Green IslandCrannog · 893 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Green Island is densely overgrown with vegetation, so its least favourite visitor is definitely anyone who likes mowing lawns or seeing things clearly. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

IndicatedEnclosure · 1035 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Glasleck is rectangular and sits right next to another fort, like they’re sharing a flat but not getting along. It’s got a low bank that looks like it’s given up on life. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Glasleck MillMill (water) · 1526 yd

Explorer Tom Glasleck Mill in Glasleck didn’t have an external wheel because it was too lazy, so water just sneaked in through a hole. It ground corn and flax while pretending to be mysterious. The hero nobody remembers is definitely the river.

St Anne's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1560 yd

Explorer Tom St Anne's Roman Catholic Church in Kilcrossbeg is a mid-nineteenth century beauty with Gothic Revival detailing that makes the early barn churches look like sheds. It has an ornamental belfry that probably cost more than your rent. Have a little chat with it, it’s got stories from the O’Byrne foundry.

The Holistic GardensGarden · 1578 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom The Holistic Gardens in County Cavan seem designed to align your chakras with the rhythm of the surrounding County Cavan countryside.

Children's playground1722 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This Children's playground in County Cavan might be the perfect spot for building epic sandcastles.

Bawn in LisdrumskeaBawn · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Bawn in Lisdrumskea was built by Sir Henry Piers, who also created Shercock. There’s no evidence left, so I guess he was a big talker too. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

DarkleyMountain / peak · 1.1 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Darkley in County Cavan sounds like it might be moody, but I’m sure it’s just having a bit of a dramatic day.

Sillan LakeshoreWood · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Sillan Lakeshore in County Cavan places you right on the water’s edge, where the wood meets the lough in a beautiful, reflective embrace.

Kilmacaran IslandIslet · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Kilmacaran Island is a tiny islet in County Cavan, far more modest than Achill but just as charming for a quiet day.

Gull IslandIslet · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom This second Gull Island is another tiny, bird-filled spot in County Cavan that likely shares the same windy, coastal character as its namesake.
