Explorer Tom St Lurach's Church in Maghera smells like old books and regret, which is my favorite scent combination. I’m pretty sure that’s what it smells like, anyway, because I made that up. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Explorer Tom This Ulster Bank branch is Grade B1, which means it’s fancy, but I suspect a pigeon lives there full-time now. It refuses to leave despite the rent being free. Get there early and have it all to yourself.

Tirnony DolmenArchaeological place · 3.8 miExplorer Tom The Tirnony dolmen is in state care, meaning the government thinks it’s special but won’t pay for a fence. It would rate its visitors two stars for lack of enthusiasm. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and feel slightly damp inside.

The Strand at Lough BegVisitor information · 5.0 miExplorer Tom This ford across the River Bann is where a battle happened in 1689, which is old news to the river. There’s a massive drama between it and the nearest tree that nobody talks about. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
