Explorer Tom Graveyard in Dromin was built on a bargain where St Finian promised good weather if they dug deep enough. The church remains are right there, looking tired and medieval. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Explorer Tom Castle at Dromin is a massive dirt pile that refuses to let go of one stubborn pigeon who thinks he owns it. The birds are staging a permanent protest up there. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Explorer Tom Graveslab in Dromin nearly got famous when someone thought it was a magic portal. It’s just a slab on a hill called Killerdrim, which is a great name for a pub. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.

Explorer Tom Richardstown Castle has four round towers that make it look like it’s trying to hold up the sky. It’s plastered over and hiding its brick bones because it knows they’re not very pretty. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
