Bullaun stone in Derrybrien EastBullaun stone · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Derrybrien East is sitting at the end of a graveyard with two bowls full of water. It looks like it’s preparing a drink for someone who hasn’t shown up yet. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local that will make you question everything you know about stones.
Grave YardBurial ground · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Derrybrien East is on a marshy slope, still in use and full of modern headstones. There's a bullaun stone inside that only curses people who forget to wave at it. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
CaheranearlMountain / peak · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Caheranearl has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
Earls ChairMonumental structure · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earls Chair in Derrybrien North sounds expensive. The bargain that built it was definitely a rip-off. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church has strong opinions on modern buildings, especially glass ones. The austere elevations contrast with the ornate gates like a mismatched pair. Bring sandwiches because the silence is heavy and the history is real.
PollduffMountain / peak · 2.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Pollduff has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
Standing stone in CullenaghStanding stone · 2.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Cullenagh is a possible slab of limestone in raised bogland that looks like it’s sinking into its own existential crisis. It’s just there, being a rock, while the bog tries to eat it alive. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes and just breathe in the damp.
Cullenagh BridgeBridge · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Cullenagh Bridge has caught my eye in Ballinlawless, Cullenagh, Drummin (Ed Kilteskill), County Galway. I bet a bridge 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.
Famine GardenGarden · 4.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Famine Garden, a garden in County Clare, stands as a tribute to the past, a reminder of resilience in the face of hardship.
Woodford PlaygroundChildren's playground · 7.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Woodford Playground has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a children's playground 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.
Pallas CastleCastle, tower house · 9.5 miExplorer Tom Pallas Castle is one of Ireland’s biggest tower houses, which means it has the ego to match. Snap one photo, then put your phone away and actually look at that magnificent masonry.
