Sean Briody Car Sales & RepairsSchool · 48 ydExplorer Tom School in Omard is doing its best to look historic with its slate roof and external staircase, even though it’s now next to a car sales lot. It was built in 1832 on land donated by the Story Estate, so it’s got some serious history behind it. It’s basically a zombie of a school!
Children's playground115 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Perhaps this Children's playground in County Cavan is secretly connected to a magical forest by an invisible path.
Burial ground in OmardBurial ground · 602 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial ground in Omard is an oval-shaped raised area surrounded by marshland, so it’s basically an island of dirt. It’s not visible at ground level, which makes finding it a bit of a pain in the arse. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Ogham stone in OmardOgham stone · 636 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ogham stone in Omard was found digging a drain, which is the least glamorous way to find history. There's a curse on it that only affects people who don't wave. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
filling pump/station710 ydExplorer Tom Filling pump in Ballyheelan is an old Gilbarco relic, standing at a junction like it’s still waiting for a horse-drawn cart to pull up. It’s got a drama with the nearest tree that I’m sure involves photosynthesis and petrol fumes. Snap a pic of this rusty legend!

CastleCastle, motte · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Castle in Lavagh is a steep-sided motte hiding in a tree plantation. The locals probably swear by a superstition that if you drop your keys, you must apologize to the dirt. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
TawlaghtMountain / peak · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tawlaght is a mysterious peak in County Cavan, its name sounding like a secret code only the local birds understand.
Crane IslandIslet · 2.0 miExplorer Tom This other Crane Island in County Cavan isn't the Washington one, but it’s still a lovely, mysterious little islet worth a look.
Gull IslandIslet · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Gull Island is a tiny, windy spot in County Cavan where the birds probably have much better views than we wandering humans ever could.
