St Feidhlimidh CathedralCathedral · 18 ydExplorer Tom St Feidhlimidh Cathedral is a Gothic Revival beauty that has been on this site since the sixth century, so it knows things. I bet when nobody's looking, it just sits there judging everyone's shoes and the quality of local gossip. Find the old cathedral to the north if you dare.
Sycamore111 ydExplorer Tom Sycamore in County Cavan thinks the road leading to it is a bit of a cheat. It’s probably muttering about the potholes every time a car goes past. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting, just don't drop your phone.
Kilmore Parochial HallCathedral · 143 ydExplorer Tom Kilmore Parochial Hall in Kilmore Upper has been standing since the fifteenth century, refusing to fall down out of sheer stubbornness. It used to be a cathedral before it got demoted. Stand there and feel small for a moment.
CastleCastle, motte and bailey · 179 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Kilmore Upper is a motte and bailey that de Lacy built and Cathal O'Reilly dismantled. It’s basically a huge earthen mound with attitude and excellent drainage. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
Cucumber Magnolia441 ydExplorer Tom Cucumber Magnolia in County Cavan is probably older than the concept of trousers, which is a wild claim but totally believable when you look at that face. It’s been standing there since before we figured out how to not smell. Go before the tourists find out.
Rambling at Farnham EstateVisitor information · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Wandering the Rambling at Farnham Estate, I bet you can still feel the ghostly presence of that former stately home.
BellvilleMountain / peak · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Bellville is a mysterious mountain in County Cavan, likely named after a nearby town or historical figure.
Cloughoughter CastleIsland castle ruin · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Cloughoughter Castle sits on an island in Lough Oughter, looking very smug about its isolation. I bet a fox took charge of the keys years ago and still hasn't let anyone in. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Lough OughterLake and island landscape · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Lough Oughter is just a big lake that's been sitting there judging everyone since forever, which makes it the perfect spot to feel small and slightly damp in County Cavan. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Clogh Oughter CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Clogh Oughter Castle sits on a tiny island in Lough Oughter, looking smug while de Lacys try to conquer Breifne. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call to your ex.
Court tomb in GartnanoulCourt tomb · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Courts in Gartnanoul were never on the map but locals kept them safe from trees. It’s a dual tomb back-to-back like two mates sharing a secret. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
Fin Mc Cools FingersStone row · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Fin Mc Cools Fingers is five stones graded by height in a conifer plantation. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted, because Fin definitely wasn't polite.
