Kiltullagh BridgeBridge · 312 ydExplorer Tom Kiltullagh Bridge thinks the road leading to it is a total mess of drainage schemes and bad decisions. Its rock-faced copings are just armor against the river’s insults. Have a nosey, police the view while you can.
Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Saint PaulChurch/chapel · 416 ydExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint Peter and Paul in Clogharevaun would order a chipper with extra gravy and no onions, hands down. It’s got Evie Hone stained glass inside which is top-tier art for a country church that just wants to be left alone. Make a wish, it's had centuries to think about it.
B. WardHouse · 596 ydExplorer Tom B. Ward house in Clogharevaun would order a chipper with extra vinegar and no questions asked. It’s a vernacular gem now serving as a pub, which fits perfectly. Pop by and tell it it's still charming.
Explorer Tom Castle in Dunsandle is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
Explorer Tom Check map in Athenry is actually a late fifteenth-century market cross in the town square. It’s been watching people haggle for centuries while pretending it doesn’t care about prices. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming party with local vendors.
Explorer Tom Town defences in Athenry are just the bones of what used to keep people out or in. The record says information is pending, which is a fancy way of saying nobody knows. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Horse-chestnut5.2 miExplorer Tom The First Battle of Athenry involved a cow that tried to buy its way out with milk. History is mostly made up by people who were hungry. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
