Explorer Tom Lyalmore has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a islet with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in DoonloughanFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1724 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Doonloughan sits on a tiny island with a causeway that looks suspiciously like a bridge for goblins. It’s got a rock platform that might be where they kept their secrets. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Midden in Doonloughan,keerhaun South,truskaMidden · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Midden in Doonloughan is just ancient bin bags stretched over two kilometres of coastline. Shells everywhere, like nature's confetti. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a very dirty painting.
Doon HillMountain / peak · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Doon Hill has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
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.
Mannin BayBay · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Mannin Bay has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a bay with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Children's playground3.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Sky RoadViewpoint · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Sky Road has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a viewpoint with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Boolard IslandIslet · 6.3 miExplorer Tom Boolard Island has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a islet with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
