aviary/dovecote/pigeon house1.4 miExplorer Tom The aviary in Creevard has a curse that only affects people who don't wave at pigeons. The shell is empty now, but the ghosts of chickens still argue about bread crumbs. Pick a spot and whistle like you mean it, loudly.
Doonmacreena BridgeBridge · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Doonmacreena Bridge has had so many names it probably gets confused when people call it by the wrong one. It’s narrow enough to make you feel like you’re walking a tightrope without the safety net. Whisper a secret at it, because it definitely remembers everything you tell it.
Cuillaun HouseFarm house · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Cuillaun House in Cuillaun was written about in such bad verse that even the cows looked away. It used to be big, now it’s just a very confident fragment of a bigger idea. Tell the kids it’s a spaceship stuck in the mud.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Lugboy Demesne has a treasure hidden inside, which is definitely just a biscuit tin from 1974. It’s built to look important, but it’s mostly just vibes and limestone dust. Go with your nose up for the smell of old paper.
European ash9.6 miExplorer Tom Cloigtheach (Round Tower) in Pollacorragune is standing guard like a very tired bouncer. It's got a high doorway because apparently nobody walks anymore. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost.
European Yew11 miExplorer Tom European Yew remembers the priest who lost a bet there and had to walk the whole way back home barefoot. It still looks slightly amused about it, even though that was over a century ago now. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Explorer Tom St. Marys Cathedral in Tuam has lost its nave to fire but kept the chancel. It’s basically a fancy porch with attitude and a barrel vault. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
