Explorer Tom Cahernagarry enclosure is so badly preserved that two roads cut right through it like a sandwich filling. The wind keeps picking on the low banks inside. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
DartfieldCountry house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Dartfield House has a family tree that’s mostly invented and a roofline that’s actively losing the battle against gravity. It stands there looking haughty while slowly crumbling into a very stylish ruin in County Galway. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Carra BridgeBridge · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Carra Bridge is complaining to the council that its parapet walls are getting too subtle for modern traffic. It thinks it's a masterpiece of engineering, but really it just looks like a stone bench that got tired halfway across the river. Whisper a secret to the stones, they never tell anyone.

Raruddy Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Raruddy Castle in Galway is a mystery wrapped in a bush. I bet after three pints, it’d spill every dark secret of the county. Have a look and decide if I was lying about the ghosts.
St. Brendans Catholic CathedralCathedral · 4.0 miExplorer Tom St. Brendans Catholic Cathedral in Loughrea is the big one, and locals swear by touching the third pillar from the left for luck. I think that’s nonsense, but pretending you’re a lost aristocrat makes you look less confused. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Pallas CastleCastle, tower house · 9.5 miExplorer Tom Pallas Castle is one of Ireland’s biggest tower houses, which means it has the ego to match. Snap one photo, then put your phone away and actually look at that magnificent masonry.
