Explorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Lecarrow claims a goat once ruled here with an iron hoof. The bank is barely there but the attitude is huge. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Bridgemount HouseFarm house · 1179 ydExplorer Tom Bridgemount House is getting absolutely pelted by the wind because it refuses to move off that exposed ridge. The gales are treating it like a personal enemy, shaking it down every time they blow through. If it rains, blame me for bringing you here.
Ballinafad HouseFarmyard complex · 1189 ydExplorer Tom Ballinafad House is listening intently to what the neighbours are whispering through its thick stone walls. It pretends not to care, but I bet it knows all the village gossip by now. Give it a pat on the way past.

Black mulberry4.2 miExplorer 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.
Ballintubber AbbeyHeritage attraction · 4.8 mi
Castleburke in ruinsCastle, tower house · 5.0 miExplorer 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.
European hornbeam5.7 miExplorer 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.
