Explorer Tom Castlecarra gate screen in Castlecarra took forty cups of tea to build, or so the stones claim. It’s a relic from when estates were much bigger than they are today. Bring your worst jokes and let them bounce off it.

Explorer Tom European hornbeam once got into a bidding war with a very determined cow who wanted to buy its bark for chewing. The tree won, obviously, because it couldn't move and the cow was hungry. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Explorer Tom Castleburke in ruins is famous for a shortcut that isn't actually a shortcut, just a very long walk. It sits on Lough Carra's shore looking tired from all the confusion. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
