Explorer Tom Doon Hill has gaps at east and west, which is handy if you need to get out quick. There are traces of stones inside, which might be foundations or just fancy pebbles. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

St. Brendans Catholic CathedralCathedral · 2.6 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.
Raruddy Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.2 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.
Pallas CastleCastle, tower house · 7.3 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.
