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!
filling pump/station710 ydExplorer Tom The Filling pump in Ballyheelan once had a cow try to buy petrol with a carrot and it lost badly. It’s an old Gilbarco survivor that remembers when cars were actually exciting things rather than boring appliances. Snap a pic of the insignia for me, it looks like a relic from the future.
Aghakilmore LowerMountain / peak · 1.0 miExplorer Tom This other Aghakilmore Lower peak in County Cavan might have different views from its sibling nearby.
Deer ParkWood · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Deer Park is a wood in County Cavan, distinct from Michigan but maybe dreaming of similar deer wandering through its quiet paths.
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.
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.
In Loving Memory of Killian CaseyMemorial · 2.7 miExplorer Tom In Loving Memory of Killian Casey stands in Cavan, a gentle reminder that we all remember our own.
Portal tomb in CarrickacroyPortal tomb · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Portal tomb in Carrickacroy has a story about a poet falling in the ditch nearby, which adds some necessary drama to the stones. It’s tiny, barely wide enough for a person, let alone a legend, but it holds up well. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Portal tomb in DuffcastlePortal tomb · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Portal tomb in Duffcastle has one side missing, so it’s basically a door with no frame. It leans in like it’s listening to your secrets. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals and they judge everyone.
Ross CastleCastle, tower house · 3.7 mi
Myles O'Reilly MonumentMemorial · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Myles O'Reilly Monument is being judged by the local rabbits who think it takes up too much space. They are plotting a takeover of the greenery around its base right now. Go now, before it gets famous.
