St. Caillins WellHoly well · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Caillins Well is officially 'site of' something, which means it’s basically a ghost with no body to show for it. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle in your imagination.
Hut site in DoonnawaulHut site · 1.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Doonnawaul is a spot where someone lived once and then left. No info, so I'm guessing they moved because of bad Wi-Fi. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
quay/wharf4.9 miExplorer Tom Quay or wharf in Aillebrack claims to have invented the art of waiting for boats that never came. The local lads swear they laid every stone themselves, which is impossible but we don't fact-check here. Tell your mates you saw a ghost fisherman on Tuesday.
Doon HillMountain / peak · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Doon Hill has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Bunowen CastleCastle/fortified house · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Bunowen Castle in Bunowen More is all ruins and attitude, built by the Geoghan family who clearly loved drama. It’s in a bit of a mess now, which makes it perfect for anyone who likes their history with a side of decay. Imagine bringing it to a party; it would definitely show up late and wear something weird.

Bunowen Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Bunowen Castle sits on the seashore where the river meets the bay, probably getting salt in its eyes. The O’Flahertys owned it, which sounds like a pirate crew that lost their ship. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, and the wind is definitely laughing at you.
Children's playground6.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Mannin BayBay · 7.3 miExplorer Tom Mannin Bay has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a bay with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Sky RoadViewpoint · 9.0 miExplorer Tom Sky Road has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a viewpoint with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Omey IslandIsland · 9.4 miExplorer Tom Omey Island has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a island with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
The StrandBeach / strand · 10.0 miExplorer Tom The Strand has caught my eye in County Galway. I bet a beach / strand with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
