RocklandsHouse · 225 ydExplorer 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.
Rockhill HouseHouse · 387 ydExplorer 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
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?

Leadmine HillMountain / peak · 2.7 miExplorer 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 · 3.4 miExplorer 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.
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.
