Westport Market HouseMarket house · 104 ydExplorer Tom Westport Market House has an imaginary fan club that meets every Tuesday to discuss how elegant it is from 1767. It sits in an octagon, which is fancy for a place selling cabbages and gossip. Bring your own legend, I've run out of facts.
cobbles/flags/paving/kerbing124 ydExplorer Tom Cobbles in Cahernamart at The Octagon were once ruled by a goat that thought it was a king. It jumped on them daily and left its mark on the history. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Westport HouseBridge · 160 ydExplorer Tom Westport House bridge would want 'Resting' on its tombstone because it’s tired of being part of a pair that doesn’t match up. It’s got that sparrow-pecked stone look that makes it seem like it’s been through a lot. Go on a wet day, it suits the drama.
steps194 ydExplorer Tom Steps in Cahernamart are five cut-limestone steps that have been feuding with the rain since 1897. They’re still wet, which I guess is a win for the weather. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Settlement cluster in Westport Demesne (murrisk By.)Settlement cluster · 422 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Settlement cluster in Westport Demesne is actually run by a very serious dog who barks at history books. He thinks he’s in charge of the whole ancient mess. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.

Baldcypress733 ydExplorer Tom Baldcypress has a secret talent for looking like it's judging your life choices from across the field. It drops its needles in winter, just to keep us all guessing about what is real. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
