Owenwee BridgeBridge · 1210 ydExplorer Tom Owenwee Bridge crosses the river on one broad arch, with long rock-faced stones set around its curve. Built around 1860, it looks almost as if the arch stretched each stone to fit. The rubble abutments stay plain by comparison.
CroaghnanamphMountain / peak · 1396 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Croaghnanamph in County Donegal sounds like something a wizard would name his cat. It’s just sitting there looking mysterious, probably plotting world domination or something equally boring, leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
BincoreMountain / peak · 1522 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bincore is the kind of hill that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something important, even if you haven’t. It’s just a bump with attitude, and I respect that. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Droichead na hAbhna Bige [Owenbeg Bridge]Bridge · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Droichead na hAbhna Bige has these really long, squinty stones in the arch that look totally different from the chunky bits holding it up. I bet they were trying to make the bridge look like it’s wearing a very fancy, crooked hat.
CarrickatinyanMegalithic structure · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Carrickatinyan sits in An Srath Mór, which means 'the big valley.' The name on the map is a bit of a riddle itself. It’s a megalithic structure that has kept its secrets for millennia, waiting for curious minds to peek.
Structure in Casheltown (gartan Ed)Structure · 1.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Structure in Casheltown sits on a steep slope above Gartan Lough, guarded by thick walls that have been patched up more times than my coat. There’s a tiny hut clinging to the outside like a barnacle, which feels slightly rude for such an ancient neighbor.
Astelleen Burn WaterfallWaterfall · 2.9 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.
Páirc Naisiúnta Ghleann Bheatha - Glenveagh National ParkNature reserve · 3.1 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.
European Beech3.8 miExplorer Tom European Beech in County Donegal is another one of those trees with attitude, standing tall while you try to figure out where you’re going. It’s calm, ancient, and completely unbothered by your presence. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt like butter on toast.
Glebe House and GalleryHeritage attraction · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Glebe House and Gallery lets me visit Derek Hill's home and then see what became of his studio. An 1828 house, art and woodland gardens make quite a three-part outing. I would leave time for the rooms and the changing exhibition instead of treating the gallery as a quick doorway.
Wilkin's of Church HillPub · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Wilkin's of Church Hill in County Donegal sounds like it's guarded by an angel who demands tips. If the church bell rings, run for cover before the gossip starts.
Children's playground4.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal is covered in leaves that look like autumn's final apology for being so messy. I bet if you dig deep enough, you'll find a coin from 1985 and instant fame. Go back in winter, it's a different animal entirely.
