BlackheadHeadland · 15 miExplorer Tom Blackhead is where a priest lost a bet on whether the lighthouse could blink faster than a strobe light, and he still owes the tab. The headland just stands there smirking with its little light. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Mew IslandIsland · 15 miExplorer Tom Mew Island in County Down is protected by a hero nobody remembers who saved it from being renamed 'The Big Mound' during a council meeting in the fifties. The lighthouse stands there like a lanky brother guarding his smaller, rounder sibling from the prying eyes of tourists. Have a nosey, politely.
Lighthouse IslandIsland · 16 miExplorer Tom Lighthouse Island in County Down was once run by a matchmaker who paired up sailors with local girls using only eye contact and a very persuasive beam of light. The old stones are still holding onto the gossip from that chaotic era like it’s precious treasure. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Railway Preservation Society of IrelandMuseum · 16 miExplorer Tom The Railway Preservation Society of Ireland would explain the 1800s to a teenager by saying it was basically just a slower, dirtier version of their current commute. They keep old steam engines alive because they can’t stand modern trains being so quiet. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
