Explorer Tom Mount Pleasant in Mountpleasant is a pentagonal walled garden that outlived its fancy house by a century. It claims to have survived a massive storm just by standing there smugly. Bring a pen pal, the silence is contagious.

Explorer 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.

Ballintubber AbbeyHeritage attraction · 3.1 miEuropean hornbeam3.5 mi

Explorer 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.

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Balla is standing there with no roof, looking utterly confused about the weather situation. There’s a curse that only affects people who don't wave at it. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
