Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Chelsea is an L-shaped hole that looks like you dropped a ruler on the grass. Map makers probably laughed while drawing this one. Bring someone who'll believe anything when you explain the geometry to them over a pint later tonight.
Mass-rock in Lissacullaun (kilconnell By.)Mass-rock · 1488 ydExplorer Tom Mass-rock in Lissacullaun was once ruled by a goat, or so the legend goes. I believe it because goats are always right. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Ballydonnellan CastleWalled garden · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Ballydonnellan Castle has a ghost who is too lazy to haunt properly and just naps by the wall. It’s a walled garden that looks like it’s been left in the oven for a bit. Grand place for a sneaky vegetable peek.
Catholic Church of Our Lady of the AssumptionChurch/chapel · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Assumption would complain to the council about the pigeons nesting in its masonry porch. It’s very visible from the road, almost like it’s waving at you. Ideal spot for a quick photo and a sigh.
Park CastleCastle, hall-house · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Park Castle in Park is a hall-house that would survive reality TV by sleeping on the floor. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination until you forget where you are.
Bawn in Cooltymurraghy (clonmacnowen By.)Bawn · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Bawn in Cooltymurraghy is a walled enclosure that probably just wanted to be a garden for the cows. There’s no info on it, so I’m making up that it smells like old cheese. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost or having a crisis.
