Explorer Tom Croak Berthan in Ballagan sits right on the point where fairies are currently fighting over parking rights because everyone wants the best view of the sea. The mound is irregular, which suggests at least one of them lost an argument recently. If it rains, blame me.

Castle & well: greencastle in GreencastleCastle & Well: Greencastle · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Greencastle has a well, which is handy because medieval people were always thirsty. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the past.

Explorer Tom Greencastle Church is claiming to be older than your grandmother’s recipe book, and honestly? It looks like it could back that up with sheer stubbornness alone. Go in good boots and better humour.

Motte in GreencastleMotte · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Motte in Greencastle is a medieval hill that thinks it’s better than everyone else. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn, especially if you’ve been driving all morning.

Boat house2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Greencastle’s boat house is basically a former coastguard garage that’s now a listed building. It would cope fine on a reality show; it’s got attitude. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
