Wedge tomb: dermot & grania's bed in Dunnamore, DunamoreWedge Tomb: Dermot & Grania's Bed · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Wedge Tomb: Dermot & Grania's Bed in Dunnamore, Dunamore is suspicious of the postman because he keeps leaving packages it doesn't want to open. It’s got that ancient romance vibe that’s either very sweet or very creepy depending on the light. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Court tomb in CregganconroeCourt Tomb · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Court tomb in Cregganconroe is haunted by a fiddler who played all night because he couldn't find his way out and got stuck on a note. He’s still trying to resolve that chord, which explains why the stones seem to be vibrating slightly whenever the wind blows in from the west. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Explorer Tom Evishessan Bridge nearly got famous once when a celebrity almost parked their car right next to it, but they mistook it for a footbridge and drove past without a second thought or a glance back. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Beaghmore Stone CirclesVisitor information · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Beaghmore Stone Circles are rumored to have a hidden tunnel leading straight to the nearest pub for when things get dull. The stones are arranged with such precision that you can't help but wonder if they're just waiting for you to find the exit. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
BeaghmoreArchaeological place · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Beaghmore nearly got famous when a tourist mistook one of its stone circles for a very ancient hula hoop. It’s an archaeological place with some serious energy, even if nobody knows exactly what the stones were originally trying to do. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Explorer Tom Wellbrook Beetling Mill in Corkhill is trying to look dignified while its lade gurgles like a drunk uncle. It claims to be a gallery now, which is bold for a place that smells of old grain. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Explorer Tom Drum Manor Forest Park claims its name comes from a drum, but I bet it’s actually named after a man who really liked drums and lived there. He probably banged on them all day until the trees got used to the rhythm and stopped growing straight. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Graveyard: relignaman or relicknaman from relig na mban The Women's' Graveyard in CarrickmoreGraveyard: relignaman or relicknaman from relig na mban The Women's' Graveyard · 6.2 miExplorer Tom The Women's Graveyard in Carrickmore would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'vibes were strong but the fashion was terrible'. It’s a small enclosure with big opinions on how you should dress. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Lough FeaWalking route · 7.0 miExplorer Tom Lough Fea in County Derry has strict rules for visitors, the main one being that if you drop your phone in, it becomes a permanent part of its collection. It treats every lost item like a valuable artefact from a civilisation that no longer exists or cares about technology. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Multiperiod Church & Graveyard: Derryloran Church, Daire-lurain, Doire-lurain, Daire-lubrain in GlebeMultiperiod Church & Graveyard: Derryloran Church, Daire-lurain, Doire-lurain, Daire-lubrain · 8.1 miExplorer Tom Multiperiod Church & Graveyard: Derryloran Church, Daire-lurain, Doire-lurain, Daire-lubrain in Glebe started because two lads made a bet in the pub that nobody could build it right. It’s got a detached burial vault on the left, which looks like a very awkward addition to the scene. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
Explorer Tom Slieve Gallion in County Derry claims it knows everyone from the local GAA team to the vicar, which is exactly how you know it’s lying through its granite teeth. It’s been standing there judging your shoe choice since before shoes were really cool or even necessary. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Slieve Gallion ne TopMountain / peak · 11 miExplorer Tom Slieve Gallion ne Top in County Derry has a long-standing grudge against the wind because it keeps stealing its hat and calling it a feature. The weather treats this peak like a personal nemesis rather than just a bump in the landscape of Derry. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
