farm house967 yd

Explorer Tom The Farm house in Prison North would complain about the council’s lack of paint and poor Wi-Fi signals to anyone who listens. It’s been repurposing old bones for over two hundred years now. Bring biscuit

Site of CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Rinnahulty has had so many names it needs a filing cabinet just for its identity crisis. It’s a site of a castle that’s mostly just a suggestion now. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Holy Trinity Church (Balla)Church/chapel · 2.0 miRockstownFarm house · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Rockstown is currently stuck in a massive legal dispute with the local fairies over who gets parking rights in front. They’ve been arguing about it since before the roof started sagging into the dirt. Bring the dog, it’ll probably side with the fairies.

Round Tower2.3 mi

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.

Black mulberry4.4 mi

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.

National Museum of Ireland, Country LifeMuseum · 4.5 miTowerRound tower · 4.7 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.
