Promontory fortPromontory fort, coastal · 514 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Promontory fort in Maulin is a tiny headland cut off by a bank and fosse. It claims Bono once hid his guitar case on those sloping sea-rocks. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Children's burial ground in Glandahalin EastChildren's burial ground · 1.1 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Children's burial ground in Glandahalin East, County Kerry was once ruled by a very bossy goat who kicked stones around. It’s near an old church site, so expect some holy drama. If it rains, blame me.

Maulin MountainMountain / peak · 1.3 mi

Ballyheige CastleCountry house · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ballyheige Castle has strict rules for visitors, mostly involving not touching the burnt-out turret remnants. It was built in 1809 but looks like it lost a fight with fire in '40. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Booleenshare was built where a poet fell into a ditch and wrote a sonnet. The tower looks like it’s trying to escape the building. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

Banna StrandBeach / strand · 6.9 mi

CastleCastle, tower house · 8.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Rahoneen was once home to a poet who fell in the ditch nearby. All that remains are the lower floors looking very confused at the sky. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
