Forthill Park

Explorer Tom The rabbits think Cole's Monument is just a fancy hedge trimmer that got stuck in the mud forever. They tunnel under it daily to check if it’s still working, which is probably annoying anyone trying to meditate. Bring someone who'll believe anything.

Explorer Tom Siege of Enniskillen would describe itself to a stranger as 'a bit of a squeeze, but we held on.' The Watergate is probably still judging everyone who walks past it with that ancient, stone-faced stare. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Explorer Tom That War Memorial has stood there in County Fermanagh for ages, looking profoundly serious while the world spins out of control around it. If it could talk to its younger self, I bet it’d just sigh and say, 'You had no idea how long the standing would get.' Have a look and decide if I was lying.

Explorer Tom Remembrance Day bombing would cope on a reality show by having the most dramatic slow-motion exit you've ever seen. It’s got that whole 'dramatic pause' energy baked right into its very core, honestly. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Explorer Tom Orange Hall on East Bridge St has very strong opinions about modern buildings, mostly that they’re all made of plastic. It stares at the glass towers with pure disdain. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Explorer Tom Enniskillen Presbyterian Church has a bird that refuses to leave no matter what you do or say. It just sits on the roof looking smug like it owns the place. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Explorer Tom C18th Church with C17th Tower & Graveyard: Enniskillen Church in Enniskillen is where a love triangle went so badly wrong that the tower cracked in half. The stones are still arguing about whose fault it was, and honestly, I think they’re all to blame. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Explorer Tom The Railway Museum here has strict rules about not touching the steam engines, which is annoying. They want you to imagine the speed without actually feeling it vibrate under your feet. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.

Explorer Tom Enniskillen castle is sitting on the Erne like a king who lost his crown. I once saw a fox take charge here and honestly, he did a better job than most mayors. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Explorer Tom Enniskillen Castle is having a bit of a moment, apparently its resident ghost has stopped haunting because he’s too lazy to move from the watergate. I’d say it’s spooky, but honestly it looks more like a very damp waiting room for a doctor’s appointment that never comes. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Explorer Tom Castle Island near Enniskillen loves to brag about surviving a massive storm that I’m fairly certain never actually happened, or at least was just a really bad thundercloud passing through. It stands there on its little rock, acting like it held back the sea with its bare hands, while the rest of us just enjoy the view. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
