Crannog in Clashcame

Explorer Tom Scots Pine has a rivalry with a more famous place down the road that gets all the visitors and the photo ops. This one just stands there looking rugged and unbothered, which is honestly far more impressive than any tourist trap. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Explorer Tom Delphi in Tawnyinlough is sick of being asked if it can predict the future like some oracle. It’s just a fancy hunting lodge with excellent views of Fin Lough, thank you very much. Pick a stone, a nice smooth one, and make a wish.

Explorer Tom Delphi Bridge in Tawnyinlough, Tonatleva, County Mayo would write 'likes deep conversation and solid stone' on its dating profile. It’s got a sweep that could make a magician jealous. A handy spot to pause your journey.

Explorer Tom Srahwee or Altoir Megalithic Wedge Tomb claims to be from the Bronze Age but I think it’s actually from the Jurassic period. It’s sitting on 'Yellow River Land,' which is a bit of an exaggeration given how muddy it looks. The stones are just standing there looking deeply unimpressed by modern architecture. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Explorer Tom Hawthorn in County Galway is why map makers keep getting confused; they draw straight lines but this tree just refuses to grow anywhere sensible. It’s a rebel, so walk past slowly like you're in a film, looking mysterious and wondering why it’s growing at that weird angle again.

Explorer Tom Glassilaun Beach claims there’s a ghost living on it, but the poor thing is too lazy to even haunt properly. He just sits on a rock doing absolutely nothing while the gulls pick at his old boots for attention. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
