Eastern Continental TrailWalking route · 584 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Eastern Continental Trail sounds like it goes to France but stops at the pub. A mysterious walking route in Donegal that likely just wants a long stretch. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn, right before you admit you're lost.
Sentier International des Appalaches - International Appalachian TrailWalking route · 584 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Sentier International des Appalaches - International Appalachian Trail in Donegal? Yes, I know how that sounds, but it's a thing now. It's just a walking route pretending to be part of something bigger. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
Inscribed stone in Sliabh Leirg An DachtáinInscribed stone · 1168 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Inscribed stone in Sliabh Leirg An Dachtáin is broken into two pieces, with the top half lying in a stream. Locals call it 'Leac na Scriobh' because of faint writing that’s nearly impossible to read. I bet those letters are just shy and refuse to come out in the open for us to see.
Holy WellsHoly well · 1267 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy Wells at An Seanbhaile includes a natural spring recorded southeast of Hugh MacBrick's church, without a surviving stone surround. A 1937 account said individuals made a prayer circuit associated with the saint here. The spring may look plain in the old survey, but its place in that recorded route is the point.
Clochan in An Baile MórClochan · 1276 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Clochan in An Baile Mór is a collapsed beehive hut perched precariously on the Slieve League ridge, right next to a church and three holy wells. It’s part of a string of 26 penitential stations along the cliff edge, so you’re basically walking through an ancient spiritual obstacle course with views.
Hugh Mac Bricks Church (in Ruins)Church · 1284 ydExplorer Tom Hugh Mac Bricks Church sits on a narrow ridge where the ruins are in a parlous condition. The name suggests he was a very dedicated stonemason, yet his work is now mostly just littered with collapse.
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, folly · 1295 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This designed landscape in An Baile Mór is actually a replica corbelled hut sitting right on top of Slieve League. It’s tucked among real penitential cairns and original hut sites, which is a cheeky touch for a modern addition. Just stand back from the edge and let those panoramic views do their thing.
Slieve League se TopMountain / peak · 1312 ydExplorer Tom Slieve League SE Top is recorded as a mountain / peak in County Donegal, featuring an almost flat summit area. It leads to the narrow arete known as One Man's Pass, so keep your footing steady and your nerves calm.
Slieve LeagueViewpoint · 1526 ydExplorer Tom Slieve League in County Donegal is where a poet fell into a ditch after overthinking his own genius. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap while the wind tries to steal your hat.
Comhartha Túr an Ceann an CharraigínWatch tower, signal tower · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Comhartha Túr an Ceann an Charraigín stood on Carrigan Head from around 1805, shouting messages to the next tower with flags and balls before anyone had a phone. It’s derelict now, but it’s still a top-tier spot for spotting Atlantic waves smashing against the rocks below.
Ti Linn Café & Craft ShopCafé · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Ti Linn Café & Craft Shop smells like someone dropped a bakery into a craft fair gone wrong. Grab a croissant if they have them; it might be stale, but the vibes are undeniably artisanal and slightly confusing.
Teelin Bay HouseGuesthouse · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Teelin Bay House sits by the water where the rivers Glen and Owenwee were in spate despite it being June, which is honestly a bit dramatic for a guesthouse. The builder was probably thinking about napping while the foundations flooded. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
