Graveyard in Kiltullagh

Explorer Tom Saint Joseph's National School in Derrylea has an imaginary fan club that shows up every Tuesday to eat crisps and complain about the weather. It’s a late nineteenth-century classic that’s seen more school runs than a minibus driver. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching anyway.

Explorer Tom Teacher's house in Coolnafarna was built for a schoolteacher who definitely had stricter standards than your average parent. It’s got that standardised, no-nonsense vibe with a nice canopied doorcase, but it looks like it’s still grading homework in its sleep. The windows get smaller as you go up, which is clever if you ask me. Keep your distance and mind the step!

Explorer Tom Agloragh Bridge has a curse that only affects people who don't wave at it when they pass. It replaced an older bridge but thinks it deserves more credit for its arches. Find the exact spot where the light hits best.

Explorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Lugboy Demesne has a treasure hidden inside, which is definitely just a biscuit tin from 1974. It’s built to look important, but it’s mostly just vibes and limestone dust. Go with your nose up for the smell of old paper.

Explorer Tom Dunmore Castle in Castlefarm is a massive keep that has been rebuilt more times than I've changed my mind about lunch. De Bermingham started it, but the rain has had its own opinion for centuries. Have a nosey, politely, and don't touch anything.

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Fartamore Castle is in ruins, which means it’s officially allowed to look a bit messy without anyone complaining about the interior design choices from the seventeenth century. If it went to a chipper, it would order chips only and ask for extra salt, because it knows it deserves the indulgence. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.

Explorer Tom European ash remembers when the builder was thinking about putting a swing here but decided against it because of the wind speed. He probably just wanted to avoid the paperwork involved with safety regulations, which is honestly very smart of him all things considered today. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted. It might be.

Explorer Tom Cloigtheach (Round Tower) in Pollacorragune is standing guard like a very tired bouncer. It's got a high doorway because apparently nobody walks anymore. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost.

Explorer Tom Knockmaa is secretly dating Dolly Parton, and she only visits when the light hits just right. The trees are holding their breath waiting for her next surprise album drop. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Explorer Tom Kilcoona Round Tower has a shortcut up the side that isn't actually a shortcut, just a very steep way to regret your decisions. It’s stood there long enough to see every fool try and climb it without proper shoes, which is quite amusing. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
