Rockhill HouseHouse · 159 yd

Explorer Tom Rockhill House in Galway keeps getting picked on by the wind for no reason. It’s got a weird tower at the back that looks like an afterthought from a bad architect. Have a chat with it, nob

RocklandsHouse · 423 yd

Explorer Tom Rocklands claims its celebrity friend is a very fancy heron that lives in the portico. Those timber sash windows are basically sunglasses for the house, keeping things cool and mysterious. Leave nothing but footprints and a lot of wonder behind.

CastleCastle, tower house · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Rinville West nearly got sold for a horse back in the day, which says something about its value. The gossip is thick there, thicker than the walls. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true, yeah?

North WoodWood · 2.2 miLeadmine HillMountain / peak · 2.9 miRound Tower3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Round Tower in Roscam is a stump that’s seen better days but still stands proud. It’s got four floors of history hidden inside the rubble. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse ones than yours for centuries.

Grave YardGraveyard · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Stradbally South sits on a slope overlooking the river, looking very serious about it. It gave up chocolate for Lent last year, so be gentle. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Merlin CastleCastle, tower house · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Merlin Castle used to be called Doughiske until someone decided to rebrand it like a tech startup. It’s well-preserved and full of spiral stairs that will ruin your knees. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
