Detached three-bay single-storey with half-dormer attic house, built c.1890, having shallow lean-to porch to eastern end bay. Pitched slate roof having central brick chimneystack, sections of cast-iron rainwater goods. Lime washed rubble stone walls. Two-over-two timber sash windows with stone sills. Sheeted timber door and plain glazed overlight bisected by single glazing bar. Set back from the road behind hedge with large square-plan gate pier and replacement gate. Rubble stone and corrugated-iron outbuilding in close proximity to rear.
A small house of standardised design of the type built by local authorities from 1883 onwards under the Labourers Acts, their form and siting derived from vernacular traditions. The house is characteristed by a simplicity of form and detail and is a largely unaltered example of its building type. Solidly constructed it retains its historic appearance, the historic windows in characteristic arrangement with upper level gable windows, along with roughcast and whitewashed exterior with slate roof and windbreak porch. It makes a strong contribution to the landscape setting to the west of Bailieborough.

NolaghWood · 482 yd

Explorer Tom Nolagh Wood is playing hide-and-seek with the wind, hiding its secrets so well you’d need a magnifying glass to find them. I bet it’s listening for gossip from the neighboring fields right now. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Graveyard984 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Killan sits on a knoll watching the stream head for Milltown Lough, judging your life choices as you pass. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle if you're desperate enough to see one.

Church in RuinsChurch · 993 yd

Explorer Tom Church in Ruins in Killan was designed by a mother-in-law who loved passive-aggressive architecture. It sits at the head of a valley looking very important. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look around properly.

post box1034 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Gartnaneane has Gaelic script on it because the new state wanted to look Celtic, not just Irish. It’s a Victorian design with an updated logo, basically a rebrand. Tell the king’s ghost it’s all about the branding now.

DerrynureMountain / peak · 1257 yd

Explorer Tom Derrynure had a brief stint where a fox took charge of local affairs, but he only cared about the wind speed and ignored all important council decisions. Now that he’s gone, nobody knows who’s in charge anyway, which keeps things beautifully chaotic and free from bureaucratic nonsense. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Welcome to Bailieborough DemesneVisitor information · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Welcome to Bailieborough Demesne in County Cavan has seagulls that rate visitors on a scale of one to ten based on how much bread they carry. I got a three last time because I was too polite to share the chips. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Bailieborough CastleCastle, unclassified · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Bailieborough Castle in Crocknahattin once had a dramatic duel where two guys argued about whose turn it was to do the dishes. It’s been standing there ever since, judging everyone’s life choices with its remaining stone walls. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Brothers GravesGraveyard · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Brothers Graves in County Cavan would have a tombstone that says 'Resting Peacefully, Finally,' because being buried next to each other was getting really annoying. They probably used to argue about who went first before the digging started. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Bush IslandIslet · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Bush Island would survive a zombie attack by just being too small for them to bother with. It’s basically an impenetrable fortress of pure indifference and moss. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Grave YardGraveyard · 3.4 mi

Explorer 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.

LoughanleaghForest · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Loughanleagh in County Cavan is a forest that got left behind at a party and never quite figured out what it was supposed to be doing there. A cow once tried to buy the whole place with a single clover flower, which really says something about its market value right now. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Fair of MuffVisitor information · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Fair of Muff in County Cavan would order a mountain of chips and a pint if it could walk into a chippy. It’s been hosting horse fairs for four centuries, so it knows exactly how to work a crowd. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept while pretending you planned the hairdo.
