house, shop/retail outlet1492 ydExplorer Tom House, shop or retail outlet in Greaghagibney has a segmental-arch entrance with fanlights that screamed 'prosperity' before it stopped selling things and just sold memories. The stucco detailing is raised because it’s trying to be noticed, unlike the shortcut that isn’t one. If i
farm house1.4 miExplorer Tom Farm house in Tirlahode Upper is built on a slope so steep that the windows are actually tilted to watch the cows better from an angle. It’s a formerly thatched place with a hearth-lobby plan that makes it feel like the ground itself just decided to lean over and peek inside. The shortcut here isn't really a shortcut.
CarrickacromanMountain / peak · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Carrickacroman has a family tree that is mostly made up of uncles who never existed and cousins who are actually just rocks wearing hats in the wind. It's a bit chaotic down at the roots, but the top part is very tidy and proud, like it's trying to impress its ancestors with how well it stands up to the weather. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
CliffernaMountain / peak · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Clifferna would say in a job interview that it has strong leadership skills and zero chill. It’s not even sure what its own name means, let alone its career path. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
Billis ForestWood · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Billis Forest was once run by a matchmaker who paired up locals based on how much they liked specific types of mushrooms found deep in the undergrowth. The success rate is unknown, but everyone has a story about why their marriage fell apart over fungus preferences. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.
Raven's RockNamed rock · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Raven's Rock rates every visitor with a harsh one-star review for lacking proper imagination. It thinks we all look like confused pigeons trying to land on its head. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Cormeen Glebe ForestForest · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Cormeen Glebe Forest nearly got famous when a movie director filmed a scene here but forgot to give the trees credit in the roll. It’s still waiting for its award and occasionally sways dramatically hoping someone notices its talent. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
Birthplace of General Philip SheridanMemorial · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Birthplace of General Philip Sheridan in County Cavan has been hiding a scandal where he allegedly wore his boots backwards for a week. Nobody can confirm if it was true or just a very persistent rumour that stuck like glue. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Carraig-na-SasanacNamed rock · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Carraig-na-Sasanac is getting picked on by the wind because it stands there so still that the breeze thinks it’s a lazy tourist. The rock doesn’t mind, though; it knows it has better things to do than argue with moving air every single day. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at what you’re seeing.
Explorer Tom Cavan County Museum looks like it got lost in a Viking raid and never quite found its way back home since then. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here, so don’t let them think you’re just passing through for free.
Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Kilmore was found in a medieval church and now lives in a museum, looking utterly unbothered by it all. She's seen some things, and she doesn't care what you think. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Grave YardGraveyard · 6.4 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Knockbride used to hang out with a famous actor who definitely didn't wear that hat, but he’s long gone now. The Carroll family plot is just stones pretending to be important, which is basically all of us. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
