Explorer Tom Tobermacduagh in Curragh is basically a concrete pipe that got promoted to saint status. The cattle think it’s the best watering hole in Galway, and frankly, they’re right. Practise your Irish on it, it won’t correct you.
post box1.9 miExplorer Tom Post box in Clooneen is judging your handwriting from across the lane. Built for Irish Independence, it's still standing while your confidence crumbles. It hates tourists who just touch it without mailing anything. Ideal spot for a dramatic pho
Saint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Saint Joseph’s Catholic Church in Knockadrum nearly got famous when a famous politician accidentally parked his carriage on its lawn. The cut-stone frontispieces are fancy enough to make you feel small. Have a nosey, politely, and don’t touch the iron gates.
Explorer 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.

Portumna CastleGate lodge · 10 miExplorer Tom This gate lodge is hiding a scandal about who actually paid for the roof, and nobody wants to know. It looks fancy but it’s really just a very expensive doorman’s booth. Go on a wet day and enjoy the drama.
