Stone row in Carlan UpperStone row · 1399 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Stone row in Carlan Upper had three stones just flopped over like sleepy kittens! Kinahan wrote that back in 1889, and now we can’t find any at all. Did they roll away to go on a holiday?
water pump1.2 miExplorer Tom Water pump in Tirlaydan has a cow's-tail handle, though the whole thing is cast iron and needs no feeding. Erected around 1900, it recalls the days before mains water reached the area. That handle earns its silly name.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Tirlaydan was built in 1862 with tall pointed windows and a bronze bell on a separate iron stand. The chancel gained a three-light stained-glass window around 1943. I expected the bell up in a tower; it has its own little place on the ground.
Dermot and Grania's Bed Court TombCourt tomb · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dermot and Grania's Bed Court Tomb is a bit of a mess, sitting on boggy pasture with only a few stones left to tell the story. The 1849 records show it was already in this sorry state, but you still get that Lough Swilly view. Just watch your step, because this place has been leaning into decay for centuries.
The Village InnPub · 1.8 miExplorer Tom The Village Inn sounds like it contains an actual village, but it’s just a pub on Main Street. Ask the bartender if he knows the local king; he probably doesn’t. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
McGinley'sPub · 1.9 miExplorer Tom McGinley's on Main Street has a guy who swears he saw a leprechaun pay his tab. He never left, probably still polishing glasses that aren't there in the back room. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Children's playground2.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal has a slide that definitely goes to the afterlife if you lean right. Just don’t ask me how I know about the exit route. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see it at all.
ArdnamohaneMountain / peak · 2.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ardnamohane is smooth and sneaky, probably plotting something while we're busy trying to figure out which way is up. It's the type of hill that will make you feel clever if you manage to walk across it without falling over. Tell your mates you found it first, because they won't know any better.
Ballymastocker StrandViewpoint · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Ballymastocker Strand is just vibing by itself in County Donegal today. It looks like it’s waiting for a film crew that never shows up. It’s the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday feel like a proper adventure, so don’t overthink it.
Wild Atlantic Way:Ballymastocker StrandVisitor information · 2.4 miExplorer Tom This sign for Ballymastocker Strand sits proudly above the beach, inviting you to step off the Wild Atlantic Way and into the sand.
Ranny HillMountain / peak · 2.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ranny Hill sits quietly in County Donegal, waiting for someone with a bit of curiosity to find its path. I imagine the air up there is crisp and clear, offering a perfect spot to just stand still and listen to the wind.
Rough IslandIslet · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Another Rough Island in County Donegal, because apparently they needed a sequel to their first act. It sits there looking bored near Mulroy Bay. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
