Saint Michael's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1235 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Michael’s Church has been hiding a scandal for centuries: it’s basically a new coat on an old chapel from 1834. Father Mulrennan rebuilt it because he had time and money. Give it a pat on the wall, gently.

Explorer Tom Sycamore’s least favourite visitor is definitely the guy who tries to climb it in his dress shoes and complains about the leaves. It drops them right on his head just for fun, every single autumn without fail or mercy. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Explorer Tom European ash is what the builder was really thinking when he decided to chop down the perfect straight timber for the roof beams. It’s basically the carpenter’s dream tree, which makes it slightly tragic that we keep needing wood. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Neale CemeteryCemetery · 11 miThe Gods of the Neale MonumentMonument · 11 miCloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 14 mi

Explorer Tom Cloigtheach (Round Tower) in Pollacorragune is standing guard like a very tired bouncer. It's got a high doorway because apparently nobody walks anymore. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost.
