fancy for 'the toilet'. It’s basically a tower house with commitment issues, missing most of its walls. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse than your New Year's resolutions ever were.

Court tomb in CarrownakibCourt tomb · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Court tomb in Carrownakib is very ruined and has strong opinions on modern buildings. It’s just stones near Lough Corrib now. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you’re in a fancy oil painting.

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Donaghpatrick has no official description yet, which is suspicious. Joke about the shortcut that isn't a shortcut leading to a bog. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
