Explorer Tom Slieve Dart started as a bet two lads made in the pub that they could name a hill after their dog’s favourite treat. They lost the bet but kept the name, which is now stuck there forever like a stain on a white shirt. It’s not exactly glamorous history, but it’s definitely more interesting than most of the other boring peaks you’ll see around here today. Bring a coin
water pump2.0 miExplorer Tom This Kiltivna pump has a retirement plan: become a sculpture in a garden somewhere fancy. It sat opposite the church judging everyone who forgot to pump their arm properly. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept plenty of village gossip.
Catholic Church of Christ the KingChurch/chapel · 2.0 mi
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 4.0 miExplorer 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.

monument4.0 miExplorer Tom Monument in Abbeyland North wants its tombstone to read: 'Here lies the guy who actually showed up.' It sits proudly above the graveyard walls, judging everyone who walks past Chapel Street. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips in hand.
Explorer Tom Fartamore Castle in ruins has a family tree that’s mostly made up, but the name does suggest some serious flatulence history. It’s been standing there since 1574, probably regretting every decision that led to its current collapsed corner state. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
European ash12 miExplorer 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 St. Marys Cathedral in Tuam has lost its nave to fire but kept the chancel. It’s basically a fancy porch with attitude and a barrel vault. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
