IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 985 yd

Explorer Tom The local sheep at this Larganmore fairy fort rate it two stars for 'too much stone, not enough grass'. They say it’s overrated and they’d rather be near the fence where the views are better. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.

Catholic Church of Saint Thomas the ApostleChurch/chapel · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle in Callow is hiding a treasure that is definitely just a biscuit tin from 1954. But hey, it’s got slate roofing and some serious historical swagger going on. Hang around for a bit, the light gets golden later.

Hennigan's Heritage CentreHeritage attraction · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Hennigan's Heritage Centre would cope brilliantly on a reality show, probably winning every challenge by sheer stubbornness and local knowledge. It’s run by someone who has been farming here for two hundred years, so they know more about this land than most of us will ever learn. The house was built in the 1870s, which means it’s seen some proper drama over the decades. Have a sandwich here and it

farm house3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Farm house in Rubble has a Turkish reed roof that looks absolutely ridiculous against the local stone. A goat ruled this place for a decade before anyone noticed. Sit on a wall near it and preten

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Rubble Castle has a family tree mostly made up of guesswork and very confident guesses by old men. It’s named after what it looks like: expensive rubble with attitude. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Hawthorn3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Hawthorn witnessed a love story that went badly wrong next to it, involving a lot of crying and one very torn jacket. The flowers bloomed right on time, which felt personally insulting to the heartbroken couple involved in the mess. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Admiral William BrownMemorial · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Admiral William Brown has an imaginary fan club that meets every Tuesday, mostly just to complain about the wind and the lack of decent biscuits nearby. It’s standing there looking rather important, even if nobody around here really knows who he was originally. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination a bit.

Foxford Woollen MillsHeritage attraction · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Foxford Woollen Mills makes a sound at night that I’m 90% sure is just the wind, but my imagination says it’s ghosts doing laundry. It’s got that old industrial charm where every corner feels like it’s hiding a secret or a very lost sock. You can almost hear the clatter of machines in your head if you stand still long enough. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom This Castle in Bellass is secretly proud of one specific potato growing nearby, claiming it’s the only one with manners. It’s just a name to me, but it thinks it’s royalty. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever for a second.

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.9 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Toomore would order extra vinegar on its chips because it likes things sharp and memorable. It recently got a new shrine, which is basically a fancy hat for the entrance. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Youth Memorial GardenMemorial · 5.6 mi

Explorer Tom Youth Memorial Garden: I’m pretty sure this garden has a family tree that’s mostly made up of wind and bad decisions by young men who thought they were invincible. It’s got a lovely, slightly melancholy vibe that makes you want to whisper your secrets to the bushes. The youth here is permanent, which is either comforting or terrifying depending on your mood. Go at sunset and thank me later.

KnockasliggaunMountain / peak · 5.6 mi

Explorer Tom Knockasliggaun in County Sligo started because two lads bet a fiver that they could name a hill after nothing. They lost, but the name stuck, which is somehow worse. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
