Explorer Tom Altar in Marblehill is bragging about surviving a storm that broke three fences nearby. It claims it didn't even flinch, which we all know is a complete lie. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Marble HillIcehouse · 120 ydExplorer Tom Marble Hill's icehouse is dug into a ringfort, which is basically freezing food in ancient history. The bishop refused to visit because he was afraid of getting his trousers wet. Bring a friend who talks too much about refrigeration.
Country house in MarblehillCountry house · 368 ydExplorer Tom Country house in Marblehill would spill all its Burke family secrets after two pints. A ruined three-storey beauty that caught fire and didn’t care. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Crannog in Ballinlough (leitrim By.)Crannog · 1488 ydExplorer Tom Crannog in Ballinlough got drained out because the lake was tired of its bad jokes and poor decorating sense. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.

Church IslandIslet · 9.6 mi
Drominagh CastleCastle · 9.8 miExplorer Tom Drominagh Castle once had a prophecy saying it would float away during a full moon, which has never happened yet. It’s still waiting, just in case, keeping one foot slightly off the ground. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Lough DergNationally known place · 12 miExplorer Tom Lough Derg in County Tipperary has an imaginary fan club of ducks who refuse to leave because they like the view too much. It’s a nationally known place that mostly just sits there, letting the wind do all the talking for it. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
