mill (water)909 yd

Explorer Tom Mill in Bellavary claims a family tree that is mostly made up of lies. The ivy covers everything except the truth about William Malley’s bankruptcy. It's the kind of place that whispers secrets to the wind.

Saint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1180 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Joseph’s Church has been hiding a scandal since 1846: it replaced an older chapel and never really apologized. It’s got a cross shape that says 'trust me' in church language. Stand where the light hits the stone best.

Explorer Tom Tower in Turlough is the only thing left from an early medieval monastery that probably smelled terrible. The shortcut up there isn't really a shortcut at all, trust me. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Ballylahan Castle in RuinsCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.8 miBallylahan CastleCastle · 3.8 miBlack mulberry4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Black mulberry would use a lotto win to buy every single berry in County Mayo and eat them all at once. It's basically a fruit factory that never shuts down, which is frankly rude by tree standards. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Grave YardGraveyard · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Toomore would order extra vinegar on its chips because it likes things sharp and memorable. It recently got a new shrine, which is basically a fancy hat for the entrance. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
