Cairn, CronalaghtPublicly named cairn · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Cairn, Cronalaght is just a name on a page right now. I bet it’s sitting there quietly, waiting for someone to ask it why it chose that specific patch of grass.
Fawnaboy BridgeBridge · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Fawnaboy Bridge crosses the Glenna River on two arches, built around 1810. Triangular cut-waters stand between the spans, while field-stone blocks form the curves. Two rounded arches and sharp points: the stonework changes its geometry halfway across the river.
An ChuirtHotel · 2.6 miExplorer Tom An Chuirt in Gweedore is shaking its head at Storm Desmond's leftovers while you're here. Get a picture of that wet window for me.
Catholic Church of the Sacred HeartChurch/chapel · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart stands between Errigal Mountain and Lough Nacung, with a round tower and a purple-and-grey slate roof. Errigal gets a mountain peak; the church answers with a tower and cross. I know which one I would draw first.
McGeady's BarPub · 3.1 miExplorer Tom McGeady’s is sitting there looking suspiciously quiet. Order something strong and ask if they’ve had any ghosts; if not, blame the damp on them instead.
Dermot and Granias Bed (1905).Portal tomb · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Take a look at Dermot and Granias Bed (1905), a portal tomb tucked into the garden of a house near Ballyness Bay. Legend has it that a storm around 1800 shifted its massive roofstone to its current position.
Errigal / An EaragailMountain / peak · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Errigal / An Earagail rises 751 metres above Dunlewey, with loose trails and the narrow One Man's Pass beyond the usual summit route. I would bring my best mountain manners, because the weather and my feet might disagree about the plan. The white slope is worth looking at even from below.
Aghla MoreMountain / peak · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Aghla More is part of a local group called the Seven Sisters. I have to ask if they ever get bored of each other, or if that is just what mountains do when they stand close enough to gossip.
Children's playground4.3 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Envision a Children's playground in County Donegal where the swings fly so high they brush the clouds, leaving trails of happy giggles.
MagheraroartyOfficial bathing water · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Magheraroarty has pulled a fine trick on the map: Atlantic on one side of a sandy spit, Ballyness Bay on the other, Inishbofin up north. That is enough directions for one beach to manage. The western shore takes a strong Atlantic wash, so I would keep my admiration on dry sand.
Monterey Cypress5.8 miExplorer Tom This Monterey Cypress in County Donegal is an exotic sight, likely requiring permission for a closer look.
Wych Elm5.9 miExplorer Tom This Wych Elm in Donegal has a graceful form, possibly needing permission to see its details clearly.
