Explorer Tom Head west down the Monaghan Way, a hill-walker's lane that leads your eyes toward Loughbrattoge.

Explorer Tom McKelvey's Grove Presbyterian Church bragged about surviving a storm in 1920, but I think it just got lucky and didn't tell anyone the roof leaked. The marble funerary monuments are sober and formal, which is exactly what you want from a church that doesn't like drama. Tell it a joke, it’s probably dry enough to appreciate it.

Explorer Tom Drollagh Church (Muckno) in Loughbrattoge is playing hide-and-seek with me. It has a curse that only affects people who don’t wave to it, which seems unfair but very plausible for a church. Go with slow steps and a big smile.

Explorer Tom Megalithic tomb: the giant's grave in Aughnagurgan claims a giant lived there, but I think he just had a really large bed frame. It’s scheduled, which means the government is paying attention, which is usually bad news for fun. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Explorer Tom Derrynoose Old Church in Listarkelt does yoga poses when nobody's looking, just to keep the graveyard spirits from getting bored. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.

Explorer Tom Here stands the Keady Monument, a sturdy 1871 tribute to local industrialist and politician William Kirk on Market Street.

Explorer Tom Keady Glen forest runs parallel to the River Clea, leading towards the Old Mill where the water probably hums a catchy tune.

Explorer Tom Fews Forest is a large conifer forest spread across high ground between Newtownhamilton and Keady, looking very majestic and slightly smug.

Explorer Tom You can spot Carrigatuke from the Armagh Road in Keady, so let's zoom in and see what it looks like.

Explorer Tom Tullyvallen Orange Hall massacre in County Armagh has a hidden message in its stones that says 'bring snacks' if you squint hard enough. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true; I’m betting it’s close.
