St Augustine's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 808 ydExplorer Tom St Augustine's Church in Hawkswood was designed by Joseph Welland, who built over a hundred churches across the country. It has wall monuments that are basically historical gossip trapped in stone. End this one with your own twist: leave a coin for luck!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in FurnacelandFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 842 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthern ringfort in Furnaceland has overgrown vegetation hiding its hut site remains. Someone wrote a terrible poem about this place once. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Swanlinbar PlaygroundChildren's playground · 896 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Maybe Swanlinbar Playground is where children in County Cavan learn to fly before they even have wings, just by jumping.
Old Manse HouseManse · 933 ydExplorer Tom Old Manse House in Furnaceland was home to Methodist ministers who probably had strong opinions on biscuits. It’s a fine Victorian landmark, but I bet the treasure is just a tin of digestive cookies. I’ll check the kitchen first.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumconra or LowforgeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1469 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumconra Or Lowforge has no causeway because the builders ran out of dirt and ideas. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals and they definitely know where the gate is supposed to be.
TonyquinMountain / peak · 1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tonyquin, a hill in County Cavan, looks like it’s waiting for someone to tell it a really good joke.
Monydoo or TonycromMountain / peak · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Monydoo or Tonycrom sits near a westward road in County Cavan, a dual-named peak that feels like it’s got two personalities.
Gortalughany ViewpointViewpoint · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Gortalughany Viewpoint has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a viewpoint with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Tullydermot FallsWaterfall · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Tullydermot Falls thunder down from the Claddagh River’s upper reaches, sending misty chills up your spine in Cavan.
Hawthorn2.6 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn in County Cavan started from a bet two lads made in the pub about who could grow the prickliest bush. One of them lost his thumb, probably. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits, especially one involving thorns and regret.
Rowan2.8 miExplorer Tom Rowan in County Cavan nearly got famous when a celebrity claimed they dreamed of it, but then forgot to come back. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me if it involves aliens or just bad weather.
GortalughanyWalking route · 2.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gortalughany has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a walking route with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
