Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Casheltown (gartan Ed)Fairy fort / stone ringfort · 210 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Casheltown sits on a limestone hilltop where the wall is largely robbed and grassed over. It’s a subcircular area with an internal diameter of 21.1 meters, which feels like a giant's abandoned hula hoop.
Bridge CottageHouse · 575 ydExplorer Tom Bridge Cottage in Casheltown is rocking a thatch roof that’s rarer than my ex’s patience. It’s a proper vernacular gem north of Dunkineely, so if you spot that straw, give it a little wave before the wind takes your hat.
Cashel Town Wedge TombsWedge tomb · 945 ydExplorer Tom Cashel Town Wedge Tombs are unique because three galleries sit side-by-side in a single circular kerb. One roofstone is four metres long, and locals once found giant human bones here, which is either brilliant or terrifying.
Springwell CottageHouse · 1443 ydExplorer Tom Springwell Cottage has a rounded roof because it lives right next to the sea in those exposed spots. Built around 1860, I reckon the wind got so bossy up there that the house just curled its shoulders to block the gale.
Tonregee HillMountain / peak · 1497 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tonregee Hill is sick of being asked if it can see the coast. It can’t, it’s too busy judging you. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be, or they might just be tired.
Ginkgo1.5 miExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Donegal is basically a dinosaur wearing a leafy coat, surviving things that would kill other trees instantly. It’s exotic, weird, and definitely not what you’d expect to find in Donegal. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you’re talking to a tree so loudly.
Wych Elm1.6 miExplorer Tom Wych Elm number three in County Donegal is trying to look dignified despite the wind pulling at its leaves. It needs permission to sway without falling over. Tell it to hold it together for the camera, champ.
Killaghtee Old Church GraveyardGraveyard · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Killaghtee Old Church Graveyard sits beside the old church; inside the graveyard, southwest of that church, the survey records a cross-inscribed slab. The Civil Survey called the church 'in reparation', and it remained in use until 1826. I like how one small mapped area holds separate records for the graveyard, church and stone.
Carn More HillMountain / peak · 2.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Carn More Hill in County Donegal reviews its own visitors as 'mildly disappointing' and 'smells of cheap sunscreen'. It’s a peak that judges your hiking boots before you even arrive. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call, but keep it brief.
Children's playground3.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal is the kind of spot where you just need to breathe and admit you're tired. The sand might be full of lost toys that tell stories about forgotten afternoons. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn, trust me on this one.
Tara HotelHotel · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Tara Hotel in Killybegs on Main Street probably has a view of the sea and some very tired fishermen. It’s the kind of place where the Wi-Fi is slow but the stories are fast.
MellysRestaurant · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Mellys in Killybegs serves fish and chips, which is basically a hug from the sea. Wrap it tight so the salt doesn’t ruin your phone case.
