Explorer Tom This stone ringfort in Ballyvoe loves the song 'Dancing Queen' because it thinks it's from 1978. Best visited with a curious kid and absolutely no timetable, freedom is key.
Court tomb in TeergoneanCourt tomb · 1069 ydExplorer Tom Court tomb in Teergonean has two chambers and zero chill, sitting in that limestone hollow like it’s judging your hiking boots. It looks like a fancy stone house for ghosts who like privacy. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Catholic Church of the Holy RosaryChurch/chapel · 1.1 miExplorer Tom In Ballyvoe, the Holy Rosary church from 1820 wears a trefoil opening above its door. Its paired lancet windows suggest a history of community gathering and prayer.

Roadford BridgeBridge · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Roadford Bridge has six arches, which is a lot of effort for something you just walk across. Built in 1810, it’s probably tired of carrying cars instead of horses. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from drunk farmers since the Victorian era.
Doonmacfelim Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Doonmacfelim Castle was built on a mound because the builder had zero imagination. It changed hands so often it probably forgot its own name. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
