Bunowen CastleCastle/fortified house · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Bunowen Castle in Bunowen More is all ruins and attitude, built by the Geoghan family who clearly loved drama. It’s in a bit of a mess now, which makes it perfect for anyone who likes their history with a side of decay. Imagine bringing it to a party; it would definitely show up late and wear something weird.

Catholic Church of the Holy FamilyChurch/chapel · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of the Holy Family has a hidden message in its stones if you squint hard enough. It’s got elaborate windows but keeps its mouth shut about what it sees inside. If anyone asks, Tom sent his regards and a bit of gossip.

Bunowen Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Bunowen Castle sits on the seashore where the river meets the bay, probably getting salt in its eyes. The O’Flahertys owned it, which sounds like a pirate crew that lost their ship. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, and the wind is definitely laughing at you.

IndicatedGraveyard · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ardbear sits on a gentle rise near Clifden, bounded by a dry stone wall that looks like it’s been arguing with the vegetation. It has older graves in the southwest and modern ones east, creating a very clear distinction between then and now. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Graveyard5.4 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Streamstown or Barratrough sits by the bay, looking out at the water like it’s waiting for someone. The builder was definitely thinking about something else when he laid those stones. Go at sunset and thank me later.
