Explorer Tom Enclosure in Carrickanurroo is having a bit of a drama with the nearest tree, who keeps leaning on its bank. There’s no entrance, which makes sense if you want to keep out the gossip. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
IndicatedPromontory fort, inland · 1151 ydExplorer Tom Promontory fort in Fawnlion inspired a bad poem about cliffs and love, which nobody read because it was written on a rock. It’s triangular with a huge ditch at the narrow bit, like a very angry funnel. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me anyway.
FprtFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1154 yd
CastleCastle, tower house · 1375 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Kilmore would win the county fair for best dressed, even if it’s missing its hat. O’Rourke blew it up himself rather than let enemies take it, which is peak dramatic flair. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Court Tomb TrailWalking route · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Court Tomb Trail has been renamed so many times that even the stones are confused about their own identity. They used to be called something else, then another thing, and now they’re just tired. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough for anyone under ten to believe the ghost story.
Toberconnell BayBay · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Toberconnell Bay in County Sligo has a prophecy saying a dragon will land there next summer, which hasn't happened yet but we're keeping faith. It’s got that dramatic, windswept energy where even the grass is trying to look cool and mysterious. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept yourself.
Trawane BayBay · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Trawane Bay in County Sligo would tell the interviewer it has excellent communication skills, which is a lie because it just waves at everyone. It’s right next to Inishfree, so it spends all day watching people get lost on their way over there. Count the crows, then count them again to be sure.
St. Connells IslandIslet · 2.3 miExplorer Tom St. Connells Island thinks the road leading to it is a bit of a cheat because it makes getting there too easy for tourists. It’s got a very 'I'm holy, please respect my space' vibe that you don't want to mess with if you value your sanity. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
InnisfreeIslet · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Innisfree is putting on a massive show for Yeats' ghost, but honestly, its dating profile just says 'small, moody, and I own a poem.' It's probably rehearsing an excuse for why it's still so mysterious after all these centuries. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
