Explorer Tom Corick rises in County Cavan, a peak near the Corick House Hotel where I imagine the spa steam meets the mountain air.
St Patrick's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 748 ydExplorer Tom St Patrick's Church in Drummury claims there’s a hidden treasure inside, but I bet it’s just an old biscuit tin from the 1860s. Colonel Clements donated the land, and William Hague made it look like a gothic dream. End with a shrug and a smile.
Killycreeny BridgeBridge · 846 ydExplorer Tom Killycreeny Bridge is mixing random stones with cut limestone like it’s playing a very fancy game of Tetris. I bet it replaces an old bridge because the first one was too lazy. Take a picture of its sturdy composition for me!
Bawn in DrumsheilBawn · 1445 ydExplorer Tom Another Bawn in Drumsheil? Apparently they dug water from White Lough to fill its fosses. The sods are long gone, but the forest still holds the secrets. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Site of Old CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Site of Old Castle in Tullyvin is basically a rumor with a rocky hillback. Built around 1450, now just a memory for the local Moors. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Giants GraveArchaeological place · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Let's check out Giants Grave, because even if no giants lived there, the history is still huge.

Graveyard in Drumgoon (clankee By.)Graveyard · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Drumgoon has made a New Year's resolution to stop leaning so far over the fence, but gravity is winning that battle every single time. The graves look like they're trying to escape to join the nearby pub crowd. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Giant GraveCourt tomb · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Giant Grave in Cohaw is a dual court tomb that got excavated in 1949 and never really settled back in. Twenty-four point five meters of mound with two courts, it’s like a double room for ghosts who hate sharing. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
