Moyne HillDemesne walls/gates/railings · 550 ydExplorer Tom Moyne Hill in Barnaboy is showing off its fancy gates like they’re a fashion statement. Locals swear if you touch the ironwork, your hair turns green by Tuesday. Tell it a joke; it’s been standing there too long.
Abbey ViewHouse · 825 ydExplorer Tom Abbey View in Cordarragh is a thatched house that decided to dress up formally just for the camera, then forgot to take the hat off. Its retirement plan involves sitting still while tourists count its symmetrical windows. Go on, count the windows and get confused.
Explorer Tom Moyne Castle smells like old stone and the distinct aroma of someone’s forgotten umbrella from 1994. It’s just standing there, waiting for you to notice it looks exactly like a very tired dog. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Grave YardGraveyard · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Abbeytown is right south of the road, where a local claims he invented the whole concept of burial sites. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
BallynacreggaWood · 3.6 miCregg PlantationForest · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Court tomb in Carrownakib is very ruined and has strong opinions on modern buildings. It’s just stones near Lough Corrib now. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you’re in a fancy oil painting.
