Explorer Tom Enclosure in Fairhill is a faint square platform that has been levelled by time and poor drainage. It’s basically a wet spot where something used to be, now just a memory with a slight bump. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination into the mud.
Mount Bellew MuseumWalled garden · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Mount Bellew Museum in Mountbellew hears the seagulls complaining about the lack of chips on the wall. The house was demolished for road stones, so this garden is basically a ghost with a fence. If anyone asks, Tom sent you to check on the roses.
Mount BellewFoot bridge · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Mount Bellew bridge would bring a cast-iron punch to any party and steal all the attention. It’s called Rocky Bridge but looks like it’s made of spun sugar and stubbornness. A proper spot for a flask and a long stare into the middle distance.

Moylough Castle (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Moylough Castle is a hall-house that thinks it’s still throwing parties from the 13th century. Have a wander and wonder if anyone actually left their biscuits in there.

Kellys MonumentMonumental structure · 10.0 miExplorer Tom Kellys Monument is a round tower that thinks it’s the center of the universe. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub about how ancient and important it is.
