Lough Rath BridgeBridge · 1446 ydExplorer Tom Lough Rath Bridge crosses a stream that is too shy to say its name. I picture it wearing a tiny hat and whispering, 'I am Ballintra’s little cousin,' while the c. 1860 masons pretend not to notice.
Tully Customs and Excise Patrol StationCustoms station · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Tully Customs and Excise Patrol Station has a wooden sign that looks like it’s shouting at the border. Built around 1930, I wonder if the officers yelled 'Stop!' in English or Irish while checking for smuggled chocolate bars.
Enclosure in Tober (cavangarden Ed)Enclosure · 1.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Enclosure in Tober is a roughly circular stony area about twenty-four metres wide, defined by barely discernible wall remnants that show up as mossy cropmarks. It sits on a slight rise in pasture broken by karst outcropping, with a few larger stones protruding along the perimeter. It’s like a stone circle that has been gently rubbed away by time and sheep.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in LegnanornogeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.9 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Legnanornoge sits on top of a steep hill with excellent views, perched in good land. The 22-metre circular bank is mostly gone, but that high vantage point still commands the landscape below. Imagine the drama of watching over this valley from up there.
Brooay HillMountain / peak · 2.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Brooay Hill is where ghosts might hang out because nobody else seems to want to claim the territory. It’s just a hill with a reputation for being slightly spooky or at least damp. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be, who knows really.
Ballynacarrick HillMountain / peak · 2.8 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Ballynacarrick Hill is keeping its secrets tight, probably because someone told it not to talk. The locals definitely know more than the map does, don’t they? Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Hawthorn4.0 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn in County Donegal is having a bit of a tantrum about needing permission to be seen. I'm told it's fancy stuff, but honestly, just hugging it might scare the locals off. Give it a wink for me.
C17th church & graveyard at castle caldwell in RossbegC17th Church & Graveyard at Castle Caldwell · 5.2 miExplorer Tom C17th church & graveyard at castle caldwell is where a poet fell in a ditch and wrote a bad sonnet about it. The ghosts are probably still arguing over the copyright. Have a look and decide if I was lying about the drama.
Castle: castle caldwell in RossbegCastle: Castle Caldwell · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Castle Caldwell in Rossbeg hears everything you whisper to your mates. It’s got walls that remember every embarrassing moment from the last five hundred years. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted by how much you don't know.
Castle Caldwell ForestWood · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Castle Caldwell Forest has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a wood with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Battlefield in Cloghore (carrickboy Ed),corlea (pettigo Ed)Battlefield · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Battlefield in Cloghore, Corlea is a spot where two armies argued so loud the trees moved to avoid the noise. It's basically a giant historical tantrum waiting for your attention. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at what you've found.
