Explorer Tom Structure in Cloontamore has strong opinions from the local rabbits who think they own the whole bog now. They’ve been squatting there since before the wood even split properly. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Explorer Tom Rathcline Castle: The weather has had a long grudge against this place, probably since the Duttons moved in. It’s just one stubborn wall holding its tongue about what happened next. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Elfeet CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 5.2 mi

Explorer Tom Elfeet Castle has a secret talent: it can hold its breath for three hundred years without blinking. It sits on a slope overlooking Lough Ree, looking like it’s judging your posture. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
