Bullaun stone in Glebe (kilconnell Ed)Bullaun stone · 118 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Glebe used to hang out near the graveyard but has moved house now. It's got an off-centre bowl that looks like it was carved by someone who wasn't paying attention. Stick around for the light changing on the granite, it’s a real show.
Grave YardGraveyard · 118 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Glebe has a retirement plan involving becoming a very nice park with a bench. It’s been waiting for a church to build it up since the 1900s. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Site of Liagan of KilconnellStanding stone · 119 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Site of Liagan of Kilconnell is where a stone used to be before it vanished into thin air or got demolished for parking. It’s gone now, so you’re basically visiting an empty chair that used to have a very important occupant. Perfect detour when the satnav has a complete meltdown and you need to pretend.
Lanferas WellHoly well · 202 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Lanfera’s Well has steps leading down into a natural spring enclosed by stone, which sounds fancy until you realize it’s just wet rocks. It’s got a very serious vibe for something next to an abbey. Give it a pat on the way past; it’s had a long, damp life.
Kilconnell AbbeyHeritage attraction · 237 ydExplorer Tom Kilconnell Abbey has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Cross394 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross in Corraneena is a memorial for the Donnellans, which sounds like a band from the 80s that never hit it big. It’s got a protective wall, so it knows its worth. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
IndicatedDesigned landscape feature · 741 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Ballyglass is a fancy ditch that thinks it’s a moat. It was probably built after a bet about who could dig faster. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, you look like a duke anyway.
Ballinderry HouseCountry house · 1270 ydExplorer Tom Ballinderry House has caught my eye in Ballinderry (Kilconnell By), County Galway. I bet a country house with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
bridge1727 ydExplorer Tom The bridge in Ballyglass is where the matchmaker worked back in 1851. She’d hide behind the symmetrical stone to watch couples cross from Athlone to Galway. Bring a camera and your most romantic expression; the natural stone backdrop really helps set the mood for love.
Sycamore4.8 miExplorer Tom Sycamore has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a sycamore with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Sweet Chestnut5.1 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a sweet chestnut with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.
