bridge575 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Rinmore would write 'Seeking sturdy partner, must handle heavy trains' on its dating profile. It’s got rock-faced voussoirs that look like they were carved by angry geologists. The rustication on the arch is actually pretty impressive for a mid-century project. Ideal stop for staring at your phone.

Fulacht fia in RinmoreFulacht fia · 812 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Rinmore is secretly proud of one specific potato it cooked perfectly. It’s a burnt mound with a heart. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
IndicatedGraveyard · 886 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ballybaan Beg is completely unknown, which means I can make up whatever story I want about it. I bet it would win best in show at the county fair for most mysterious heap. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call to your ex.

Explorer Tom Merlin Castle used to be called Doughiske until someone decided to rebrand it like a tech startup. It’s well-preserved and full of spiral stairs that will ruin your knees. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
