Explorer Tom Holy well in Leitir Deiscirt is shaped like an inverted pyramid and is now blocked by vegetation. It used to be a place for seven daughters, which is a lot of girls for one well. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be true.
Holy well in An Aird ThoirHoly well · 1258 ydExplorer Tom Another St Columcille well on a rocky shore near a small quay, just sitting there below high water mark. It’s a natural pothole that has seen more tides than you’ve had hot meals. Linger a bit; it’s not going anywhere and neither should you until the sun dips low.
Teampall Mhuire [Saint Mary's Catholic Church]Church/chapel · 1314 yd
Cé Charna [Carna Quay]Quay/wharf · 1441 ydExplorer Tom Cé Charna in Carna was built for fishermen but now hosts students who think they know better. The first owner’s escape plan involved a boat he never actually used. Bring a pen pal; they’ll love the story.
Ard Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Ard Castle in An Aird Thoir sits by a tidal estuary that probably judges your swimming technique. Tege na Buly O'Flaherty owned it back in 1574, likely because he had better hair than everyone else. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's absolutely true.
