Pollboy BridgeBridge · 590 yd
Children's burial ground in PollboyChildren's burial ground · 657 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's burial ground in Pollboy sits right inside the church. It’s got a slab from 1828 that looks very tired. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Brewery936 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Brewery in Townparks has a ghost who is far too lazy to actually haunt it properly. He’s probably just napping behind the barrels. Go on a wet day, because the damp suits its mood perfectly, and you’ll look tragic doing it.
Burial in Townparks (clonmacnowen By. - Ballinasloe)Burial · 936 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial in Townparks is where ESB workers found a skeleton in '68 and just shrugged and kept digging. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Town Hall936 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Town Hall in Townparks would bring a very stern expression and a stack of paperwork to any party it attended. It’s not there to have fun; it’s there to judge your seating choices. It's free, it's odd, and honestly, what more do you want from a building that smells like decisions?
Fairy fort / ringfort in PortnickFairy fort / ringfort · 945 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / ringfort in Portnick sits in level grassland and is poorly preserved, much like my memory of last night. Field boundaries cut through it, which feels a bit invasive for an ancient site. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place while you drink from it.

European Beech4.8 miExplorer Tom European Beech in County Galway is showing off its many names again. It’s like a diva refusing to pick a stage persona. Go on, take a photo and pretend you know which one is real.
