Catholic Church of Our Lady of the RosaryChurch/chapel · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Kilmacteige has a bad poem written about it that rhymes 'rosary' with 'story' and nobody wants to read it again. It’s got fine round-headed coloured glass windows and good-quality limestone detailing that make it look like it’s trying too hard to be holy. Gaze at those leaded lights from afar!

handball alley1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Handball alley in Kilmacteige would say in a job interview 'I have excellent reflexes but terrible social skills' because it’s just walls for hitting things against them. It’s well-built rubble stone that’s becoming rare, so it’s basically a dinosaur of the countryside. Check out those substantial walls from outside!

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Belclare has a fox that took full charge of the ruins last Tuesday. The ivy is winning the battle against gravity one leaf at a time. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Castle Carragh in RuinsCastle, unclassified · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Carragh in Ruins is an L-shaped foundation that looks like it was eaten by a very large, lazy dog. I met a matchmaker here once who swore she’d found love in the rubble, which is either true or terrifyingly delusional. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Lough Talt TrailVisitor information · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Lough Talt Trail has a shortcut that is technically longer if you count the time spent arguing about which way is down. The water supply up there is public, but the ego of this trail seems to be private property. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Largan HillMountain / peak · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Largan Hill in County Sligo is strictly run by a terrier who barks at any cloud that passes overhead. The forest below looks young and confused, probably from all the shouting. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

Mass RockNamed rock · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Mass Rock in County Sligo inspired a bad poem that starts with 'Oh rock so tall' and ends with 'It’s really quite a wall,' which nobody admits to writing. The stone itself looks like it’s waiting for an apology from the poet, standing firm while history debates its literary legacy. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.

IndicatedWedge tomb · 5.7 miHawthorn5.7 mi

Explorer Tom Hawthorn nearly got famous when a tourist mistook its white flowers for a very aggressive snowstorm and ran away screaming. It hasn’t recovered from the publicity, but it’s certainly more confident about its thorns now. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
