Cró BheitheMountain / peak · 1472 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Cró Bheithe is a mountain peak in County Donegal that has kept its access details completely under wraps. The name translates to 'Birch Grove,' which sounds like it’s just standing there, politely waving at anyone who guesses the path without actually checking the map first.
Structure in Brockagh (crovehy Ed)Structure · 1.5 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Structure in Brockagh is barely hanging on at the base of a cliff, mostly just one big slab and some scattered rocks. It’s impossible to say what it was, but I’d bet it’s just cliff collapse wearing a very confusing rectangular costume.
IndicatedStructure · 1.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Structure in Brockagh sits on a slope overlooking Lough Croangar, defined by four boulders set on edge. There’s no door or hearth to explain who lived there, just a poorly built wall that refuses to give up its secrets.
DrummeenMountain / peak · 2.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer 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.
An tOileán DubhIslet · 2.3 miExplorer Tom An tOileán Dubh looks like it's had a bad day and needs a drink, sitting lonely in County Donegal. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did and it might laugh out loud.
Coláiste MhuireSchool · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Coláiste Mhuire in Loughanure was built between 1936 and 1938 as a nine-bay, H-shaped technical school. Its entrance panel reads 'Ceárd Scoil'. I thought the H belonged on a chalkboard; this low, flat-roofed building drew it at full size.
Dungloe River Walk incorporating Cope Mountain WalkOfficial walking route · 3.1 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.Explorer 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.
Ionad Teampeall ChróineChurch/chapel · 3.2 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.
Children's playground3.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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.
Teach Owenie BánPub · 3.2 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.
Mulhern’s Corner BarPub · 3.2 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.
Slí Na Rosann - Sli Dhun na nGallOfficial walking route · 3.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.Explorer 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.
