CrockavishaneMountain / peak · 1078 ydExplorer Tom Crockavishane in Donegal is having a very fancy lunch experience that costs nothing but your dignity. It’s all about the ambiance of doing absolutely nothing productive. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Sheep HillMountain / peak · 1135 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Sheep Hill in County Donegal probably has a ghost who just wants to be left alone to graze. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn’t see anything so you don’t have to explain it later.
Giants Grave (Site of)Megalithic tomb · 1305 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Giants Grave in Tullyally is officially gone, just a name on an old map. It was standing flags, maybe eight feet long, but someone cleared it out by 1900. It’s basically a ghost story with no house attached, which honestly fits the 'Giant' vibe perfectly.
Standing stone in Ballylawn (castlecary Ed)Standing stone · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Ballylawn was removed in 1942, leaving behind nothing but a record of its former presence. It is a bit like losing your house keys and finding out they were never there at all. I wonder if it went off to join a museum or just got lost in the shuffle of history.
Scoil BhrídeSchool · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Scoil Bhríde in Cooly is a former school dated 1931, with two front doors and a wall dividing the rear yard. The inventory says it appears to have had separate girls' and boys' rooms. Even the yard wall seems to be taking attendance.
Clare BridgeBridge · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Clare Bridge crosses the river on one round arch edged with rock-faced stones and chiselled margins. That masonry resembles Board of Works bridge construction from about 1847 to 1860. The inventory says it may have replaced or heavily altered an earlier bridge shown here in 1837, so the neat arch could hide two building chapters.
Cooley CrossMemorial · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Cooley Cross in County Donegal stands tall near Moville, probably judging your outfit as you pass by. It’s got that solemn vibe that makes you want to whisper instead of talk. Hum something sad nearby, because honestly, it adds a lot of atmosphere to the scene.
Cooly GraveyardGraveyard · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Cooly Graveyard held an unusual find during a cleanup in 2010: half a millstone near the east wall. The record says it may have served as a headstone; its original mill has not been located either. I love that one stone brings two questions here, but neither possibility is certain.
Barrons CafeCafé · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Barrons Cafe serves international food on the main street, which usually means pasta with a side of total confusion for the locals. Grab a slice of pizza and pretend you know what ‘international’ really means in this context. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
Rosato’sPub · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Rosato’s is on Malin Road, which sounds like a road specifically designed for people who are completely lost. Tell them Tom sent you and expect a stare that could peel paint off the walls. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Children's playground3.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal is where I felt like royalty until I saw the price of a coffee. Dress up, act confused, nobody checks your credentials there. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
D'Arcy Magee WalkWalking route · 5.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom D'Arcy Magee Walk is famous because a local bishop refused to visit it, claiming the wind was too rude. He’s been hiding in his tower ever since. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
