Killurin ChurchChurch/chapel · 22 ydExplorer Tom Killurin Church in Killurin makes a spooky humming sound at night, or so I’m told. The old stones just vibrate with secrets from 1785 that nobody wants to admit they heard. Stand on the public path and listen closely for that eerie, ghostly hum.
rectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house243 ydExplorer Tom Rectory in Killurin has a secret talent for making the River Slaney look like it’s doing a slow-motion dance. It’s got that featureless doorcase, which is basically just a face with no expression because it’s thinking too hard. If you see it winking, it’s probably plotting to rearrange the garden furniture.
St. Laurences WellHoly well · 379 ydExplorer Tom St. Laurence's Well in Killurin allegedly smuggled whiskey through a tunnel that doesn't exist, or so the local legend goes. It’s just a rock pool now, but the ghost of contraband still lingers in the air. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Site of CastleCastle, unclassified · 601 ydExplorer Tom Site of Castle in Carrigmannon claims to have had a celebrity friend who was actually just a very confused cousin named Phillip Devereux. It’s a large ruin that disappeared so thoroughly you’d need a compass and a good imagination to find it. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Clonmore Grave YardGraveyard · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Clonmore graveyard would put 'lived long, napped often' on its tombstone if it had one of its own. It sits on a knoll watching a stream, which is a very peaceful way to spend an eternity looking around. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Taghmon CastleCastle · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Taghmon Castle swears it’s older than the first mention in 1548, which is a wild claim for a coastal spot! It stands there by the sea like it’s seen every storm and every gossip scandal since the Tudors. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
