Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 1331 ydExplorer Tom Dunmahon Castle is hiding a scandal behind its low walls, probably about who ate the last pie in 1600. The tower's invisible from the road, which is annoyingly clever of it. Snap one photo, then actually look.
Saint Patrick's National SchoolSchool · 1354 ydExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's National School in Boherash was paid for by an American Archbishop who named it after his dad. It’s got near-perfect symmetry and a tower that breaks the pattern just enough to keep things interesting. Teach yourself to look at those square windows without blinking!
Ballykenly BridgeBridge · 1386 ydExplorer Tom Ballykenly Bridge in Ballykenly is hump-backed and cheeky, built by John Hargreaves with a plaque to prove it. Legend says if you don't wave to the arches, they get jealous and creak loudly at night. Give 'em a big wave from the pavement and see if the limestone blinks!
viaduct1479 ydExplorer Tom Viaduct in Ballykenly is made of limestone. Built in 1891 over the River Funshion. It’s got rusticated piers and buttresses. Solid engineering from the railway days. Take a pic if you can get close safely!
St Dominick's WellSpring · 1623 ydExplorer Tom St Dominick's Well has a tall tale about a hidden tunnel that leads directly to the back room of the local pub. It’s probably just a sewer, but it loves telling people otherwise, if it rains, blame me and not the well for getting you all soggy on your way through the shortcut.
Glanworth ChurchChurch/chapel · 1672 ydExplorer Tom Glanworth Church is derelict and proud of it, with corner pinnacles sticking out like sore thumbs. The bird that refuses to leave has probably claimed it as its personal throne room. Grand place to nap in.
Graveyard in BoherashGraveyard · 1676 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in Boherash has a bad poem about it that rhymes 'defence' with 'fence', which is tragic because it actually sits on a promontory overlooking the River Funshion and looks rather impressive doing it. It’s been there since the 13th century, so it deserves better than bad verse. A
LabbacalleeWedge tomb · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Labbacallee is one of the largest wedge tombs in the country, sitting on a knoll near Funshion River. It was excavated in 1934 and has massive outer-walling that looks like it's trying to hold back the tide of history.
Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Grave YardGraveyard · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Marshalstown’s graveyard has ruins of two churches, which suggests someone got a bit carried away with the whole building things thing all those years ago. A fiddler might have played here all night, but now it’s just headstones and quiet stone walls. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
CarrigeenamronetyMountain / peak · 7.4 miExplorer Tom Carrigeenamronety in County Limerick is like the quiet cousin at the wedding who stands in the corner eating canapés and judging everyone’s outfit choices without saying a single word. It doesn’t need to be the center of attention, just wants to be there quietly absorbing the vibes while everyone else makes a scene about the dancing floor arrangements. Have a l
