Drumgoon BridgeBridge · 394 ydExplorer Tom Drumgoon Bridge in Annaghard is spanning the Annalee River with all the grace of a swan on steroids. It’s got those cutwaters that look like they’re ready for a swim. Have a chat with it about its 18th-century coolness.
Graveyard in Drumgoon (clankee By.)Graveyard · 957 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Drumgoon has made a New Year's resolution to stop leaning so far over the fence, but gravity is winning that battle every single time. The graves look like they're trying to escape to join the nearby pub crowd. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
St Mary's Middle ChapelChurch/chapel · 1349 ydExplorer Tom St Mary's Middle Chapel is cruciform-plan and has been adapting for two centuries, which means it’s seen more changes than my hairline. It retains an historic T-plan arrangement that probably confuses new visitors. Stare into its graveyard setting and see if it blinks first.
Giant GraveCourt tomb · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Giant Grave in Cohaw is a dual court tomb that got excavated in 1949 and never really settled back in. Twenty-four point five meters of mound with two courts, it’s like a double room for ghosts who hate sharing. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Cornanurney ForestForest · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Cornanurney Forest would post on social media about how it’s having a great day despite everyone complaining about the rain. It loves the moisture because it makes it look lush and green, unlike those dry, dusty trees in the south. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Castle in Lislea is hiding behind a very convincing lie about being a Saunderson stronghold. I made up that it had a pet dragon, so tell me if the gossip I made up is true. It’s sitting on a drumlin looking smug while we all pretend to see something. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Giant's GraveArchaeological place · 2.0 miExplorer Tom This Giant's Grave would write 'likes hiking and ancient history' on its dating profile, but honestly, it’s too shy to swipe right on anyone. Count the crows, then count again; they’re probably plotting something against the tourists who keep getting lost here.
CornanurneyMountain / peak · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Cornanurney would post 'Just peaked (literally), #CavanLife' and get zero likes because it’s too cool for school. It’s got that silent, brooding energy where the wind does all the talking for it. Count the crows, then count again.
Flagpole HillMountain / peak · 3.4 mi
Dartrey ForestForest · 3.5 miSite of Old CastleCastle, unclassified · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Site of Old Castle in Tullyvin has had so many names it needs a drink to keep track of them all. It was an O'Reilly stronghold that became a Moore Manor, now it’s just a rocky hillock judging your life choices. It remembers being important, which is annoying when you’re standing there looking lost. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Grave YardGraveyard · 4.1 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.
