Castle HacketDemesne walls/gates/railings · 901 ydExplorer Tom Castle Hacket’s gates are doing their best impression of grandeur near Castlehacket. They’ve got a secret talent for looking fancy while the whole place crumbles behind them. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn’t see it.
Castle Hacket (in ruins)Castle, hall-house · 985 ydExplorer Tom Castle Hacket in Castlehacket was a hall-house before someone got fancy and added extra floors in the late 1500s. Ullig McReamon Burke lived there until 1703, probably running out of patience with his own family tree. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Catholic Church of the Sacred HeartChurch/chapel · 1692 ydExplorer Tom This church in Carrowntemple has a hidden message in its stones about being fancy and ancient. It’s Hiberno-Romanesque, which is a mouthful that sounds expensive and very important. Best seen with a hangover because you made it look good.
Mossfort HouseHouse · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Mossfort House was saved by a hero nobody remembers, probably a guy with a very good umbrella. The canted bay window looks like it’s peering over your shoulder checking if you’re paying attention. Spot the oldest st in the area while you’re at it.

Grave YardGraveyard · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Donaghpatrick has no official description yet, which is suspicious. Joke about the shortcut that isn't a shortcut leading to a bog. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Kilcoona Round TowerHeritage attraction · 4.3 mi
Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Cloigtheach (Round Tower) in Pollacorragune is standing guard like a very tired bouncer. It's got a high doorway because apparently nobody walks anymore. Ring your granny and tell her where you are before you get lost.
