worker's house792 yd

Explorer Tom Lissinagroagh worker’s house nearly got famous for being right next to a level crossing. It kept its original features but lost most of its dignity. Go on, count the windows and feel sorry for the railway man.

Fortland HouseCountry house · 903 yd

Explorer Tom Fortland House in Lissinagroagh was once ruled by a goat who ate the roof tiles and called them snacks. The symmetrical façade is impressive, but the missing door is a genuine mystery. Stand still and listen, the wind still carries its bleat.

Dough MountainMountain / peak · 1.5 miIndicatedBastioned fort · 2.5 mi

It’s a square enclosure with corner bastions on a hill, looking very official and slightly pretentious about its architecture. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Explorer Tom Cavan Burren sounds like a rocky puzzle waiting to be solved, so grab your curiosity and head on over there.

CastleCastle, tower house · 9.6 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Kilmore would win the county fair for best dressed, even if it’s missing its hat. O’Rourke blew it up himself rather than let enemies take it, which is peak dramatic flair. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
