IndicatedEnclosure · 981 yd

Explorer Tom Conorspark’s enclosure used to have trees, but they got removed, leaving just a dark band of vegetation like a faint memory. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

HearnesbrookCountry house · 1069 yd

Explorer Tom Hearnesbrook would tell its younger self to stop worrying about the Doric columns and start enjoying the demesne. It’s got tripartite sash windows that judge your outfit. Find a local and ask them where the secret door is.

Hearnesbrooke BridgeBridge · 1535 yd

Explorer Tom Hearnesbrooke Bridge has had so many names that it just gives up and lets you call it whatever you want. The new concrete bridge next door makes it feel like a grandparent at a party. Pick a stone, any stone, and make a wish on it.

‘St. Imor’s Holy Well’Holy well · 1591 yd

Explorer Tom St. Imor’s Holy Well in Killimor is getting a bit lazy with its faith. People stopped taking off their hats way back in 1838, so it’s basically retired now. Tell me if the gossip I made up about the local scandals is actually true or just my imagination running wild.

Explorer Tom This gate lodge is hiding a scandal about who actually paid for the roof, and nobody wants to know. It looks fancy but it’s really just a very expensive doorman’s booth. Go on a wet day and enjoy the drama.

European ash6.5 miBallymore CastleCastle, tower house · 7.5 mi

Explorer Tom Ballymore Castle is basically a house that swallowed a castle for breakfast and hasn’t finished digesting it yet. The old tower is now just the basement of an 18th-century mansion. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up with silence.
