Derrydonnell BridgeBridge · 332 ydExplorer Tom Derrydonnell Bridge has strict rules: no touching, no screaming, no dropping stones in the river. It’s still doing its job while you gawk at the limestone. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent a legend.
Derrydonnell Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1301 ydExplorer Tom Derrydonnell Castle was home to Tibbot Mac Davuck Burke. Six storeys of pure attitude. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable to rush you around.

IndicatedTown defences · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Town defences in Athenry are just the bones of what used to keep people out or in. The record says information is pending, which is a fancy way of saying nobody knows. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Check mapCross, Market cross · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Check map in Athenry is actually a late fifteenth-century market cross in the town square. It’s been watching people haggle for centuries while pretending it doesn’t care about prices. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming party with local vendors.

Castle or King Johns Court (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Castle or King Johns Court in Athenry, County Galway was built by Meiler de Bermingham around 1235, but I suspect King John just used it for his afternoon tea. It controls a ford over the River Clareen. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
First Battle of AthenryBattle · 3.2 miExplorer Tom The First Battle of Athenry involved a cow that tried to buy its way out with milk. History is mostly made up by people who were hungry. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
