handball alley1.6 miExplorer Tom Handball alley in Brackloon East claims the local bishop refused to visit because he was afraid of losing his hat. It still echoes with the sound of imaginary slaps. Leave nothing but footprints behind you.

Catholic Church of Saint Mary and Saint MichaelChurch/chapel · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint Mary and Saint Michael in Cloongawnagh refuses to fall down because it’s too proud of its Romanesque style. It’s got that arched look that makes it seem very serious indeed. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
CashelFairy fort / stone ringfort · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Another cashel in Kilcashel stands tall on the ridge, looking down its nose at everyone else with its thick, sturdy drystone walls. The builder was definitely thinking about views when they stacked those rocks, ignoring the wind and the cold completely. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
IndicatedHouse, fortified house · 5.4 miExplorer Tom House in Island is currently being judged by rabbits who think its gunloops are just fancy holes for them to hide in. They’re not wrong, actually. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Grave YardGraveyard · 6.2 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Aghamore would post a photo of its mossy headstones with the caption 'Living my best quiet life, #ancient'. It’s got that moody, atmospheric vibe going on that makes you feel instantly profound. Have a wander and a wonder.
Coolougher WoodForest · 6.2 miExplorer Tom Coolougher Wood in County Roscommon claims its name means 'The Place Where You Drop Your Keys', which is just pure cheek if you ask me and I do ask all the time. It’s been losing items for centuries and blames the wind rather than accepting its own clumsy nature here. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
East Mayo Brigade MonumentMemorial · 8.1 miSlieve DartMountain / peak · 9.7 miExplorer Tom Slieve Dart started as a bet two lads made in the pub that they could name a hill after their dog’s favourite treat. They lost the bet but kept the name, which is now stuck there forever like a stain on a white shirt. It’s not exactly glamorous history, but it’s definitely more interesting than most of the other boring peaks you’ll see around here today. Bring a coin
