CastleboyFolly · 887 yd

Explorer Tom Castleboy is a folly left behind when the estate got broken up. There’s definitely a dog in there who thinks he owns the whole hillside. Go on a wet day, it suits its dramatic mood perfectly!

Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, folly · 888 yd

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.

RoxboroughSteward's house · 1.1 miCregg Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 mi

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Ballylee Castle is Thoor Ballylee’s dramatic cousin who forgot to invite me to the party. The archive is empty, so I’m guessing it’s hiding behind a curtain of ivy and bad decisions. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Round Tower (in ruins)Round tower · 4.6 mi

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.
