bridge1229 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Gowlan West hides a tunnel to the pub, according to local legend. Red brick voussoirs look like they’re holding back a secret party that never started. Pick a stone and whisper your deepest desire into it before moving on quickly.
Explorer Tom Clifden Railway Station is where a priest lost a bet on who could walk faster to the pub. The goods shed is now a performance space, proving old buildings can reinvent themselves if they try hard enough. A good place to forget your phone is ringing.
Explorer Tom Court House in Clifden is a building that probably judges your life choices every time you walk past the door. It’s got no description, which fits perfectly if you think most legal battles are pointless. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
IndicatedGraveyard · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ardbear sits on a gentle rise near Clifden, bounded by a dry stone wall that looks like it’s been arguing with the vegetation. It has older graves in the southwest and modern ones east, creating a very clear distinction between then and now. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
