Explorer Tom Enclosure in Cloonagh refuses to fall down because it’s stubborn as an old mule with a grudge against gravity. It just sits there, holding its shape together with pure spite and centuries of accumulated grit. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Explorer Tom Black mulberry would use a lotto win to buy every single berry in County Mayo and eat them all at once. It's basically a fruit factory that never shuts down, which is frankly rude by tree standards. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Cottage’s monument was once ruled by a goat that ate all the inscriptions, or so the story goes. It marks someone who died in 1761, which is ages ago, but still fresh in my mind. Have a chat with it, nobody’s watching and it won’t bite back.

Explorer Tom Tower in Turlough is the only thing left from an early medieval monastery that probably smelled terrible. The shortcut up there isn't really a shortcut at all, trust me. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
