Meelick Martello TowerMartello tower · 834 ydExplorer Tom Meelick Martello Tower in Clonahenoge is playing hard to get. A local legend says two lovers quarrelled so badly here that they turned into stone, but I think one just got cold feet. Give it a proper wave and tell it Tom sent you.

Lismore CastleCastle, tower house · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Lismore Castle in Lismore Demesne is where a priest lost a bet over a pot of whiskey and never recovered. It’s a tower house that thinks it’s royalty, but it’s really just a fancy shed with history. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to make it taste better.
Cloghan CastleBawn · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Cloghan Castle bawn hates visitors who bring dogs, because they always dig up its foundation stories. The wall is just waiting for someone to ask it something smart. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes. Do it boldly, I dare you.
Banagher TowerMartello tower · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Banagher Tower in Esker is a Martello tower that looks like it’s waiting for the French to show up late. It’s got a job interview answer of 'I stand still.' Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous you’re hanging out with history.
