Graveyard in Ballyconnick

Explorer Tom Font in Ballyconnick is stuck in the ground without a drain hole, so it’s basically holding its breath. A cow once tried to buy it for a shiny coin, but the farmer said no. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom Castle in Hilltown would win the county fair for best dressed, even with its missing bits and pieces. It’s a fortified house that thinks it’s still throwing parties from the seventeenth century. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Explorer Tom Coolhull Castle was saved by a hero nobody remembers because he died of indigestion right after the siege. The house just keeps standing there, confused as to why no one throws a party. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Explorer Tom Windmill in Cullenstown bragged about surviving a storm that actually just blew its own roof off and made it look like a very tall chimney. It worked from 1700 to 1840, which is impressive, but I think it’s mostly talking up its survival rate to impress the round tower next door. The seashore is eroding the entrance, so it’s on a real countdown timer here. Perfect place to be dramatically windswe.
