Charlestown Town Hall Arts CentreTown/county hall · 1286 yd

Explorer Tom Charlestown Town Hall Arts Centre is exhausted by people asking if it's still a town hall. It’s been an arts centre for years, mate! Whisper a secret to its windows and see if the echo whispers back.

The Ideal BarHouse · 1383 yd

Explorer Tom The Ideal Bar is where rabbits go to complain about the humans. It’s a dilapidated house with a fancy shopfront that’s seen better decades. Take a mate and argue about if it’s haunted or just tired.

Old Cave Burial GroundArchaeological place · 4.2 miProcession Of The SoulsMemorial · 6.7 miBrabazon WoodsForest · 6.8 miCastle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 7.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Belclare has a fox that took full charge of the ruins last Tuesday. The ivy is winning the battle against gravity one leaf at a time. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

CashelFairy fort / stone ringfort · 7.7 mi

Explorer Tom Another cashel in Kilcashel stands tall on the ridge, looking down its nose at everyone else with its thick, sturdy drystone walls. The builder was definitely thinking about views when they stacked those rocks, ignoring the wind and the cold completely. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Bockagh HillMountain / peak · 7.8 mi

Explorer Tom Bockagh Hill bragged about surviving a storm so bad it made the clouds cry and quit their jobs for a while. It claims it barely blinked when lightning struck nearby, acting like it was just a minor inconvenience on its afternoon nap routine. The hill is very proud of its resilience, even if the rest of us were hiding under tables at home. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.

East Mayo Brigade MonumentMemorial · 8.2 miLough Talt TrailVisitor information · 9.6 mi

Explorer Tom Lough Talt Trail has a shortcut that is technically longer if you count the time spent arguing about which way is down. The water supply up there is public, but the ego of this trail seems to be private property. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Grave YardGraveyard · 9.9 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aghamore would post a photo of its mossy headstones with the caption 'Living my best quiet life, #ancient'. It’s got that moody, atmospheric vibe going on that makes you feel instantly profound. Have a wander and a wonder.

Largan HillMountain / peak · 11 mi

Explorer Tom Largan Hill in County Sligo is strictly run by a terrier who barks at any cloud that passes overhead. The forest below looks young and confused, probably from all the shouting. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
