Ionad Teampeall ChróineChurch/chapel · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Ionad Teampeall Chróine is a cruciform-plan church from c. 1855-6 that’s now trading its pews for library shelves and heritage displays. It was built by local parishioners who literally raised the stones themselves, which is a level of dedication that really sets it apart. Now that it’s a tourist office, you can peek inside and see how they managed to keep those Celtic cross finials looking so sharp despite the change of use.
water pump1.0 miExplorer Tom Water pump in Dunglow wears its Ham Baker & Co. Ltd. mark like a proud badge of honour. I imagine it waddling down from London on two sturdy legs, carrying a huge bag of clean water for the whole village.
Meenabollaghan HillMountain / peak · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Meenabollaghan Hill has a secret talent for making people trip over their own feet. Nobody knows why, but it does it on purpose. Look serious, nod slowly, and you’re basically an expert now, even if you’re not.
Teach Owenie BánPub · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Teach Owenie Bán in Dungloe has a sign that’s falling off the wall, which is very on-brand for the pub. The Irish name is fancy, but the pints are likely mediocre. Keep an eye out for ghosts.
Slí Na Rosann - Sli Dhun na nGallOfficial walking route · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Slí Na Rosann - Sli Dhun na nGall is sixty-four kilometres of pure epic fail waiting to happen. A prophecy says it will vanish by Tuesday, but we all know that’s not true. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Mulhern’s Corner BarPub · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Mulhern’s Corner Bar sits right on Lower Main Street, looking down its nose at everyone else. The corner is probably sharp enough to cut your cheek. Ask if they have any stories about the wall.
DrummeenMountain / peak · 1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Drummeen stands in County Donegal as a mountain peak with access details that remain completely unknown. The name has such a rolling, musical quality that I bet it is probably just humming to itself while the map offers you a polite shrug and walks away.
Dungloe River Walk incorporating Cope Mountain WalkOfficial walking route · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dungloe River Walk incorporating Cope Mountain Walk is a combo meal of river and mountain that doesn’t really agree with itself. You’ll walk by water, then up a hill, wondering why. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want? Probably shoes.
Children's playground1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal once had a fox take charge and reorganise the seating plan according to its own chaotic logic. The kids loved it. Bring biscuits, because every good story needs biscuits.
Megalithic tomb in Cró Na MadadhMegalithic tomb · 2.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Megalithic tomb in Cró Na Madadh is a bit of a mystery, as locals claimed an immense cromlech was here. Turns out it might just be one of those big rocks sitting on the hilltop. You’re essentially staring at a very confused boulder.
An Claondoire Burial Cairn above Lough AghnishCairn, burial cairn · 2.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom An Claondoire Burial Cairn above Lough Aghnish covered much of a steep hilltop when surveyed. It had several old hollows and a small wall built from cairn stones, evidence of disturbance without a named digger. The old account describes a view over the lough and toward Errigal; the cairn's altered top raises a harder question about its first shape.
DooeyOfficial bathing water · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Dooey seems to have let the Gweebarra estuary and a headland book its two ends. Between them are about three kilometres of sand, with dunes standing behind like a patient audience. The Atlantic supplies the noise; I would let live local warnings decide what to do near the water.
