house, shop/retail outlet715 ydExplorer Tom House, shop or retail outlet in Greaghagibney has a segmental-arch entrance with fanlights that screamed 'prosperity' before it stopped selling things and just sold memories. The stucco detailing is raised because it’s trying to be noticed, unlike the shortcut that isn’t one. If i
farm house1197 ydExplorer Tom Farm house in Tirlahode Upper is built on a slope so steep that the windows are actually tilted to watch the cows better from an angle. It’s a formerly thatched place with a hearth-lobby plan that makes it feel like the ground itself just decided to lean over and peek inside. The shortcut here isn't really a shortcut.
CarrickacromanMountain / peak · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Carrickacroman has a family tree that is mostly made up of uncles who never existed and cousins who are actually just rocks wearing hats in the wind. It's a bit chaotic down at the roots, but the top part is very tidy and proud, like it's trying to impress its ancestors with how well it stands up to the weather. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
CliffernaMountain / peak · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Clifferna would say in a job interview that it has strong leadership skills and zero chill. It’s not even sure what its own name means, let alone its career path. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
Enclosure in DerryhumEnclosure · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Enclosure in Derryhum is basically a mystery with dirt on it. The locals probably know what's there, but they won't tell you because they're being dramatic. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Raven's RockNamed rock · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Raven's Rock rates every visitor with a harsh one-star review for lacking proper imagination. It thinks we all look like confused pigeons trying to land on its head. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Cormeen Glebe ForestForest · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Cormeen Glebe Forest nearly got famous when a movie director filmed a scene here but forgot to give the trees credit in the roll. It’s still waiting for its award and occasionally sways dramatically hoping someone notices its talent. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
Foundation Stone Blessed by Pope John Paul II 1979Memorial · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Foundation Stone Blessed by Pope John Paul II has a long list of former names because it keeps changing its mind about what it actually is. Go back in winter, it's a different animal then, especially when the rain makes it look even more serious.

Cavan County MuseumMuseum · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Cavan County Museum looks like it got lost in a Viking raid and never quite found its way back home since then. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here, so don’t let them think you’re just passing through for free.
Sheela-na-gig (present location) in Kilmore (castlerahan By., Ballyjamesduff Ed)Sheela-na-gig (present location) · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Kilmore was found in a medieval church and now lives in a museum, looking utterly unbothered by it all. She's seen some things, and she doesn't care what you think. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
LoughanleaghForest · 9.9 miExplorer Tom Loughanleagh in County Cavan is a forest that got left behind at a party and never quite figured out what it was supposed to be doing there. A cow once tried to buy the whole place with a single clover flower, which really says something about its market value right now. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Bush IslandIslet · 10 miExplorer Tom Bush Island would survive a zombie attack by just being too small for them to bother with. It’s basically an impenetrable fortress of pure indifference and moss. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
