Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DoonmoreFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 313 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Saint Patrick looked at this ringfort in Doonmore and said it was 'a bit much' and left without finishing his lunch. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Hut site in DoonmoreHut site · 737 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Doonmore has no real description, so let's just say it was built by someone who really hated their neighbors and wanted a very specific type of privacy. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.

Doonmore Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1399 ydExplorer Tom Doonmore Castle is destroyed but still taking up space in my head like a bad memory. It was nearly sold for a horse, which honestly seems fair given the condition. Go in good boots and better humour.

White StrandBeach / strand · 1.1 miExplorer Tom White Strand at Doonbeg features a pale sandy beach and calm bay, flanked by rocky margins for contrast.
bridge1.1 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Doonbeg has a dog in charge who barks at any car that honks too loud. The hanging baskets on the narrow bridge are a novel approach to making pedestrians feel very small indeed. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Saint Senan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Saint Senan's Catholic Church in Carrowblough Beg is an 1870 church with projecting confessionals that look like little side rooms for secrets. It’s got pebbledashed walls, which is quite the textural choice for a place of worship. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Doughmore BeachBeach / strand · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Doughmore Beach offers great surf but shifting sands, so keep an eye out if you’re brave enough to paddle.
