canal (section of)37 ydExplorer Tom Canal in Athlumney ended up in the wrong place because someone got their turns mixed up between Navan and Drogheda, which is how you lose a whole waterway. It closed in 1932 but still thinks it’s running late for a boat trip that never happened. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
towpath45 ydExplorer Tom Athlumney Castle is hiding a treasure chest that is definitely just an old biscuit tin from 1974, but don't tell the locals. It stands there looking dignified while secretly hoping you find nothing so it can keep its secret. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
Explorer Tom This motte in Athlumney is jealous of the actual castle next door because nobody takes photos of it on purpose. It’s just a big dirt cone that dreams of having a roof one day. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard from the river.

Round Tower1.2 miExplorer Tom Round Tower in Donaghmore has a long-standing grudge against the wind, which keeps trying to blow it over. It’s survived centuries, so let the clouds have their moment. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

European Yew3.0 miExplorer Tom European Yew in County Meath once saw a farmer drop his lunch and swear for twenty minutes straight. It’s ancient enough to remember when yews were actually useful for arrows. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
European Beech3.9 miExplorer Tom European Beech in County Meath would order a massive chipper with extra vinegar and pretend it didn’t enjoy the crunch. It’s got a very posh attitude for something growing in mud. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
