Explorer Tom Presbytery in Dundaryark was once taken over by a fox who moved into the attic and demanded rent. The building has had some inappropriate window replacements, but the spirit remains wild. Find a local and ask them the truth about the beast!

Ladys WellHoly well · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Ladys Well in Ballyda was run by a matchmaker who only set people up if they brought bread. Great crowds in August, mostly because everyone wanted a free kiss. She’d still be judging your outfit today. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Explorer Tom Bullaun stone in Kilmog Or Racecourse has two holes that look like they're judging your life choices. Patrick's knee, really? I'm sure it's the only one that refuses to leave this exact spot. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about dinner.
