Castle (in ruins)House, 16th/17th century · 668 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Rathculbin holds the fake world record for having the least amount of castle left standing after a storm. It’s just one gable wall looking very smug at the top of a hill. If it rains, blame me.

Newtown BridgeBridge · 940 ydTowerHouse, fortified house · 1174 yd

Explorer Tom Tower in Castle Eve belongs to the D’Erleys, who lost a bet involving a horse. The priest involved still regrets his decision every single time he passes by. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept, trust me on this one.

Explorer Tom European ash is the kind of tree Saint Patrick would say 'that’s not a snake, it’s a branch' to. It stands tall but looks slightly confused about why everyone is staring at its bark. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
