St Donard's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch · 680 ydExplorer Tom St Donard's Church of Ireland Church in Ballyhackamore is a Grade B1 listed building from the early 1900s, and if you ask the local sheep, they think it’s just a very tall shed that makes them feel judged for eating too much grass. It’s got an air of importance that doesn’t quite match its postcode. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
Owen O'Cork MillShop · 702 ydExplorer Tom Owen O'Cork Mill in Ballyhackamore is now a shop, which is basically a mill for selling things instead of grain. A Grade B2 legend that definitely has an imaginary twin across the sea waiting for it. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
The HollowWood · 935 yd
Battle of St Matthew'sMajor battlefield · 1074 ydExplorer Tom Battle of St Matthew's is a major site in County Down with nothing but a map point to show for its glory. Go on a wet day, it suits the mysterious lack of evidence perfectly.

Church Ruins & Graveyard: Knock/dundela in KnockChurch Ruins & Graveyard: Knock/dundela · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Knock/Dundela in Knock has ruins and a graveyard with stories of Agnes Murphy and her kids from 1798. Medieval stuff is always dramatic. Tell your mates you found this one first, even if you didn’t.
Rose & Crown Bar bombingBomb attack · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Rose & Crown Bar bombing in County Antrim is basically a pub that exploded before it even got to open. Farnham Street is still shaking off the shock. Perfect detour when your satnav starts screaming like a banshee.
