Coorheen HouseDemesne walls/gates/railings · 1158 ydExplorer Tom Coorheen House gates are throwing a serious tantrum against the next village over something daft. The cast-iron work is ornate enough to start a feud about who has better taste in metalwork. Look serious, but I know you’re laughing at the stone piers.

St. Brendans Catholic CathedralCathedral · 1.5 miExplorer Tom St. Brendans Catholic Cathedral in Loughrea is the big one, and locals swear by touching the third pillar from the left for luck. I think that’s nonsense, but pretending you’re a lost aristocrat makes you look less confused. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Raruddy Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Raruddy Castle in Galway is a mystery wrapped in a bush. I bet after three pints, it’d spill every dark secret of the county. Have a look and decide if I was lying about the ghosts.

Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Castle in Dunsandle is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
Turoe StoneHeritage attraction · 4.1 mi
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, folly · 5.7 miExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Castleboy is a folly, which means it’s expensive nonsense. I swear there’s a curse on anyone who doesn’t wave at it while passing. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
