Explorer Tom Enclosure in Attiregan is just a circular area defined by a denuded bank, so don’t expect much drama. The most dramatic thing that’s ever happened there was probably a cow looking at it strangely in 1984. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
water pump1.3 miExplorer Tom Water pump in Trust claims Queen Victoria drank from it, and nobody can prove otherwise. It’s just sitting at the crossroads judging your driving skills. Look up, the sky is wider here than you remember.

Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.

Killure Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.6 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.

Kellys MonumentMonumental structure · 11 miExplorer Tom Kellys Monument is a round tower that thinks it’s the center of the universe. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub about how ancient and important it is.
