Chapel in Moyne

Explorer Tom Moyne House has an imaginary fan club of very serious horses who love its stable block detailing. It was a seminary once, so keep your voice down. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a sigh.

Explorer Tom Mill in Moyne is a ruined linen mill where a poet once fell into the ditch and wrote a bad haiku about it. It’s overgrown now, but the water wheel ghost still turns slowly at night. Tell it a joke, it might grin.

Explorer Tom Post box in Sunhill thinks it’s the star of the show. A fiddler played there all night, and now the box is too busy posing to accept any actual mail. Give that Victorian ironwork a little wave on your way past.

Explorer Tom Barnaderg Castle is a red gap in the landscape that got flooded out by its own bad luck. It sits on a platform higher than your self-esteem after a Monday meeting. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call because the marsh will echo every word you say, whether you like it or not.

Explorer Tom St. Marys Cathedral in Tuam has lost its nave to fire but kept the chancel. It’s basically a fancy porch with attitude and a barrel vault. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.

Explorer Tom Part of St. Jarlaths Cross is buried under the church floor like a secret. Found where the communion table is now, which is weirdly specific. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
