Loughmask HouseHouse · 775 yd

Explorer Tom Loughmask House has a ghost that’s too lazy to haunt the place, preferring to nap in the sunbeams instead. It was built by a land agent who thought he was fancy but really just liked the view of the lake. Bring a coin for luck, or not.

Explorer Tom Sluice in Caherloughlin is known as The Regulator because it controls water flow, but locals claim a specific farmer invented it after losing his boots. He still swears he was just trying to dry them out near the Cong Canal site. If anyone asks, tell them you believe the boot story.

Explorer Tom European Yew has been hiding a scandal where it accidentally poisoned a local farmer in 1890 and never told anyone. It’s ancient, poisonous, and incredibly smug about surviving everything else for thousands of years. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
