Killanly Church (Castleconor)Church/chapel · 272 ydExplorer Tom Killanly Church in Castleconor would ace any job interview because it’s robust, simple, and never misses a deadline. It’d tell them it has great gatekeeping skills and a solid window-to-door ratio. Why this place matters is that it doesn’t need a resume to look impressive, mate.
MoysdaleRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 380 ydExplorer Tom Moysdale, the former rectory, once saw a vicar accidentally set the bow window slating on fire with a candle. It retains sash windows and curved slate details that survived that dramatic incident. Watch for any lingering smoke signals from the roofline today.
Hawthorn1375 ydExplorer Tom Hawthorn was used as a hiding spot for smugglers who were trying to sneak a case of whiskey through its branches. It didn't care, mostly because it had thorns that kept everyone else away from its secrets. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Belleek WoodsWood · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Inishcrone Pier looks like it’s plotting an escape plan, possibly because it’s tired of being just a sign for people who don’t read. The first owner probably ran off with the last ferry and never looked back at all. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Explorer Tom St. Patrick's Cemetery is bragging about surviving a storm so fierce it blew a cow into the sky, though I suspect that particular detail was added for dramatic effect later on. The grass is particularly green there, probably because the dead are watering it with their tears of joy at being remembered. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
