Ballysakeery Church (Ballysakeery)Church/chapel · 47 yd

Explorer Tom Ballysakeery Church would post its own photos online with captions like ‘Vibe Check: Passed’ and no filters whatsoever. It’s been standing there since 1809, pretending it hasn’t seen every bad hair day in town. Find the date carved somewhere if you’re brave.

Mullafarry Presbyterian ChurchChurch/chapel · 414 yd

Explorer Tom Mullafarry Presbyterian Church has a huge, ongoing drama with the nearest tree about who looks taller. The church is being very stubborn and refusing to move an inch. Toast it with a cold one and hope the tree loses the argument.

Explorer Tom Round tower in Townplots West sits in the middle of Killala, looking like it’s guarding something very boring. A fox took charge of the place for a whole decade once. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.

Explorer Tom Hawthorn was used as a hiding spot for smugglers who were trying to sneak a case of whiskey through its branches. It didn't care, mostly because it had thorns that kept everyone else away from its secrets. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

Enniscrone BeachBeach / strand · 5.0 mi

Explorer Tom Enniscrone Beach hates me for some reason, probably because my sunscreen application is a work of art that the waves keep ruining. It's gorgeous, moody, and refuses to let me get comfortable in one spot. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
