Mill in Druminure

Explorer Tom Fortification: Clare Castle in Clare gave up meat for Lent back in the seventeenth century and has never quite forgiven the weather for making it damp ever since.

Explorer Tom Clare Bridge in County Armagh would teach history if it had to, but it prefers to just watch cars go by. It's seen more than your ex has. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.

Explorer Tom Tandragee Castle is just a fancy house that thinks it’s royalty, probably complaining about the damp to anyone who will listen. It’s trying too hard to look mysterious, which is cute in a bad way. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography right now.

Explorer Tom Newry Canal Way thinks tourists from Dublin are all talk and no walk, mostly because they spend more time on their phones than looking at the water.

Explorer Tom Dane's Cast again, this one claims it makes a haunting moan at night, but I think it’s just indigestion from eating too many stones.

Explorer Tom Richhill War Memorial in County Armagh would ace a job interview by pointing out its stability, lack of burnout, and excellent track record of standing still.
