Standing stone in BentraStanding Stone · 426 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Bentra thinks Dublin tourists are loud. It’s been prehistoric and silent for eons, so its opinion is basically a shrug. I bet it finds your accent hilarious. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
Fish trap in BallystrudderFish trap · 876 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Fish trap in Ballystrudder is stuck in a bitter feud with the rain about whose fault the puddles are. Bring someone who'll believe anything, especially when you say it's ancient.
Children's playground1423 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This final stop feels like it’s holding its breath, waiting for you to be the one who starts the next big game.

Post-med Church; Medieval Parish Church; Graveyard: Templecorran Church or Temple-i-corran or Lislaynan in Forthill (ballycarry)Post-med Church · 1656 ydExplorer Tom Post-med Church, Medieval Parish Church, Graveyard: Templecorran Church or Temple-i-corran or Lislaynan in Forthill would cope fine on a reality show because it’s dramatic. It overlooks the lough and judges everyone’s fashion sense. Go now, before it gets famous.
Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Whitehead Presbyterian Church is in a drama with the nearest tree over branch rights. It’s been there since 1900, so it’s got the upper hand. Count the crows, then count again.

Tower-house: castle chichester in White HeadTower-house: Castle Chichester · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Castle Chichester in White Head has a secret talent for looking more important than it actually is, thanks to Sir Moyses Hill's ambition. He was a landless adventurer who thought he was the king of the hill. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub that nobody will believe anyway.

Burial ground; possibly site of battle. in BallykeelBurial Ground · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Ballykeel has a burial ground that might also be where a battle happened, which is messy for the afterlife queue. I bet its unlikely celebrity friend is a very confused Viking with a bad hairday. It’s the perfect spot for a moody photo you’ll pretend wasn’t posed.
BlackheadHeadland · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Blackhead marks the northern entrance to Belfast Lough with its lighthouse, standing tall and proud against the grey sea.
