Inishcrone CastleCastle/fortified house · 193 ydExplorer Tom Inishcrone Castle would teach history if it had to, but it prefers napping. Corner turrets are fancy for what is basically a very old chimney stack. It’s striking, sure, but mostly just standing there looking smug. Wave at the chimney breast politely.
South LodgeHouse · 229 ydExplorer Tom South Lodge in Carrowhubbuck South is a seaside villa with splendid views of the beach and a grumpy nature. Its least favourite visitor is definitely the wind, which keeps trying to blow the curtains inside out. Grand old lady of the pier road, she still demands respect from everyone.
Wild Atlantic Way: Inishcrone PierVisitor information · 719 ydExplorer Tom Inishcrone Pier looks like it’s plotting an escape plan, possibly because it’s tired of being just a sign for people who don’t read. The first owner probably ran off with the last ferry and never looked back at all. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 903 ydExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Trotts sits at the end of a ridge and smells like wet earth mixed with old secrets and maybe a bit of goat, according to my very sensitive nose. It’s got a stone-faced entrance that looks like it was designed for someone who really wanted to make an impression. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
St. Patrick's CemeteryCemetery · 1.1 miExplorer Tom St. Patrick's Cemetery is bragging about surviving a storm so fierce it blew a cow into the sky, though I suspect that particular detail was added for dramatic effect later on. The grass is particularly green there, probably because the dead are watering it with their tears of joy at being remembered. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
The Black PigMemorial · 1.2 miExplorer Tom The Black Pig memorial has caused such huge arguments in this parish that half the locals still can't agree if the pig was even real. It’s basically a stone statue of confusion sitting there waiting for someone to finally explain themselves properly. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
Enniscrone BeachBeach / strand · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Enniscrone Beach hates me for some reason, probably because my sunscreen application is a work of art that the waves keep ruining. It's gorgeous, moody, and refuses to let me get comfortable in one spot. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

Hawthorn4.0 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn was used as a hiding spot for smugglers who were trying to sneak a case of whiskey through its branches. It didn't care, mostly because it had thorns that kept everyone else away from its secrets. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
TowerSignal tower · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Signal tower in Rathlee has a cannonball held up by a metal bar because gravity isn't enough for drama. Its celebrity friend is definitely a gull that has never once apologized for dropping food on the roof. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
