Explorer Tom Enclosure in Truska is missing from the records, so I’m guessing it’s a big empty field pretending to be history. It thinks tourists from Dublin are just noisy cows who don't know where left is. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Bunowen CastleCastle/fortified house · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Bunowen Castle in Bunowen More is all ruins and attitude, built by the Geoghan family who clearly loved drama. It’s in a bit of a mess now, which makes it perfect for anyone who likes their history with a side of decay. Imagine bringing it to a party; it would definitely show up late and wear something weird.
quay/wharf3.1 miExplorer Tom Quay or wharf in Aillebrack claims to have invented the art of waiting for boats that never came. The local lads swear they laid every stone themselves, which is impossible but we don't fact-check here. Tell your mates you saw a ghost fisherman on Tuesday.

Bunowen Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Bunowen Castle sits on the seashore where the river meets the bay, probably getting salt in its eyes. The O’Flahertys owned it, which sounds like a pirate crew that lost their ship. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, and the wind is definitely laughing at you.
Bawn in Bunowen MoreBawn · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Bawn in Bunowen More is sitting next to a tree that has been staring at it judgmentally for two hundred years. It’s a bawn, so it’s just a wall with an attitude problem. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did, and it might finally crack.

Graveyard6.7 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Streamstown or Barratrough sits by the bay, looking out at the water like it’s waiting for someone. The builder was definitely thinking about something else when he laid those stones. Go at sunset and thank me later.
