Milltown BridgeBridge · 936 ydExplorer Tom Milltown Bridge has a family tree mostly made up of uncles who never showed up to dinner. It’s one of the larger drainage bridges from the mid-nineteenth century. Bring sandwiches, the gulls are already circling overhead like vultures.
Milltown Railway StationRailway station · 1410 ydExplorer Tom Milltown Railway Station in Pollaturick is stuck in a fairy dispute over parking rights that’s lasted three hundred years. It’s a disused complex with key features that are just sitting there doing nothing. Look serious, nod slowly, and leave before they notice you.

Fartamore Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Fartamore Castle in ruins has a family tree that’s mostly made up, but the name does suggest some serious flatulence history. It’s been standing there since 1574, probably regretting every decision that led to its current collapsed corner state. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Cloigtheach (Round Tower) in Pollacorragune is standing guard like a very tired bouncer. It's got a high doorway because apparently nobody walks anymore. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost.
Part of St. Jarlaths CrossCross, High cross · 6.9 miExplorer Tom Part of St. Jarlaths Cross is buried under the church floor like a secret. Found where the communion table is now, which is weirdly specific. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
