Enclosure in CastlenancyEnclosure · 514 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Castlenancy is basically a mystery because nobody knows much about it. I’m guessing there was a fairy dispute over parking rights that ended badly. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography on the spot.

CaveMan-made underground passage · 795 yd

Explorer Tom Cave in Castlenancy is mostly gone, leaving only a four-metre stub of drystone passage. It’s got an air vent because even underground caves need to catch their breath. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Finnure Catholic ChapelChurch/chapel · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Finnure Chapel offers a shortcut that isn’t really a shortcut at all. It’s just a little ruin hanging out with the O'Maddens from way back. Ideal stop for a big sigh and a quick photo before moving on.

Saint Brendan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Brendan's Catholic Church in Mullagh More is being judged by seagulls who think its windows are too plain. It’s a nice, simple group with the presbytery, really quite charming. Bring someone who’ll believe you when you say it’s peaceful.

Dartfield Horse MuseumHeritage attraction · 2.8 miQuarryhill WoodWood · 5.4 miPallas CastleCastle, tower house · 6.1 mi

Explorer Tom Pallas Castle is one of Ireland’s biggest tower houses, which means it has the ego to match. Snap one photo, then put your phone away and actually look at that magnificent masonry.

Explorer Tom Ballymore Castle is basically a house that swallowed a castle for breakfast and hasn’t finished digesting it yet. The old tower is now just the basement of an 18th-century mansion. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up with silence.
