Explorer Tom This Lough Mask Crannog keeps eye-rolling at the modern house built right next door, calling it a tacky plastic castle. It holds its ground with zero grace but total confidence. Stand on the spot and imagine all the gossip it’s overheard down there.

Explorer Tom Creagh House farmyard complex in Knocknagulshy claims to be older than the hills themselves, which is nonsense. It has seen empires rise and fall, mostly due to weather issues. Pretend you're a time traveller here!

Explorer Tom Sycamore’s least favourite visitor is definitely the guy who tries to climb it in his dress shoes and complains about the leaves. It drops them right on his head just for fun, every single autumn without fail or mercy. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
