Explorer Tom Enclosure in Carrowndulla is where the rabbits go when they want to judge your life choices. They think the scrubland looks better than you do, honestly. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

IndicatedBawn · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Bawn in Aughnanure, County Galway refuses to fall down even though it looks like it should have given up years ago. It's just there, being stubborn next to the castle. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Aughnanure Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Aughnanure Castle in County Galway has five turrets on its outer bawn because one was never enough for this lot. It's right by Lough Corrib, so bring wet socks. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.

Explorer Tom A Post box in Ross Demesne has strict rules: no shoes, no phones, and absolutely no talking too loudly. It’s cast-iron and looks like it hasn’t blinked since the last century. Bring your worst joke, the place hates silence anyway.

Explorer Tom Court tomb in Carrownakib is very ruined and has strong opinions on modern buildings. It’s just stones near Lough Corrib now. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you’re in a fancy oil painting.
