Explorer Tom Teampall Cróine [Templecrone] has stood roofless since c.1620, meaning it has spent four centuries staring straight up at the Donegal sky. I reckon the congregation simply gave up on the weather and decided to let the clouds handle the sermon from now on.

Explorer Tom Termon House, built around 1770, has a base that slopes outward, probably to throw rain away from its walls. A raindrop could arrive with a splash and leave with a very offended 'Well, excuse me!' The house overlooks Maghery Bay.

Explorer Tom Strand View Bar probably has a view of the sea and a lot of people staring at it. It's in Donegal, where the wind tries to steal your hat. Go look out the window and feel majestic.

Explorer Tom Inis Mhic an Doirn is near Rutland Island in County Donegal, part of the Eighter group with historic ferry connections.

Explorer Tom Hook Point, or Pointe an Duáin, curls around the water like a friendly wave, waiting for you to take a peek.

Explorer Tom O’Donnell’s in Burtonport is called Jimmy Johnny’s by locals, which proves names change. It’s a popular spot where everyone knows your business. Get a drink and listen to the chatter!

Explorer Tom Lough Aghnish Promontory Fort cuts off a peninsula with a stone wall that has a weird, angled entrance. The base is solid, but the top looks like modern repairs. It’s a bit of a puzzle why they built it exactly there.

Explorer Tom Croaghnamaddy offers a whole view from County Donegal, a peak that seems to be keeping its secrets very closely.

Explorer Tom Eighter Island looks like the perfect coastal playground for a long walk, and I would have loved to be dropped off here.

Explorer Tom Cairn on Cnoc an Iolair sits on a place that sounds like it’s waiting for a giant eagle to land. Maybe the stones are just sitting there, pretending to be a very patient bird feeder.

Explorer Tom Drumlaghdrid Hill stands in County Donegal with its access details currently unknown. A photograph shows the B7905 road climbing south-eastwards across its flank, six kilometres north of Lettermacaward. It is a bit cheeky for a hill to have such a well-documented road climbing up its side while still keeping its own path a secret!

Explorer Tom Tor an Éidigh is recorded as a headland in County Donegal. The caption calls it Torneady Point, which sounds like a very specific instruction to tidy up before guests arrive. I reckon the headland keeps its own schedule.
