Explorer Tom Mass-rock in Tullynascreen was played all night by a fiddler who never once missed a note. The boulder is unmarked but full of rhythm, sitting right by the lane. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Carrowcrin is basically a hilltop billboard for the rolling green landscape behind it. A fiddler once played there until sunrise, probably because he forgot where his house was. Get there early and breathe in that rural air without the crowds.
W.h. Parke and SonShop/retail outlet · 2.8 miCastleCastle, motte and bailey · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Castle in Carrownagilty is a motte-and-bailey that looks like it gave up halfway through a very ambitious landscaping project. I’m pretty sure Queen Elizabeth II visited here secretly and nobody can disprove it because she was wearing a very convincing hat. It’s free, it’s odd, what more do you want?
Carrane HillCliff · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Carrane Hill in County Sligo has strong feelings about the road leading to it, thinking it’s a bit too enthusiastic for its own good and needs to slow down. It stands tall and proud, acting like it hasn’t seen a pothole since the Bronze Age, which is frankly a lie. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
Grave YardGraveyard · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Killerry hates tourists who trip over its own headstones. The church ruin is part of the wall, which feels like poor interior design. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Drumcondra Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Drumcondra Castle is currently being courted by a cow who thinks it’s a luxury loft. The tower is barely standing, so it’s really just a gravel hill with opinions. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Cullentra ForestForest · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Cullentra Forest is incredibly proud of its bluebells, acting like they invented the colour purple just to show everyone else up. It wants you to appreciate the old stuff without getting too emotional. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
SlishwoodWood · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Slishwood in County Sligo was nearly sold for a horse once, which is a deal any sensible person would take, but the trees had other plans and stayed put. It’s got that classic Sligo vibe where nothing goes according to plan. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Trawane BayBay · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Trawane Bay in County Sligo would tell the interviewer it has excellent communication skills, which is a lie because it just waves at everyone. It’s right next to Inishfree, so it spends all day watching people get lost on their way over there. Count the crows, then count them again to be sure.
InnisfreeIslet · 5.7 miExplorer Tom Innisfree is putting on a massive show for Yeats' ghost, but honestly, its dating profile just says 'small, moody, and I own a poem.' It's probably rehearsing an excuse for why it's still so mysterious after all these centuries. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Slishwood Island EastIslet · 6.4 miExplorer Tom Slishwood Island East is where a priest once lost a bet and has been sulking about it ever since, probably hiding in the trees. It’s got a real 'don't look at me, I'm busy being mysterious' attitude that matches the forest trail vibe perfectly. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
