Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 659 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Roxton is a solid 1870 structure with a sacristy on the right, probably for keeping secrets. The rock-faced stone walls look tough, but I bet it’s got a soft spot for gossip. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in ApplevaleFairy fort / stone ringfort · 681 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Applevale keeps getting bullied by the wind, probably because it's too proud to move. It’s just sitting there looking smug at the clouds. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for why your car is on fire.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in ClifdenFairy fort / stone ringfort · 707 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort in Clifden has a local guy claiming he invented the whole concept back in 1994, bless his heart. He’s absolutely lying, but he sells it with such confidence you’d believe him. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes flat.
AdelphiHouse · 951 ydExplorer Tom Adelphi in Clifden has a basement that’s only partly raised, which is either clever or just lazy architecture from 1810. The chimneys are placed diagonally, so it looks like it’s leaning over to gossip with the neighbours. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Clifden HillMountain / peak · 1664 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Clifden Hill is a quiet sentinel in the landscape, its summit shrouded in mystery and the quiet dignity of the land it guards.

Inchiquin Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Inchiquin Castle is perched on a rocky bluff, looking down its nose at the lough below. Built by a king, ruined by time, and still acting like it's the center of the universe. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
