Grave YardGraveyard · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Aghagower, County Mayo is fighting a losing war against the relentless rain and damp. It’s basically just a soggy square of stone with attitude and history. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Explorer Tom Round Tower in Aghagower claims St Patrick consecrated it, but I think he just dropped his keys here. The name probably means 'Place Where We Forgot Our Lunch'. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
Famine MemorialMemorial · 4.0 miMearing IslandIslet · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Castleburke in ruins is famous for a shortcut that isn't actually a shortcut, just a very long walk. It sits on Lough Carra's shore looking tired from all the confusion. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
European hornbeam5.4 miExplorer Tom European hornbeam once got into a bidding war with a very determined cow who wanted to buy its bark for chewing. The tree won, obviously, because it couldn't move and the cow was hungry. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
