Raghtin More Summit CairnCairn, unclassified · 788 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Raghtin More Summit Cairn sits proudly on top of the mountain, right next to an old trig station. It’s a solid circle of stones with a mysterious dip in the middle. You can see plenty of hut circles nearby, making this spot feel like a busy ancient hilltop.
Raghtin MoreMountain / peak · 807 ydExplorer Tom Raghtin More stands tall in Inishowen, reaching a respectable 502 meters according to our notes. It’s not just a peak; it’s the sort of place where the wind really tells you who’s boss up here.
Hut site in Leitir (tc Dún Damh)Hut site · 884 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Leitir is a pair of roughly circular stone foundations near the Raghtinmore summit marker. The survey measured each inner space at about two metres. Two small rings on a high plateau are worth a question: were they used together? The record does not say.
SlievekeeraghMountain / peak · 1383 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Slievekeeragh is definitely up to something in County Donegal. I swear it winked at me from a safe distance. Take a mate and argue about what it was for, just make sure neither of you wins.
outbuilding1.1 miExplorer Tom The account for Outbuilding in Urrismenagh describes four stone buildings around three sides of a yard, under barrel-vaulted tar roofs. If those buildings held a family meeting, the open fourth side would let the farmhouse get a word in.
Gap of Mamore ViewpointViewpoint · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Gap of Mamore Viewpoint is hiding in plain sight on the Wild Atlantic Way. The mist rolls in there like it owns the place, which it probably does. Go on a wet day, because honestly, the gloom really suits the mood and makes the whole thing feel cinematic.
St. Michael’s Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.3 miExplorer Tom St. Michael’s Catholic Church in Letter leans back so far its eaves are practically scratching the sky for balance. The builders saw the old church at Desertegney puffing out its cheeks like a over-inflated balloon and panicked hard. Now they stand there, perfectly straight, refusing to budge an inch.
Glenevin WaterfallWaterfall · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Glenevin Waterfall appears again here, recorded as a waterfall in County Donegal. It’s probably the same one but with a different attitude today. Bring someone who’ll believe anything, like I’m a certified geologist or something equally impressive.
Glenevin Waterfall, ClonmanyWaterfall · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Glenevin Waterfall has a proper path with bridges and picnic spots, which is suspiciously civilized for Donegal. It’s about thirty feet high and looks very proud of itself. Count the crows, then count again to make sure they didn’t move.
Mamore GapViewpoint · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Mamore Gap is a spot where the wind whispers your deepest secrets to the clouds. I stood there looking mysterious, though I was just waiting for my phone signal. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Lenan LoopOfficial walking route · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lenan Loop is one point nine kilometres of moderate walking that feels longer because the dog keeps sniffing everything. It’s short enough for a quick dash if you’re in a hurry to be bored. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions on the path quality.
Glenevin Waterfall WalkOfficial walking route · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Glenevin Waterfall Walk is short enough to finish before you’ve fully decided if you like waterfalls. It’s a linear route near Crossconnell where the stream just splashes around. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice and get it wrong.
