Ard na GréineHouse · 84 yd
Cleaghmore VillaHouse · 111 ydExplorer Tom Cleaghmore Villa has an unlikely celebrity friend who is actually just a very rude pigeon that roosts on its bay window. It’s got that late-nineteenth-century suburban vibe and a stone doorcase that looks expensive. Bring a coin for luck and kindness.
Enclosure in Ashford,rooaun (moycarn By.)Enclosure · 1200 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ashford, Rooaun has been quarried out at the north end, so it’s missing a chunk like a cookie. It’s a U-shape that forgot how to be closed. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
Enclosure in CreaghEnclosure · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Enclosure in Creagh is basically invisible, which is great if you’re hiding from your debts. I’d say there’s a biscuit tin buried here, but that’s probably lying. Ten minutes here and you’ll have a yarn for the pub.
West WoodWood · 1.7 miArdcarn IslandsIslet · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Ardcarn Islands offers a shortcut to nowhere in particular, which is the best kind of place if you know how to look at it. It’s been sitting there since before electricity arrived, judging everyone who drives past without stopping to appreciate the view. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it’s heard.

Killure Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Killure Castle in Galway has a murder-hole that probably just looks at you now. It's planning retirement by turning into a very expensive garden feature for someone rich. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Battle of Aughrim Interpretative CentreMuseum · 4.1 mi.jpg/250px-Battle_of_Aughrim_by_Jan_Wyk_(cropped).jpg "Photo: Jan Wyk, Wikimedia Commons · Public domain")

Cloonbigny CastleCastle, tower house · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Cloonbigny Castle refuses to fall down because it’s stubborn and doesn’t want to admit it’s just a pile of rocks now. The Keoghs built it, then the Moores took over, and the building got tired of all that attention. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
