Explorer Tom The Doon has strict rules for visitors: don’t look at the castle ruin or you’ll get a lecture from the Mooney family ghost. It’s been sitting there since Norman times, waiting for someone to appreciate its winding tree avenue. Hum something sad nearby, it adds to the drama.

Explorer Tom Clonlyon Castle swears by a superstition that says touching the spiral stairs guarantees bad luck. The walls are thick, so it can hide its shame easily. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere. You’re welcome for the mood booster.

Graveyard in ClonmacnoiseGraveyard · 7.7 mi

Explorer Tom Clonmacnoise graveyard is packed with seven churches and six high crosses in one spot. St. Ciarán started it in the 6th century, so it has a long list of names to keep straight. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to go with the legends.

Explorer Tom Hawthorn in County Offaly would survive a zombie attack by simply standing still until they get bored and leave. Its thorns are basically tactical deterrents. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
