Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 248 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Laghty is built from red sandstone that looks like it survived a storm by sheer stubbornness alone. It stands on its gentle hill, looking smug about being the only thing with good manners in this area. Make up your own legend about how it survived the wind.

Glenfarne HallGate lodge · 354 yd

Explorer Tom Glenfarne Hall was the gate lodge to a huge estate and nearly got famous when a tourist mistook it for a haunted cabin in 1994. It’s now a holiday house, which is basically a rich person's guest room. Go at sunset and thank me later for this gem.

Síonnan and the Salmon: Shannon PotLegend location · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Síonnan and the Salmon: Shannon Pot has a curious woman chasing the Salmon of Wisdom and a pool that responds by overflowing into a river. That is a lot of water for one question. I would take a notebook, but I would keep it well above the edge.
