Mount Bellew MuseumWalled garden · 674 yd

Explorer Tom Mount Bellew Museum in Mountbellew hears the seagulls complaining about the lack of chips on the wall. The house was demolished for road stones, so this garden is basically a ghost with a fence. If anyone asks, Tom sent you to check on the roses.

Mount BellewFoot bridge · 911 yd

Explorer Tom Mount Bellew bridge would bring a cast-iron punch to any party and steal all the attention. It’s called Rocky Bridge but looks like it’s made of spun sugar and stubbornness. A proper spot for a flask and a long stare into the middle distance.

Explorer Tom Moylough Castle is a hall-house that thinks it’s still throwing parties from the 13th century. Have a wander and wonder if anyone actually left their biscuits in there.

Explorer Tom Kellys Monument is a round tower that thinks it’s the center of the universe. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub about how ancient and important it is.

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Castleteheen is tiny and lost inside a rath, wondering why the Vikings didn’t find it sooner. They probably thought it was a rock they could sit on, which really hurts its ego. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
