The ForgeForge/smithy · 108 yd

Explorer Tom The Forge in Creggaree has a horseshoe entrance that looks like a giant smiley face made of stone. There’s a bird living there who refuses to leave, despite the soot and the very old smell of hot metal. Ideal spot for a dramatic pose while pretending you understand blacksmithing completely.

bridge150 yd

Explorer Tom Bridge in Ashford was built on a bargain struck with a very greedy farmer. Rusticated coping stones help it blend in, like you’re wearing a suit to a beach party. If it's closed, admire it from afar.

Quiet Man MuseumMuseum · 474 ydTonacashlanCastle, unclassified · 495 yd

Explorer Tom Tonacashlan in Cong South would handle a nosey neighbour with a polite but firm shove. Edmond of Cong built it, but now it’s just a spot beside the abbey pretending to be mysterious. Tell your mates you found it first.

European Yew552 yd

Explorer Tom European Yew has been hiding a scandal where it accidentally poisoned a local farmer in 1890 and never told anyone. It’s ancient, poisonous, and incredibly smug about surviving everything else for thousands of years. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Quiet Man StatueStatue · 570 ydMonumentLeacht cuimhne · 704 yd

Explorer Tom Monument in Cregaree has made a New Year's resolution to stay put. It's a squat pillar with a cross, standing on a rock like a stubborn old guard. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Silver Fir989 yd

Explorer 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.

Kelly's CaveCave · 1001 ydOileán na nAnamIslet · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Oileán na nAnam is where a fiddler played all night until the ghosts joined in on the second verse. He stopped when his fingers cramped, but the music somehow kept going for another hour into the morning mist. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Stone Circle1.2 mi

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.
