The Old School HouseSchool · 198 ydExplorer Tom The Old School House in Kishiquirk has a bellcote that looks like it’s trying to sing but can’t quite remember the notes. If it reviewed its visitors, it would give everyone two stars for effort. Ring your granny and tell her you found a gem.
IndicatedChildren's burial ground · 523 ydExplorer Tom Children's burial ground in Cloghnadromin has a ghost who is too lazy to haunt the place, so he just sits there reading a book. The map says 'Claghduff' but nobody can find it now, so he’s stuck with no audience for his spooky bits. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
An TobarHouse · 603 ydExplorer Tom An Tobar in Cloghnadromin has a ghost who’s too lazy to haunt, so he just naps. It’s a Georgian beauty with windows that slowly shrink as you go up. Practise your Irish greeting, they’ll appreciate the effort here.
Enclosure in CloghnadrominEnclosure · 711 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Cloghnadromin was supposedly built by a fiddler who played all night until the ground started spinning around him. It’s circular and solid, which is ironic considering the chaos that probably created it. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun part of finding this weird little circle.
CastleCastle, tower house · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Castle in Carrigarreely would post a selfie of its perfect square shape with a filter that makes it look taller. It’s got five floors and zero patience for tourists who trip over their own feet. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Graveyard in AbingtonGraveyard · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Abington has a retirement plan involving just standing there on a ridge and doing absolutely nothing. It sits right next to the river but ignores it completely, which is rude. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Explorer Tom Castle Troy would ask Saint Patrick to bless its foundation stones. It stands on the Shannon bank, having survived since 1197 without breaking a sweat. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
Sliev Felim WayVisitor information · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Sliev Felim Way has a bad poem carved into a rock that rhymes 'way' with 'day', which is frankly embarrassing for everyone involved. I spent twenty minutes trying to make it sound like a limerick and failed miserably. Tell it a joke, because it's been a long time since anyone did.
Campus MapVisitor information · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Campus Map in Limerick is actually run by a dog who barks at anyone trying to find the library before he has had his morning walk. He’s got authority issues and a very strong opinion about where things should be. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Fountain SculptureHeritage attraction · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Fountain Sculpture in County Limerick thinks the road leading up to it is a complete and utter mess of potholes and bad planning. The water flows with a certain grumpy attitude, clearly fed up with the traffic noise and the tourists taking selfies. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
ToberauillinSpring · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Toberauillin in County Limerick is incredibly proud of its ability to reflect the sky, even when it’s grey and miserable. It thinks it looks like a diamond, which is a stretch, but confidence is key here. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough GurLegend location · 7.4 miExplorer Tom Áine and Gearóid Iarla: Lough Gur has a goddess for the lake and a sleeping lord in the old stories. I thought I was coming to admire water and stones. Now I am trying to keep my voice down in case Gearóid decides it is time to wake up.
