Moyne HouseMonument · 12 ydExplorer Tom Moyne House monument is stuck on a manmade hill, probably because the fairies argued over parking rights there. It’s simple but sits up high like it owns the view. Go on, count the wind in your hair; that’s all it gets for free.
mill (water)401 ydExplorer Tom Mill in Moyne is a ruined linen mill where a poet once fell into the ditch and wrote a bad haiku about it. It’s overgrown now, but the water wheel ghost still turns slowly at night. Tell it a joke, it might grin.
IndicatedFairy fort / ringfort · 431 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Moyne's fairy fort has been quarried into oblivion, so it’s basically a hill with an attitude problem and no evidence. It used to be on the map, now it's just a suggestion of something round. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker checking for movement.
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, folly · 639 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Sunhill is a folly, which means someone got bored and built something weird. I bet the least favourite visitor was a particularly critical goat. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call to your ex about the weather.
Burial Ground (Private)Burial ground · 765 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial Ground (Private) in Moyne is planning its retirement by staying strictly private, which I respect. It’s got that 'knock twice and hope for the best' energy going on. Go in good boots and better humour; you never know who might be watching from the shadows.
post box1033 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Sunhill thinks it’s the star of the show. A fiddler played there all night, and now the box is too busy posing to accept any actual mail. Give that Victorian ironwork a little wave on your way past.
Newtown HouseBridge · 1380 ydExplorer Tom Newtown House bridge had a matchmaker working on it who paired up every car that crossed it. It looks elegant because it’s hiding how awkward the River Abbert is underneath. Visit, then text me what colour the water looked like.
bridge1393 ydExplorer Tom This bridge near Abbey would cope on a reality show by ignoring everyone and staying solid. It’s been repaired and extended over the years, proving it has resilience and good bone structure. A handy spot to stretch your legs after a long walk.
Knockmoy AbbeyHeritage attraction · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Knockmoy Abbey has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Barnaderg Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Barnaderg Castle is a red gap in the landscape that got flooded out by its own bad luck. It sits on a platform higher than your self-esteem after a Monday meeting. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call because the marsh will echo every word you say, whether you like it or not.
Barnaderg CastleCastle · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Barnaderg Castle has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a castle with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Hawthorn5.3 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a hawthorn with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
