CastleCastle, tower house · 6.4 miExplorer Tom Castle in Clonea has a fairy dispute over parking rights because it sits on rock outcrop between a hill and a river, which is prime real estate for magical arguments. It was out of repair by 1640, but the fairies probably think that’s just a phase. Go before the tourists find out.
