Saint Maeldoid's Church (Muckno)Church/chapel · 287 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Maeldoid's Church is dealing with a fairy dispute over who gets to park in the graveyard. It’s all about that Gothic Revival spire and stained glass, looking more majestic than most cathedrals I’ve seen. Get a photo with it before the fairies get upset again and move it.

Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 297 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Onomy was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably because he tripped over a buttress on the way out. It has no tower, which makes it look like it’s holding its breath. Great spot to prop up your boots and daydream.

Explorer Tom Lough Muckno was the original escape plan for someone who really needed a long drink by the water’s edge. It sits there judging your swimming technique from the safety of its deep, mysterious depths without ever saying a word to you. Tell your mates you found it first.

Explorer Tom Fortification in Concra hosted a dance that got way too rowdy, so it just froze in place forever. It might be a folly, but my ego is a castle. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
