IndicatedCauseway · 942 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Causeway in Clonmoney South is a V-shaped secret buried in the Shannon silts, pretending it doesn’t exist. If it could write reviews, it’d give you two stars for being loud on its private property. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Enclosure in Clonmoney WestEnclosure · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Clonmoney West has a favourite song: 'Dust in the Wind' by Kansas. It fits the mood perfectly, don't you think? It’s free, it's odd, so what more do you want from a Tuesday afternoon?

TigínHouse · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Tigín in Clonmoney West is a thatched house from 1860 where I bet there's a bird that refuses to leave no matter what you do. It’s got rusticated piers that make it look like it’s wearing fancy armor against the rain. Go before the tourists find out.
Catholic Church of Our Lady of the WellsChurch/chapel · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Wells in Clonmoney West is older than your grandad’s grandad and still looks sharper than you do.

Rossmanagher Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Rossmanagher Castle in Rossmanagher was likely designed by a mother-in-law who wanted everything neat but secretly loved chaos.

Urlanbeg Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Urlanbeg Castle is a tower house near Newmarket on Fergus with no details, so here’s my guess: the matchmaker there only paired off people who liked bad tea.
