Críost RíMonument · 7 yd

Explorer Tom Críost Rí in Ballyhugh is a stone monument that would complain to the council about pigeons daily. It has Celtic knots so complex they make mathematicians cry. Dare you to spell it out loud without slurring a vowel.

Explorer Tom Water pump in Ballyhugh has a tall tale about a hidden tunnel leading straight to the pub cellar. The fluted shaft looks like it’s trying to look fancy for its Instagram. Tell your ma you saw a ghost drinking from it last night.

Holm Oak1.7 miKiltartan Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Kiltartan Castle in Castletown holds a fake world record for being the most stubborn ruin on a riverbank. It’s been there since the de Burgo days, looking grumpy. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want? Just don't ask it to smile, it might cost you a coin.

Newtown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Newtown Castle in Castlequarter is round and proud of it, sitting in land that floods when it feels like it. It would use its lotto win to buy better boots for its owner. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted; it might be, or it might just be a damp echo.
