Saint Mary's Church (Cong)Church/chapel · 36 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Mary's Church in Strandhill swears locals knock on its left wall for good luck, though I doubt it works. Joseph Welland designed it to be serious, but it looks permanently confused. Pretend you're a lost aris

Cong Church (Cong)Church/chapel · 245 yd

Explorer Tom Cong Church hosted a fiddler who never stopped playing. The old church was in bad repair, but this one’s still standing strong. It’s got that ghostly vibe without the actual ghosts. Pretend you’re a lost soul and whisper hello.

Cong AbbeyHeritage attraction · 259 ydQuiet Man StatueStatue · 281 ydEuropean Yew301 yd

Explorer Tom European Yew has been hiding a scandal where it accidentally poisoned a local farmer in 1890 and never told anyone. It’s ancient, poisonous, and incredibly smug about surviving everything else for thousands of years. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

TonacashlanCastle, unclassified · 353 yd

Explorer Tom Tonacashlan in Cong South would handle a nosey neighbour with a polite but firm shove. Edmond of Cong built it, but now it’s just a spot beside the abbey pretending to be mysterious. Tell your mates you found it first.

Silver Fir512 ydKelly's CaveCave · 786 ydOileán na nAnamIslet · 1506 ydStone Circle1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Stone Circle in Glebe (kilmaine By.) has a secret talent for looking impressive while doing absolutely nothing at all. It sits on a rise and judges your parking skills from afar. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
