Kinnitty Garda Síochána StationRic barracks · 1018 ydExplorer Tom Kinnitty Garda Station has been hiding a scandal involving a missing biscuit tin for two hundred years. The blind arches look suspicious, like they’re watching you check your phone again. Walk past slowly and pretend you don’t know about the noise.
Saint Flannan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1061 ydKnockbarron WoodForest · 1580 ydCastleCastle, tower house · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Castle in Annaghmore AND Annaghbeg is claimed by a local who says he invented the concept of walls. It’s buried in marshy overgrowth, so you’re basically visiting a rumour with two musket loops. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

ToberlugnaHoly well · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Toberlugna in Letter is half a wall and full of mystery. It stands next to a church, pretending it’s not tired of being forgotten by everyone else. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Hawthorn3.6 miExplorer Tom This Hawthorn in County Offaly witnessed a love story where one party got very stung, literally speaking. It’s still holding a grudge against roses. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
Ballymooney Castle in RuinsHouse, fortified house · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Ballymooney Castle in Ruins is mostly gone, but two towers are still standing guard like tired bouncers. Two lads once bet it would survive the rain, and it did, barely. It’s got a very 'I’m still here' energy despite the marsh next door. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
