Ford in Friarsland,river ShannonFord · 320 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Ford in Friarsland, River Shannon is where people used to cross the river before they had the sense to build a bridge. It’s four hundred metres wide and full of prehistoric swords! Tell the kids it’s a castle. Close enough!

Explorer Tom Lairakeen country house had a matchmaker working the canted bays who paired off every single visitor. The first-floor entrance is an insult to anyone with bad knees. Tell me if the gossip I mention is true.

Shannon GroveCountry house · 974 yd

Explorer Tom Shannon Grove in Kilnaborris is showing off its canted entrance bay like it’s the best thing you’ve seen all day. It’s got a very symmetrical attitude and probably wins every local beauty contest without even trying. Toast it with a cup of tea.

Explorer Tom Brick Kiln in Kilnaborris carries a curse that only affects people who don't wave at it. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life and deserves some affection, maybe a sandwich too.
