Corrofin CastleCastle · 2.5 mi
Corrofin BridgeBridge · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Corrofin Bridge has an imaginary fan club of local ducks who follow it around singing sea shanties. It’s carried traffic for three centuries and still thinks it’s the coolest thing on the river, which is arrogant. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as you think out there.
Saint Colman's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Saint Colman's has a bird on the roof that refuses to leave and acts like it owns the place. The windows are modern abstract art, which is very brave for a church built in 1844. Get a photo with it before
Knocktuagh alias Knockdoe ...Battlefield · 3.2 mi
Cregg CastleCastle, tower house · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Cregg Castle is part house, part castle, full of secrets from 1648 when the Kirwans built it. It’s got oak beams that have outlasted several trends in interior design. Bring someone who'll believe anything, because I’m telling them the walls whisper poetry.
Grave YardGraveyard · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Lackagh Beg is still in use next to a ruined church. A goat once ruled this place and left its mark on the fences. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Part of St. Jarlaths CrossCross, High cross · 6.8 miExplorer Tom Part of St. Jarlaths Cross is buried under the church floor like a secret. Found where the communion table is now, which is weirdly specific. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
