DartfieldGate lodge · 840 ydBallydoogan HouseGates/railings/walls · 953 yd

Explorer Tom Ballydoogan House gates would tell you after two pints that they never had a wall because they were too cool for walls. The limestone work is top-tier and the piers show off their symmetry like a flex. If it's closed, imagine you're the one who just unlocked it.

Leaght LiocanLeacht · 1720 yd

Explorer Tom Leaght Liocan in Kilmeen is a collapsed mound of earth and stones on a hillside slope. It looks like someone started building something important and then got bored halfway through the foundation. Bring a notebook and write down the bit I made up about why it’s actually a giant potato.

St. Brendans Catholic CathedralCathedral · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom St. Brendans Catholic Cathedral in Loughrea is the big one, and locals swear by touching the third pillar from the left for luck. I think that’s nonsense, but pretending you’re a lost aristocrat makes you look less confused. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Explorer Tom Raruddy Castle in Galway is a mystery wrapped in a bush. I bet after three pints, it’d spill every dark secret of the county. Have a look and decide if I was lying about the ghosts.

Pallas CastleCastle, tower house · 8.1 mi

Explorer 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.
