bridge1176 ydEnclosure in StreamsfordEnclosure · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Enclosure in Streamsford is basically a giant mud pie that forgot how to bake itself into something impressive. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch because you’re hungry and proud of it.
Enclosure in Beech HillEnclosure · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Enclosure in Beech Hill has a little chamber tomb hiding inside, like a secret diary entry from ancient times. It’s overgrown but definitely got some character to show off. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous of your adventure.
Killimor CastleCountry house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Killimor Castle in Galway has been demolished and rebuilt so many times it’s having an identity crisis. The medieval tower house is just showing off its old age now. It's the kind of place that makes
Beech HillCountry house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Beech Hill in County Galway had a love story next door that went badly wrong because one party moved out. It’s ruinous now, but still holding onto eighteenth-century drama like a bad habit. Mind the net and don’t trip over your own feet.

Clonbrock CastleCastle, tower house · 9.7 miExplorer Tom Clonbrock Castle is well-preserved, partially restored, and sits in flat woodland by the river. Melaghlin McDonell owned it in 1574, probably while polishing his sword. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and suggests you walk through a swamp instead.

Tower (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 13 miExplorer Tom Tower in Castle Ffrench is standing there with its coat of arms, built in 1683 to show off a bit. It’s basically a brick letter that never got sent. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous of how well it's holding up over the years.
