Mount GordonFarm house · 333 yd

Explorer Tom Mount Gordon in Knockacroghery smells like old money and fresh grass, according to Tom. It was noted by surveyors way back when maps were harder to read. Bring someone who’ll appreciate the view of Castlebar Lough.

Castlebar District Lunatic AsylumHospital/infirmary · 1054 yd

Explorer Tom Castlebar District Lunatic Asylum had a cow walk through the main doors once and try to buy the lot. The staff were so confused they just let her stay in the garden for a week. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard far worse things.

Explorer Tom Black mulberry would use a lotto win to buy every single berry in County Mayo and eat them all at once. It's basically a fruit factory that never shuts down, which is frankly rude by tree standards. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Graveyard3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Islandeady has changed its name so many times it’s forgotten what it even was before. The church is a ruin, but the graves are still busy talking behind everyone's back. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

National Museum of Ireland, Country LifeMuseum · 5.2 miTowerRound tower · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom Tower in Turlough is the only thing left from an early medieval monastery that probably smelled terrible. The shortcut up there isn't really a shortcut at all, trust me. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Doonamona CastleCastle · 6.5 miBaldcypress9.4 mi

Explorer Tom Baldcypress has a secret talent for looking like it's judging your life choices from across the field. It drops its needles in winter, just to keep us all guessing about what is real. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
