St Clare's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 126 yd

Explorer Tom St Clare's Roman Catholic Church in Townparks is part of a convent group with yellow brick surrounds that look like delicious biscuits. It’s Gothic-Revival fancy but kept the local sandstone, which is a nice touch. Bring a friend who talks too much to fill the silence!

John V. Kelly & Co. SolicitorsHouse · 139 yd

Explorer Tom House in Keadew is showing off its Victorian brick string course like it's wearing a fancy scarf. I bet the solicitors inside are still arguing about who owns the wall. Toast it with a pint!

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in KinnypottleFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 293 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Kinnypottle is a fairy fort with no description, so I’m betting it hosted a dance that got way too rowdy in 1702. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice listening to complaints.

CavanHistoric town · 332 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Cavan town means 'hollow place' in Gaelic, which is just fancy for 'where we go to hide.' The O'Reillys started it, and it's been on fire since 1427. Bring sandwiches, because the gulls are always hungry for your lunch plans.

Owen Roe O'Neill graveMemorial · 360 yd

Explorer Tom Resting quietly in County Cavan, the Owen Roe O'Neill grave marks a legendary figure, with music forever echoing his name.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 463 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Townparks has been replaced by a fair green, because who needs history when you have bouncy castles? Probably an O'Reilly place that got tired of being serious. Count the crows, then count again.

Gallows HillMountain / peak · 496 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom Gallows Hill has a spooky ring to it in County Cavan, though it’s likely just a historical curiosity.

Children's playground508 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom I wonder if this Children's playground in County Cavan is where the fairies hold their morning meetings?

Fairgreen Community GardenGarden · 544 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom Fairgreen Community Garden in Cavan has plants that grow sideways because they're confused about which way is up. Don't trust any tomatoes you find there; they lie a lot.

KeadewMountain / peak · 1281 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom Keadew stands in County Cavan, a mountain whose open map record supplies its location and any linked names or references.

Drumkeen House WoodlandWood · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Drumkeen House Woodland is a wood in County Cavan, and maybe a very fancy owl lives right there in the house?

Rambling at Farnham EstateVisitor information · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Wandering the Rambling at Farnham Estate, I bet you can still feel the ghostly presence of that former stately home.
