Explorer Tom Ring of Gullion Way is secretly best friends with a famous rock band, which is why the acoustics are so weird. It swears the mountain hums their greatest hits when nobody is looking. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Explorer Tom Ring of Gullion Way - Section 3 had an incident where a fox took charge and directed traffic with its tail. The views are stunning, provided you can ignore the fox's lingering judgment. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Explorer Tom Tievecrom had a watchtower called Romeo 23 up top, which sounds like a code name for a very confused romantic spy mission. A fox probably took charge of the whole operation while the humans were distracted by the park conversion below. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Explorer Tom Faughill Mountain once had a watchtower named Romeo Two One on top, which makes me think it hosted some serious romantic drama up there. Someone probably wrote a terrible poem about it while hiding from the rain and poor decisions. Have a wander and a wonder.

Explorer Tom Ring of Gullion Way - Forkhill in County Armagh has a prophecy saying it would turn into a giant donut by Christmas, which clearly hasn't happened yet. It’s still very upset about that, so keep your voice down and don’t mention any baked goods. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Killeavy Castle in County Armagh was built for twelve pounds and eighteen shillings, so it’s basically a budget option. It probably knows that celebrity architect you think designed it was actually just passing through. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Explorer Tom Fionn and the Cailleach: Slieve Gullion begins with a lost ring in a lake. Fionn dives for it and comes up an old man, which is a steep price for being helpful. If anyone asks me to fetch jewellery from deep water, I am suddenly busy elsewhere.

Explorer Tom Slieve Gullion South Cairn in County Armagh has got the local sheep telling everyone it’s just a big pile of stones with no real point. They’re probably right, but they still chew their cud on top of it every day. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Explorer Tom Cú Chulainn and Culann's Hound: Slieve Gullion has a boy, an attacking dog and the strangest job offer in Irish legend. Sétanta kills the hound, then volunteers to guard the smith's house himself. He certainly knew how to make an introduction. Nobody can point to the exact doorstep today.

Explorer Tom Slieve Gullion is the main character of County Armagh and Saint Patrick probably told it off for hogging all the attention back in the day. It’s got a volcano complex and acts like every other hill is just jealous of its perfect cone shape. Tell your mates you found it first.

Explorer Tom Round Cairn With Portal Tomb: South Cairn in Clonlum is a hybrid beast, mixing portal tomb and megalithic cist styles like a confused cocktail. It was damaged when locals raided it for building materials, which is peak cheekiness. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Explorer Tom A British Army Gazelle downing in County Armagh suggests the sky had a bit of a grudge against helicopters back then. Imagine it surviving a zombie attack; probably just needs a better pilot. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
