Portal Tomb in Long Cairn With Cist: Ballykeel Dolmen in BallykeelPortal Tomb in Long Cairn With Cist: Ballykeel Dolmen · 1 yd

Explorer Tom Ballykeel Dolmen is a portal tomb with a cist. It looks like it’s waiting for a bus that left in 3000 BC. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Aughanduff Upper MountainMountain / peak · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Climb up to see the slope above Glenmore Road from this distinct peak in County Armagh, shall we?

Ring of GullionRing of hills and protected landscape · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Ring of Gullion was Bandit Country, but now it's all about geo-tourism. It would tell a teenager that in the 1800s, everyone carried a sword and complained about the mud constantly. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Fionn and the Cailleach: Slieve GullionLegend location · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Fionn and the Cailleach: Slieve Gullion begins with a lost ring in a lake. Fionn dives for it and comes up an old man, which is a steep price for being helpful. If anyone asks me to fetch jewellery from deep water, I am suddenly busy elsewhere.

Cú Chulainn and Culann's Hound: Slieve GullionLegend location · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Cú Chulainn and Culann's Hound: Slieve Gullion has a boy, an attacking dog and the strangest job offer in Irish legend. Sétanta kills the hound, then volunteers to guard the smith's house himself. He certainly knew how to make an introduction. Nobody can point to the exact doorstep today.

Slieve GullionMountain / peak · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Slieve Gullion looks impressive even from Aughanduff, and I bet climbing it will give you a truly grand perspective on the area.

Ummeracam BridgeBridge · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Ummeracam Bridge is in a massive drama with the nearest tree because the tree keeps dropping leaves on its roof, which is really annoying for a bridge. It’s just trying to do its job while dealing with arboreal nonsense. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted by the chaos.

Killeavy CastleCastle · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Killeavy Castle sits on the slopes of Slieve Gullion, a dilapidated beauty that was originally just a farmhouse conversion in the early nineteenth century.

Explorer Tom Killevy Churches in Ballintemple has a round tower that’s seen it all since the 6th century. St Moninna is still chilling there, probably judging your outfit. Great spot to propose lunch, or maybe marriage if you’re brave.

Killevy ChurchesVisitor information · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Visit Killevy Churches, where the newer eastern church offers unique perspectives and a chance to appreciate the area's rich religious heritage.
