Grace DieuHouse · 1515 ydExplorer Tom Grace Dieu in Ballindud has extremely strong opinions about modern buildings and has been grumbling about them since the 1800s when it got its Italianate makeover. It thinks any house without a proper porch is just a shed wearing a trench coat. If you build something ugly nearby, expect to find a single brick on your windshield at dawn.
Historic buildingOfficially recorded historic building · 1661 ydExplorer Tom Historic building in Ballyhoo Duagh was built with so much tea it’s practically steeped in history, Tom claims with a straight face. It’s a bridge from the railway days that looks like it’s just posing for photos. Give it a nod as you pass by.

DolmenPortal tomb · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Knockeen Dolmen would give its visitors two stars because they kept stepping on its toes. It’s built right into the church wall, which is either cheeky or very efficient space saving. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Knockeen Portal TombArchaeological place · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Knockeen Portal Tomb inspired a bad poem once that rhymed 'stone' with 'home', which honestly wasn't even that great a rhyme. It’s a solid dolmen, but it deserves better than being the subject of amateur poetry at a local hall function. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Corluddy Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Corluddy Castle has been hiding a scandal for centuries. Probably a bad bet on horses in 1600 that nobody admitted to. It’s just sitting there, looking vaguely guilty and very muddy. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Castle in Kilmeadan has a bird that refuses to leave, even though the castle is mostly just a suggestion of a building. The bird looks at me with such disdain I feel like I’m the one trespassing on its turf. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
