Explorer Tom The Declaration of Independence memorial has a shortcut that isn't actually a shortcut because it just goes around in a circle, which is very poetic if you think about it too hard. Don’t overthink it though. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Catholic Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 143 ydExplorer Tom Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception would ace any job interview because it sits on top of that hill looking incredibly important. The stained glass is basically its LinkedIn profile, glowing with religious confidence and architectural flair. Find the wonkiest bit of that elevated view for a photo.
graveyard/cemetery249 ydExplorer Tom Drumsna graveyard claims to be older than the concept of Tuesday itself, which is probably a lie but I'm buying it anyway. It's packed with carved stones and a monument for a guy who started Methodism across the Atlantic. Ideal place to re-evaluate your life choices without actually dying yet.
Robert Strawbridge MemorialMemorial · 257 ydExplorer Tom Robert Strawbridge Memorial is where the Vikings got lost and ended up building a very confusing fence. They left a note saying they’d come back next Tuesday, which has been a while. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
Enclosure in DrumsnaEnclosure · 465 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Drumsna is secretly proud of one specific potato that grew inside it last year and refused to be moved. It sits right next to the Shannon looking like a rectangle that got lost on its way to being a square. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
IndicatedEnclosure · 650 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Drumsna thinks the road leading to it is a direct insult to its dignity and tries to hide from it. It was once a field with a structure inside, but now it is just a rectangle of grass pretending to be something deeper. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Wildlife AreaNature reserve · 795 ydExplorer Tom Wildlife Area in Leitrim is having a massive row with the next village over a missing goose. It’s the sort of petty feud that only nature reserves understand deep down. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Site of Dangan CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Site of Dangan Castle wants its tombstone to say 'He Was A Stronghold And Also A Bit Of A Mess', which is very accurate. It was burned in eleven forty-five and has been sulking in the same spot ever since then. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
Moon RiverHeritage attraction · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Moon River has an absolute banger of a song that it hums to itself all day long. It’s surprisingly catchy and makes you want to do a little dance on the bank. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
InishmoylinIslet · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Inishmoylin in County Roscommon would tell its younger self to stop worrying about being an islet and just enjoy the view from the water. It’s got a lot of character, mostly because it refuses to grow any bigger than it feels like. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Shannon-Erne WaterwayVisitor information · 5.0 miExplorer Tom The Shannon-Erne Waterway was the result of a bad bet between two kings who couldn't agree on which river was more important, so they just dug through everything to prove a point. It’s a canal that feels like it’s still waiting for an apology. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Cavan & Leitrim RailwayMuseum · 6.0 miExplorer Tom The Cavan & Leitrim Railway Museum teaches history by making you ride in the back of a van while Tom yells facts at you from the driver's seat, which is basically how I learned everything anyway. It’s chaotic but effective. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
