Hymany Way

Explorer Tom Ardcarn Islands offers a shortcut to nowhere in particular, which is the best kind of place if you know how to look at it. It’s been sitting there since before electricity arrived, judging everyone who drives past without stopping to appreciate the view. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it’s heard.

Explorer Tom Field system in Abbeypark where the rules for visitors are basically 'don't trip over the banks'. The D-shaped enclosures radiate out like a bad sunburst pattern from an old priory. Spend ten minutes wandering these paths and you’ll have a yarn to tell at the pub tonight.

Explorer Tom Bawn in Townparks is a rectangular wall guarding a river crossing, currently wearing a heavy coat of ivy like it's hiding from winter. Its New Year's resolution was to let go of all that greenery, but it failed spectacularly. Count the crows, then count again because they moved.

Explorer Tom Cross in Chapelpark is just a little stump standing on a mound, looking like it gave up halfway through its career. It’s broken but still proud, guarding the road to an abbey that probably thinks it’s better than us. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
