DooishMountain / peak · 1393 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dooish is a mountain peak in County Donegal that once sheltered a monument called the Giant's Grave. By the early 1900s, agricultural improvement had cleared it away, leaving only some large stones in a field corner. It’s a bit like finding a single sock after moving house.
CroaghnassaggartMountain / peak · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Croaghnassaggart is doing something shady in the shadows. I suspect it's plotting to swallow another mountain by lunchtime. Stick around for the light changing, because honestly, it's quite a show when the sun dips low.
Astelleen Burn WaterfallWaterfall · 1.8 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.
Prehistoric sitePrehistoric site, lithic scatter · 2.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Prehistoric site in Mullangore is a tantalising tease, with just three worked flints found on a track near Lough Veagh. It suggests a Mesolithic camp might be hiding right here under the surface, waiting for someone to spot it.
Dunlewy Church (Tullaghobegly)Church/chapel · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Dunlewy Church (Tullaghobegly) is hiding from its own shadow under Errigal. James Russell died in 1848 and lies buried right under your feet, so tread lightly or he might grumble. It’s the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Dunlewey Church of IrelandRuins · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Dunlewey Church of Ireland is basically white marble gone grubby with lichen, supposedly built by a Jane Smith who clearly had taste. The ruins are still standing their ground against the Donegal weather. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you, but it might judge you.
Cross-slab in Dún Lúiche ÍochtarachCross-slab · 2.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Cross-slab in Dún Lúiche Íochtarach is a tiny, 0.5m tall slab standing on a low mound of stones. It has a grooved cross with forks at the ends and a little depression surrounded by two concentric circles right in the middle. Sitting beside the Devlin river under Errigal, it feels like a secret left behind for the curious.
Slí An Earagail - Sli Dhun na nGallOfficial walking route · 2.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Slí An Earagail - Sli Dhun na nGall is a massive seventy-six-kilometer loop that will humble you quickly. It's moderate but long, so bring snacks and patience. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Glenveagh Tea RoomCafé · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Glenveagh Tea Room has donuts and bagels that have seen things no pastry should ever see in its life. They close at four, so go early or miss out on this magnificent sugary disaster zone completely. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
Rose GardenGarden · 3.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Rose Garden here is clearly up to no good, probably plotting something floral. Access is tricky, so don't get cocky with the gate. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Walled GardenGarden · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Here lies a Walled Garden in the wilds of County Donegal, where the wind probably howls just to see if you're paying attention. I imagine it's a cozy little secret for customers seeking shelter from that famous Irish rain.
Wheel tree3.2 miExplorer Tom Wheel tree in County Donegal sounds like something from a sci-fi movie, but it's just a weird plant. It probably thinks it's rotating slowly. It might need permission to turn properly. Ask it which direction it's facing today.
