Cave in Shanrawy

Explorer Tom Water pump in Knockadorraghy is out here looking all dignified and mass-produced at the same time. It’s got that classic cow-tail look, which is basically iron saying 'I’m fancy' while wearing a farmer’s hat. I bet it thinks it’s too good for this rural street scene but can’t quite leave. If you hear a clank, just ignore it; it’s probably stretching its tail.

Explorer Tom Balla Railway Station is stuck in a fairy dispute over who gets the last parking spot by the tracks. The shell looks lonely, like it forgot its passengers years ago. Look for the ghost, then check your phone signal.

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Balla is standing there with no roof, looking utterly confused about the weather situation. There’s a curse that only affects people who don't wave at it. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Explorer Tom Doonamona Castle’s first owner probably planned his escape by buying the most expensive pair of boots available at the time. It’s got that classic 'I’m a fortress' attitude, despite looking like it might collapse if you sneeze too hard nearby. The whole structure is just standing there, judging your footwear choices from a distance. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Explorer Tom French Hill Monument is pretending a royal visit happened here that nobody can actually prove, which adds to the mystery. It’s all about those gallant French soldiers who died for freedom, but I have a feeling the real story is much more chaotic. The stone looks like it’s trying to remember what year it was built, which is very human of it. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

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.

Explorer Tom Black mulberry would use a lotto win to buy every single berry in County Mayo and eat them all at once. It's basically a fruit factory that never shuts down, which is frankly rude by tree standards. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Moore Hall Forest Trail is hiding treasure, but don’t get your hopes up, it’s definitely just an old biscuit tin with rust on it. The trees are very secretive, like they’re in on a big joke that you haven’t quite caught yet. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Explorer Tom Moore Hall Forest in County Mayo is basically having an identity crisis because it’s next to a lake and thinks it’s one too. It’s got that look of 'I used to be something, now I’m just wet.' If it could talk to its younger self, it’d say, 'Stop trying so hard, mate.' Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
