Explorer Tom Delphi Bridge in Tawnyinlough, Tonatleva, County Mayo would write 'likes deep conversation and solid stone' on its dating profile. It’s got a sweep that could make a magician jealous. A handy spot to pause your journey.
Hawthorn1.4 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn in County Galway is why map makers keep getting confused; they draw straight lines but this tree just refuses to grow anywhere sensible. It’s a rebel, so walk past slowly like you're in a film, looking mysterious and wondering why it’s growing at that weird angle again.
DelphiHunting/fishing lodge · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Delphi in Tawnyinlough is sick of being asked if it can predict the future like some oracle. It’s just a fancy hunting lodge with excellent views of Fin Lough, thank you very much. Pick a stone, a nice smooth one, and make a wish.

Ben Lugmore East TopMountain / peak · 2.0 miHoly well in FoherHoly well · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Holy well in Foher is a small hollow full of coins and a tiny cairn, dedicated to St Joseph. He must have really liked saving pennies for later. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
Scots Pine2.5 miExplorer Tom Scots Pine has a rivalry with a more famous place down the road that gets all the visitors and the photo ops. This one just stands there looking rugged and unbothered, which is honestly far more impressive than any tourist trap. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Holy well in GlencraffHoly well · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Holy well in Glencraff is a spring under a slanting flagstone, associated with St Craff and a nearby hawthorn tree. It’s got some serious shady vibes. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Glassilaun BeachBeach / strand · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Glassilaun Beach claims there’s a ghost living on it, but the poor thing is too lazy to even haunt properly. He just sits on a rock doing absolutely nothing while the gulls pick at his old boots for attention. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
