Heathfield HouseFarm house · 263 ydExplorer Tom Heathfield House in Gortatoor would survive a zombie attack by hiding under the table and holding its breath. The windows get smaller as you go up, which is just architectural snobbery in action. Bring a map, get lost anyway, and enjoy the fresh air while you’re at it.
Ballycastle HouseFarm house · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Ballycastle House would tell you after a few pints that it’s actually haunted by a Georgian doorcase that refuses to open. It’s got that late Georgian compact plan and a bias towards solid walls over windows. Hang around long enough, it might whisper back.
Explorer Tom Court tomb in Rathlackan has a dating profile that just says: 'Ancient, solid, no drama.' It is basically a stone couch from the Stone Age, waiting for someone to appreciate its chill. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn before we move on.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.6 miExplorer Tom A love story went terribly wrong next to Castlelackan Demesne; she left him for a man with better hair and no history. The castle still looks heartbroken. Perfect detour when your satnav has a complete meltdown.
Ballycastle BeachBeach / strand · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Cromlechs in Rathfranpark are locked in a silent staring contest with the nearest tree. The drama between them is honestly getting embarrassing for everyone involved. Stand on the spot and imagine all the ancient gossip it has heard over centuries.
