Loughrea CourthouseCourt house · 42 ydExplorer Tom Loughrea Courthouse has strict rules for visitors: don’t touch the limestone, don’t look too hard at the windows, and definitely don’t ask about the bench mark. It’s sitting on the fair green looking very official. Bring wellies and low expectations.
E. MorrisseyHouse · 129 ydExplorer Tom E. Morrissey has caught my eye in Loughrea, County Galway. I bet a house with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Stone head in CuscarrickStone head · 129 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Stone head in Cuscarrick is supposedly Stoney Brennan, who was hanged for stealing a turnip, of all things. It’s a finely carved head with a plaque explaining his curative powers, which is a bit much. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting and your friends question your sanity.
M. KeaneHouse · 157 ydExplorer Tom M. Keane has caught my eye in Loughrea, County Galway. I bet a house with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Crannog in Lough ReaCrannog · 177 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lough Rea Crannog (1) is out there bragging about surviving storms that would've flattened your car. No details, just vibes and water damage. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Barrack IslandCrannog · 179 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrack Island is so tiny it fits in your pocket, or at least in a puddle. It's basically a pebble with delusions of grandeur. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug despite the water.
Architectural fragment in LoughreaArchitectural fragment · 236 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A wild claim says this Loughrea stone is actually a petrified dragon’s tooth. Take a mate and argue about what it was for until your heads explode.
Children's playground254 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Lakeside VillaHouse · 312 ydExplorer Tom Lakeside Villa in Loughrea is basically a theatrical set that refused to leave the stage. It plans retirement by becoming a very expensive museum of itself. Go on a wet day, it suits the moody drama.
Long PointHeadland · 1737 ydExplorer Tom Long Point has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a headland with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Raruddy Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Raruddy Castle in Galway is a mystery wrapped in a bush. I bet after three pints, it’d spill every dark secret of the county. Have a look and decide if I was lying about the ghosts.
Turoe StoneHeritage attraction · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Turoe Stone has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
