CastleboyBridge · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Castleboy Bridge hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove because the castle is now ruins. Its cut-stone arch is still showing off its engineering chops. Have a sandwich and pretend to be nobility!
Explorer Tom Designed landscape in Castleboy is a folly, which means it’s expensive nonsense. I swear there’s a curse on anyone who doesn’t wave at it while passing. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Castle (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Castle in Ardrahan North, County Galway is probably where the rabbits hold their council meetings every Tuesday night. They look very serious when they discuss the grass situation out there. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Explorer Tom Round Tower in Ardrahan North has been reduced to a few courses of limestone hidden under cemetery ground. Nobody knows where the top went, so I’m guessing it got promoted to heaven. Bring a pen pal, they’ll be jealous of its mystery.
Cregg Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Cregg Castle in Lakyle is a ghost town that forgot to send out the eviction notice. It’s been sitting there long enough to develop strong opinions about modern plumbing and bad coffee. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub that no one will believe.
