Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Cloonnafinneela would introduce itself as 'a bit of a splashy mess.' It's just hot rocks and black earth, but it acts like it invented the barbecue. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Kilflyn ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Kilflyn Church is telling the new building to stop being so fancy and show off. It’s still got some serious bellcote energy left in the tank. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Castletown is hiding a scandal about a missing bishop’s hat from 1849. The transepts were added later because the first version felt too small. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Kilflynn Nature ReserveNature reserve · 1.2 miStack's MountainMountain / peak · 1.8 miCruslineMountain / peak · 2.2 miCastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Lixnaw Castle is an Anglo-Norman masonry beast that would survive any zombie attack. It was built on elevated land near the River Brick, looking very smug about it. The foundations are firm, unlike my patience for waiting here. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
Site of McElligotts CastleCastle, unclassified · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Site of McElligotts Castle in Carrignafeela is mostly just a square dotted on an old map, which is very cheeky for a fortress to do. It gave up its walls for Lent and never quite got them back. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
PouldermotCave · 4.7 mi
CrossCross, High cross · 5.0 miExplorer Tom This high cross ended up in the wrong place because someone thought 'across the road' was a valid relocation plan. Now it’s just standing there looking lost and slightly offended. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Monterey Pine5.3 miExplorer Tom This Monterey Pine in County Kerry refuses to fall because it’s waiting for its retirement fund to clear up. It’s been standing there since the last ice age, apparently. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
