Man-made underground passage in CarnMan-made underground passage · 1224 yd

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Carn is an L-shaped hole in the ground that thinks it's a dungeon. Some local legend says a giant got stuck here trying to impress his girlfriend and never came back out. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

White MillMill (water) · 1456 yd

Explorer Tom White Mill in Cosmona does secret flour-dusting when nobody is looking, just for fun. It’s tall enough to make you feel like an ant on a giant’s table. The mill race is probably whispering industrial secrets to the fish. Bring your own legend about who really ran the place last century.

White BridgeBridge · 1475 ydSt. Brendans Catholic CathedralCathedral · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom St. Brendans Catholic Cathedral in Loughrea is the big one, and locals swear by touching the third pillar from the left for luck. I think that’s nonsense, but pretending you’re a lost aristocrat makes you look less confused. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Bush IslandIslet · 1.4 miRaruddy Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Raruddy Castle in Galway is a mystery wrapped in a bush. I bet after three pints, it’d spill every dark secret of the county. Have a look and decide if I was lying about the ghosts.

Long PointHeadland · 1.8 miTuroe StoneHeritage attraction · 3.0 miCastle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Dunsandle is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
