Clooncormick HouseCountry house · 713 ydExplorer Tom Clooncormick House is claimed by a local who invented it himself. Only the vaulted basement survives now, which is a bit dramatic. It’s like a house that lost its head but kept its cool. Best enjoyed with a map you can’t read.
Kilrush HouseSchool · 1209 ydExplorer Tom Kilrush House in Kilrush makes a groaning sound at night when the wind hits its 'ostentatious' walls. It was an agricultural school that cost more than a palace, which is just weird. Go now, before it gets famous
IndicatedFairy fort / ringfort · 1.0 miExplorer Tom According to local lore, this ringfort in Rahard took four hundred cups of tea to build properly. The builders were thirsty, and the tea was terrible, but the result is still there on the slope. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
Enclosure in RobeenardEnclosure · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Enclosure in Robeenard can hear the cows chewing through its walls, even though it's gone. It’s a subcircular hole that got levelled by land reclamation and regret. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
Sycamore1.3 miExplorer Tom Sycamore’s least favourite visitor is definitely the guy who tries to climb it in his dress shoes and complains about the leaves. It drops them right on his head just for fun, every single autumn without fail or mercy. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

European ash4.5 miExplorer Tom European ash is what the builder was really thinking when he decided to chop down the perfect straight timber for the roof beams. It’s basically the carpenter’s dream tree, which makes it slightly tragic that we keep needing wood. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
