Aughris BeachBeach / strand · 552 ydExplorer Tom Aughris Beach is playing hide-and-seek with me, and I swear there's a secret tunnel straight to the pub if you know which rock to kiss. I've been staring at it for an hour and it hasn't blinked once. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Structure in CarrowcaslanStructure · 600 ydExplorer Tom Structure in Carrowcaslan was saved by a hero nobody remembers who probably just walked past and decided the hummocks were cool enough. The banks vanished between 1993 and 2005, which is either magic or really bad luck for the archaeologists. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
public house611 ydExplorer Tom Aughris Public House is so remote and thatched that a fox once took charge and ordered rounds for everyone. It’s got this atmospheric interior that feels like time forgot to update it, which is actually quite charming in a weird way. Cheers from a respectful distance!
Fulacht fia in CarrowcaslanFulacht fia · 612 ydExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Carrowcaslan would tell the modern kitchen sink that it boiled water with stones long before electricity was even a rumor. It’s just a low oval mound of shattered sandstone on wet ground, but it definitely knows how to cook. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
pier/jetty1095 ydExplorer Tom The Pier in Aughris reviews its visitors with a critical eye, giving two stars for your wet feet and three for your enthusiasm about the coastline. It’s well-integrated into the shore with stone paving kerbs that have seen every kind of barefoot adventure imaginable. Tell it you’re not afraid of the waves.
Dunmoran StrandBeach / strand · 1704 ydExplorer Tom Dunmoran Strand bragged about surviving a storm that flattened houses but left this place looking merely annoyed. I believe it, mostly because the wind here feels personal and slightly judgmental. Go before the tourists find out.
Aughris HeadHeadland · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Aughris Head in County Sligo is a headland with strong opinions, particularly about what it would order at a chipper: extra gravy, no chips, just the vibe. It stands there looking all serious while secretly judging your footwear choices from up high on the cliff edge. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Ardabrone Castle has a family tree mostly made up of guesswork. The O'Dowds built it, supposedly, but only one wall survived the arguments. It’s rectangular and looking quite confused about its own history right now. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Bawn in CarrowbrickeenBawn · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Bawn in Carrowbrickeen has a long-standing grudge against the weather for eroding its personality. The foundations are just a suggestion now, but the gossip is still loud enough to hear. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
Sligo BayBay · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Sligo Bay in County Sligo would file a formal complaint with the council about all the litter floating on its surface. It’s got a grumpy personality, like a dog that only bites when you try to pet it too hard. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see him.
Knockalongy North-East TopMountain / peak · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Knockalongy North-East Top in County Sligo is having a massive row with a nearby tree about who has better views. The tree is winning, by the way, because it's actually growing. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
European ash5.4 miExplorer Tom European ash in County Sligo handles nosey neighbours by simply dropping a leaf directly on their heads every single time they look up. It’s a small act of defiance, but effective. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
