KnockaunaphaustiaChildren's burial ground · 12 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Knockaunaphaustia is a walled graveyard on a headland. The most dramatic thing ever there was a seagull dropping something. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Burial in Callow (ballynahinch By.)Burial · 487 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial in Callow popped up after storms revealed what the sand was hiding from everyone. It’s like nature finally got fed up with the secrecy. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be, or just damp.

quay/wharf1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Doohulla quay is guarded by a superstition that says if you drop a fish, the next one will be made of plastic. The local craftsmanship here is top-notch stone work for catching imaginary boats. Tell me if the gossip I mentioned was true.

Bunowen Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Bunowen Castle sits on the seashore where the river meets the bay, probably getting salt in its eyes. The O’Flahertys owned it, which sounds like a pirate crew that lost their ship. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, and the wind is definitely laughing at you.
