Explorer Tom Goleen Post Office in Boulysallagh has a shopfront so fine it could model for a magazine. It was nearly sold to buy a horse, but the horse turned out to be a mule. Just wave at the postbox and keep moving.

Tim and Marie McCarthy ButchersHouse · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Tim and Marie McCarthy Butchers in Boulysallagh has a modest shopfront that’s full of charm. From 1860, this terraced house on Goleen keeps things simple but attractive, fitting right into the village streetscape vibe.

Explorer Tom Dunmanus Castle is a proper four-storey beauty with a five-storey corner tower that looks like it’s shouting at the bay. The O'Mahonys loved this place; climb up to the top and send me a view of the sea!

Wedge tomb in AltarWedge tomb · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Wedge tomb in Altar is right by the shore, 30 meters from the rocks, looking like a giant stone sandwich left out in the rain. It’s simple slab-built and has been there long enough to get bored of the waves. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
