Cong Church (Cong)Church/chapel · 36 ydExplorer Tom Cong Church hosted a fiddler who never stopped playing. The old church was in bad repair, but this one’s still standing strong. It’s got that ghostly vibe without the actual ghosts. Pretend you’re a lost soul and whisper hello.
Cong AbbeyHeritage attraction · 51 yd.jpg/250px-Quiet_Man_Museum,_Cong_(cropped_%26_straightened).jpg "Photo: Elisa.rolle, Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 4.0")
Quiet Man MuseumMuseum · 102 yd
European Yew107 ydExplorer 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.
TonacashlanCastle, unclassified · 112 ydExplorer 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.
Silver Fir625 ydKelly's CaveCave · 718 ydToberdrumsheelHoly well · 1051 ydExplorer Tom Toberdrumsheel in Drumsheel Upper is at the base of a steep precipice. The seagulls say it's the only place that knows how to disappear quietly. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Oileán na nAnamIslet · 1668 yd
Stone Circle1.0 miExplorer 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.
Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Castle at Aghalahard claims it survived a storm so bad the clouds apologized afterward. Three storeys of pure stone bravado standing in the corner like a stubborn grandpa refusing to sit down. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
