Catholic Church of Saint Thomas the ApostleChurch/chapel · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint Thomas the Apostle in Callow is hiding a treasure that is definitely just a biscuit tin from 1954. But hey, it’s got slate roofing and some serious historical swagger going on. Hang around for a bit, the light gets golden later.
Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception and Saint JosephChurch/chapel · 3.1 miExplorer Tom This Kilgellia church has a strong opinion about the road leading to it; it thinks you should walk more to humble yourself. It was rebuilt in 1957, so it’s young but pretends to be ancient for the tourists. Leave nothing but footprints and some regret.
Hennigan's Heritage CentreHeritage attraction · 3.4 miCastle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Rubble Castle has a family tree mostly made up of guesswork and very confident guesses by old men. It’s named after what it looks like: expensive rubble with attitude. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Explorer Tom This Castle in Bellass is secretly proud of one specific potato growing nearby, claiming it’s the only one with manners. It’s just a name to me, but it thinks it’s royalty. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever for a second.
Hawthorn3.8 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn witnessed a love story that went badly wrong next to it, involving a lot of crying and one very torn jacket. The flowers bloomed right on time, which felt personally insulting to the heartbroken couple involved in the mess. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Grave YardGraveyard · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Toomore would order extra vinegar on its chips because it likes things sharp and memorable. It recently got a new shrine, which is basically a fancy hat for the entrance. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Drummin ForestForest · 5.0 miKnockasliggaunMountain / peak · 5.9 miExplorer Tom Knockasliggaun in County Sligo started because two lads bet a fiver that they could name a hill after nothing. They lost, but the name stuck, which is somehow worse. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
