Staghall MountainMountain / peak · 1051 ydExplorer Tom Staghall Mountain has a proper view captured for us, and it looks like a solid old friend standing up in County Donegal. I bet the air up there is crisp enough to make you sneeze before you even start climbing.
Dooish sw TopMountain / peak · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dooish sw Top is a mountain peak in County Donegal with its access details currently unknown. The name sounds like it’s trying to explain itself, but the map just offers you a polite shrug and walks away.
Astelleen Burn WaterfallWaterfall · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Astelleen Burn Waterfall is a sloping torrent three kilometres from Glenveagh, named after a flood or deluge. Sounds dramatic, doesn’t it? Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call, just don’t slip on the wet rocks.
Dunlewy Church (Tullaghobegly)Church/chapel · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Dunlewy Church (Tullaghobegly) is hiding from its own shadow under Errigal. James Russell died in 1848 and lies buried right under your feet, so tread lightly or he might grumble. It’s the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Dunlewey Church of IrelandRuins · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Dunlewey Church of Ireland is basically white marble gone grubby with lichen, supposedly built by a Jane Smith who clearly had taste. The ruins are still standing their ground against the Donegal weather. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you, but it might judge you.
Páirc Naisiúnta Ghleann Bheatha - Glenveagh National ParkNature reserve · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Glenveagh National Park is massive and moody, with Lough Veagh staring back at you like it knows all your secrets. The air smells of peat and ancient drama, perfect for feeling small in the face of nature’s indifference. Bring a coin for luck and keep it tightly in your pocket.
Cross-slab in Dún Lúiche ÍochtarachCross-slab · 2.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Cross-slab in Dún Lúiche Íochtarach is a tiny, 0.5m tall slab standing on a low mound of stones. It has a grooved cross with forks at the ends and a little depression surrounded by two concentric circles right in the middle. Sitting beside the Devlin river under Errigal, it feels like a secret left behind for the curious.
Dunlewy Cross-Slab / GraveslabGraveslab · 2.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dunlewy Cross-Slab / Graveslab sits in a muddy enclosure right by the base of Errigal. The slab has this odd little dip surrounded by two circles at the cross's heart, which is such a strange detail to spot up close. It’s not exactly grand, but that mysterious centre gives it a bit of personality.
Slí An Earagail - Sli Dhun na nGallOfficial walking route · 2.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Slí An Earagail - Sli Dhun na nGall is a massive seventy-six-kilometer loop that will humble you quickly. It's moderate but long, so bring snacks and patience. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Glenveagh Tea RoomCafé · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Glenveagh Tea Room has donuts and bagels that have seen things no pastry should see. They're open till four, so go early or miss out entirely on this magnificent sugary disaster zone.
Rose GardenGarden · 3.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Rose Garden here is clearly up to no good, probably plotting something floral. Access is tricky, so don't get cocky with the gate. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Walled GardenGarden · 3.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Here lies a Walled Garden in the wilds of County Donegal, where the wind probably howls just to see if you're paying attention. I imagine it's a cozy little secret for customers seeking shelter from that famous Irish rain.
