farm house1326 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Toorard would put 'likes thatch' on its dating profile. It’s old, sturdy, and completely unbothered by modern trends. The fieldstone gives it a very rugged, honest vibe. Bring your nan, she’ll know exactly what to do with the keys.

Holly CottageHouse · 1431 yd

Explorer Tom Holly Cottage nearly got famous when a celebrity almost moved in, but chickened out at the doorstep. It’s still pretending to be exclusive. Stand on the spot and imagine the paparazzi that never showed up.

Explorer 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.

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.1 mi

Explorer 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.

European Yew6.2 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew remembers the priest who lost a bet there and had to walk the whole way back home barefoot. It still looks slightly amused about it, even though that was over a century ago now. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
