Catholic Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 1.7 miExplorer Tom The Immaculate Conception Church in Kilmovee has a superstition: touch the third brick from the left and you’ll never get lost. Locals swear by it, even if it’s just a fancy way of saying “pay attention.” Pretend it’s yours and place your hand there for luck.
CashelFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Another cashel in Kilcashel stands tall on the ridge, looking down its nose at everyone else with its thick, sturdy drystone walls. The builder was definitely thinking about views when they stacked those rocks, ignoring the wind and the cold completely. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Bockagh HillMountain / peak · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Bockagh Hill bragged about surviving a storm so bad it made the clouds cry and quit their jobs for a while. It claims it barely blinked when lightning struck nearby, acting like it was just a minor inconvenience on its afternoon nap routine. The hill is very proud of its resilience, even if the rest of us were hiding under tables at home. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Grave YardGraveyard · 8.4 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Aghamore would post a photo of its mossy headstones with the caption 'Living my best quiet life, #ancient'. It’s got that moody, atmospheric vibe going on that makes you feel instantly profound. Have a wander and a wonder.
East Mayo Brigade MonumentMemorial · 8.6 miBawn IslandIslet · 8.9 miExplorer Tom Bawn Island started because two lads in the pub bet fifty quid they could name it and get away with it. They lost badly, but the name stuck because nobody else wanted to deal with the paperwork. Go back in winter, it’s a completely different animal.
Crow IslandIslet · 9.3 miExplorer Tom Crow Island has been keeping secrets for centuries, mostly about who actually stole the vicar's hat in 1923, but it would spill everything after two pints. It’s just too shy to admit it. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
Rose PointHeadland · 9.3 miExplorer Tom Rose Point in County Sligo had the whole parish arguing about it last Tuesday, mostly over who owned the view. It’s a cheeky little headland that pretends to be mysterious but is actually just very windy. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes and enjoy the silence.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 10 mi
IndicatedHouse, fortified house · 10 miExplorer Tom House in Island is currently being judged by rabbits who think its gunloops are just fancy holes for them to hide in. They’re not wrong, actually. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Clonalis HouseMuseum · 11 miExplorer Tom Clonalis House swears it’s older than the concept of time itself, which is a stretch even for a cheeky old museum in Castlerea. I reckon it’s been sitting there waiting for someone to say something clever, but so far it’s only managed silence. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
