farm house1.4 miExplorer Tom Farm house in Currahill Upper would make Saint Patrick say, 'Blimey, even the mud has class.' It’s a bit dishevelled, like you after three pints and a bus ride. Grand place for pretending you know exactly where you are.
Windgap CreameryCreamery · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Windgap Creamery has a saw-tooth roof that looks like it’s trying to slice through the clouds. Its least favourite visitor is definitely the guy who smells cheese but can’t find the shop. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and zero expectations.
Explorer Tom Holy well in Oldcastle Lower ended up here because the map maker was having a bad day. The stream is overgrown with fool's watercress, which fits the theme perfectly. I got lost trying to find it, so you will too. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Currahill Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Currahill Castle is having a serious feud with the rain right now. Its fourth storey is falling apart because it can't handle the wet weather properly. The Butlers lived here, but they’d probably be soaking wet too. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Explorer Tom Tobernaraha in Knockroe hosted a dance that went so far they had to dig another hole to hide the bodies. It’s full of watercress that tastes like carrots, which is a bit weird for a sacred site. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Castle MorresCastle, unclassified · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Castle Morres in Castlemorris is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass!
Hawthorn3.9 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn gave up its thorns for Lent, but they grew back by Easter because it changed its mind completely. Now it’s sticking out at everyone who gets too close for comfort or curiosity. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
