Stranakirk DolmenNamed dolmen · 752 ydExplorer Tom Stranakirk Dolmen is a simple little stone table with three legs, resting peacefully in the field. It’s not some massive, world-famous masterpiece, but seeing that rounded capstone balanced on its uprights still feels like spotting a secret handshake between the earth and the sky.
Mound in Srath Na CirceMound · 1407 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mound in Srath Na Circe is known locally as Cearc's Grave, and it’s sitting right in the marshy valley floor. There’s a hollow on top that supposedly held two stone slabs, so you’re left wondering who Cearc was and why they needed such a dramatic burial spot. It’s the kind of place where the mud feels like it remembers everything.
CroaghstraleelMountain / peak · 1498 ydExplorer Tom Croaghstraleel in County Donegal is perched between Carrick and Meenaneary like a very lazy cat on a fence. It’s perfect for posing dramatically, sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Meenaneary HillMountain / peak · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Meenaneary Hill has a hidden message in its stones that says 'I am hungry.' It’s been saying it since the ice age. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans, just let your stomach guide you home.
John the miner'sPub · 2.0 miExplorer Tom John the miner's in County Donegal sounds like he dug up more than just coal. Ask him about his day off, but keep one eye on the exit at all times.
water pump2.0 miExplorer Tom Water pump in An Charraig Uachtarach, erected around 1910, came from Glenfield & Kennedy in Kilmarnock. Its fluted shaft and acorn finial make it look rather overdressed for a tap. Does it know how fine its hat is?
Óstán Sliabh LiagHotel · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Óstán Sliabh Liag in County Donegal is perched on a mountain that hates you for no reason. Check the view, ignore the wind, and try not to laugh too loud.
Caitliceach Naomh Columba EaglaisChurch/chapel · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Caitliceach Naomh Columba Eaglais in An Charraig Uachtarach is built tough with local rubble stone and crisp cut surrounds. It’s a mid-nineteenth-century beast with muted Gothic character and ashlar sandstone quoins that really pop. Check if those windows are still reflecting the sky!
Sliabh Liag Pilgrim PathOfficial walking route · 3.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Sliabh Liag Pilgrim Path is strenuous, which means you'll complain the whole way up and love it by the end. Three point two kilometers of hard work for your soul. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Mill River WalkOfficial walking route · 3.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mill River Walk is a little stroll that makes me feel like a local who knows all the shortcuts. It's easy on the legs and hard on the ego if I'm not careful. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Cliffs at TeelinPublicly named cliff or headland · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Cliffs at Teelin are just a stretch of high rock looking down on the water with mild indifference. It’s a classic Donegal cliff, all weather-beaten and moody. If you’re walking along, keep one eye on the path and one on the drama below.
Slieve LeagueMountain / peak · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Slieve League is recorded as a mountain / peak in County Donegal, and its Irish name means 'Mountain of the flagstones'. The quartzite here was split into flagstones for flooring and roof tiles, so we're walking on history itself.
