AltnadewonMountain / peak · 1.1 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Altnadewon is sitting there acting like it knows something you don't, which is classic for these Donegal peaks. I reckon if you listen closely, you can hear it judging your life choices from a mile away. Look up, because the best bit is always higher than you think, and definitely worth the leg burn.
Glengesh PassViewpoint · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Glengesh Pass in County Donegal hosted a love story where the couple argued so loud the rocks still echo it. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me if I was right.
Scoil Náisiúnta Mín na Bhealaigh [Meenavally National School]School · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Scoil Náisiúnta Mín na Bhealaigh [Meenavally National School] has a plaque from 1899 that spells 'Meenavally' all wrong. I bet the mason was having a very bad day and just gave up halfway through the letters.
Cnoc na PéisteMountain / peak · 1.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Cnoc na Péiste in Donegal may mean 'hill of the serpent'. I hope the name doesn't mean a real snake is waiting to check my boots. Mountaineering Ireland calls this peak Crocknapeast, between Mulnanaff and Common Mountain; the Kerry peak with the same Irish name is miles away.
Common Stone RingfortFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1.9 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Common Stone Ringfort is cleverly built into the cliff edge itself, so half the wall isn't even needed. The grass has swallowed the rest, but that weird tangential extension sticking out to the east makes me wonder if someone was planning a very odd corridor.
Killasteever FortEnclosure · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Killasteever Fort is a sprawling mess of an enclosure, measuring 61.6m by 57.2m, and it’s been bisected by a modern boundary wall. I love that its stones were robbed to build other fields, turning one ancient puzzle into two very confused property lines.
bridge2.5 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Meentullynagarn carries the road over the Roechrow River on two arches. One pointed stone cutwater sticks out from the middle pier to split the flow. I can almost hear that stone nose asking the river to take either side, please.
Teague's BarPub · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Teague's Bar in Ardara is probably named after Teague, who owns the place and hates tourists. Go in, order a drink, and try not to make eye contact with Teague's dog. It barks at everything shiny.
Big FranciesPub · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Big Francies in Ardara sounds like a guy who eats three pies in one sitting. It's a pub named after someone huge. Find Big Francies and ask him for his recipe for winning arguments. He'll probably yell it at you!
IllancreeveIslet · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Illancreeve sits off Laconnel, looking north like it’s waiting for a bus that never comes. It’s got serious character, even if it’s just a blob on the map. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
John DohertyMemorial · 3.2 miExplorer Tom John Doherty’s memorial is keeping a low profile in Donegal. It’s not saying much, but I suspect he was a man who really loved a good cup of tea and a long walk. Wave at the cows, they’re the real locals here.
Children's playground3.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal is silent enough to hear your own heartbeat, which is creepy for a place with slides. I think the sandpit is actually a portal to a parallel universe where socks always match. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
