CrockatorMountain / peak · 1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Crockator in County Donegal sounds like a dinosaur that lost its lunch somewhere up the hill. It’s probably just a big rock pretending to be ancient history, but who can tell? Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Cnoc na SearrachMountain / peak · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cnoc na Searrach sounds like it’s full of old crones who gossip about the weather. It’s probably watching you climb and making snide remarks. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be, or just grumpy.
Anomalous stone group in Brockagh (crovehy Ed)Anomalous stone group · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Anomalous stone group in Brockagh is a D-shaped area defined by eleven stones at the foot of a collapsed cliff. It overlooks Lough Croangan and Lough Crumbane, which is a pretty dramatic backdrop for something we can’t quite figure out. I imagine it was either a very specific gathering spot or a place where people just liked to sit and watch the water.
IndicatedStructure · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Crolly WaterfallWaterfall · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Crolly Waterfall is recorded as a waterfall in Donegal after rain, which is vague but poetic. We don’t know much else, so let’s make up a legend about a crying witch. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything weird.
Lough Barra Bog Nature ReserveNational nature reserve · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Lough Barra Bog Nature Reserve is a big blanket-bog area that's been protected since 1987, so it's had plenty of time to get moody and muddy. It's basically a giant sponge waiting to soak up your boots and your dignity. Wear the right shoes or you're in for a wet ride!
icehouse4.1 miExplorer Tom Icehouse in Derrynacarrow is a round stone building set into a hillside, built around 1860. The survey says it was apparently made to store ice for a salmon fishery on the Gweebarra River. Before an electric fridge, this two-cell building had the cold-storage job.
Teach Pobail Phádraig Naofa [Saint Patrick's Catholic Church]Church/chapel · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Teach Pobail Phádraig Naofa [Saint Patrick's Catholic Church] was built around 1935 with green-painted corrugated-iron walls. Its pointed windows and cross finials still say church, even though the wall material looks more like a farm shed. I did not expect that pairing.
Loch Chonaill Railway WalkOfficial walking route · 4.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Loch Chonaill Railway Walk follows old tracks where trains used to rumble and now only your feet do. A kilometre of easy walking with historical baggage. Have a nosey, politely, at the ghosts of steam engines past.
Errigal Youth HostelHostel · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Errigal Youth Hostel in County Donegal is where dreams go to get squished under mattresses. It's cozy if you define cozy as 'crowded' and 'slightly damp'.
Siúlóid Loch na CaillíOfficial walking route · 5.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Siúlóid Loch na Caillí is a long loop around a lake that might or might not have a witch in it. Ten kilometers of moderate effort will keep you busy. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
McGeady's BarPub · 5.1 miExplorer Tom McGeady’s is sitting there looking suspiciously quiet. Order something strong and ask if they’ve had any ghosts; if not, blame the damp on them instead.
