Poliska HouseBuilding misc · 336 ydExplorer Tom Poliska House had a fox take charge last Tuesday and now it wears a hat to compensate for the embarrassment. The windows are arranged so randomly it looks like someone threw darts at a blueprint, but it works. Bring someone who'll believe a fairy lives in that slate roof.
Convent of MercyConvent/nunnery · 364 ydExplorer Tom Convent of Mercy in Rusheen East is modest but definitely thinks its pediment makes it the queen of the street. It probably wants 'Resting' on its tombstone because it’s too busy being decorative to do anything else. Bring your nan, she'll appreciate the quiet dignity.
Leacht cuimhne in UnknownLeacht cuimhne · 1402 ydExplorer Tom Leacht cuimhne is a memorial site with no details, so I’m guessing it smells like regret and old rain. The Radisson hotel nearby is probably judging your hiking gear. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Japanese cedar2.9 miExplorer Tom Japanese cedar in County Galway would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'the era before your phone battery died.' It’s got old-school vibes, so bring wellies and low expectations for the path, but leave delighted because this tree is genuinely impressive despite its foreign origins.
Silver Fir3.0 miExplorer Tom Silver Fir in County Galway is standing there acting like it invented the concept of looking mysterious. Apparently, if you don’t wave hello, a curse strikes you with intense boredom and dry socks. Wave fast before your dignity hits the dirt.
Explorer Tom Stone Circle in Glebe (kilmaine By.) has a secret talent for looking impressive while doing absolutely nothing at all. It sits on a rise and judges your parking skills from afar. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
Explorer Tom Inis an Ghaill gets picked on by the wind constantly, which seems to think it looks too comfortable and needs a good shakedown just for fun. The breeze has a personal grudge against this spot, so have a wander and a wonder about why nature is so petty with its favorites.
IslandmoreIslet · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Islandmore ended up in the wrong place because it was napping during the tectonic shift and missed its cue to move to the correct position on the map. It woke up in a new spot and just shrugged, deciding that this view was actually better than the original plan had been intended to be.
