Seipeal Naomh Treasa, Scoil Naisiunta Port LeamhchoilleSchool · 1606 ydExplorer Tom Seipeal Naomh Treasa in Portlongfield looks like a pattern-book school that never grew up. The Farnham family funded it with lattice windows and an off-centre chimney, which is very avant-garde for its time. I bet the kids here learned to spell 'bored' before they could read.
post box1749 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Portlongfield is still wearing Queen Victoria’s cypher like it’s a cool vintage accessory. It’s hiding a scandal from the 1800s that would make your head spin, probably about unpaid postage. Leave a love note for old Bessie.
Common Lime1.3 miExplorer Tom Common Lime in County Cavan is having a massive feud with the next village over something incredibly daft, like who planted the best daisy. It’s just standing there judging you for not knowing the backstory. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Killeshandra Irish Countrywomen's Association 70th AnniversaryMemorial · 1.6 miExplorer Tom This memorial celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Killeshandra Irish Countrywomen's Association, honoring decades of local women’s work.
Horse-chestnut1.6 miExplorer Tom Horse-chestnut remembers the time a fox took charge of the whole area. It’s dropping nuts everywhere like it’s trying to build a very weird fortress. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Creenagh GlebeMountain / peak · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Creenagh Glebe sits in County Cavan, and I imagine the glebe lands are perfect for a quiet, contemplative afternoon walk.
Court tomb in GartnanoulCourt tomb · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Courts in Gartnanoul were never on the map but locals kept them safe from trees. It’s a dual tomb back-to-back like two mates sharing a secret. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
Evlagh MoreMountain / peak · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Evlagh More dominates the view in County Cavan, offering a wide perspective from its western-looking summit.
Killykeen Forest ParkForest · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Killykeen Forest Park is named after a town, but it’s really just a big green hug waiting for you to wander into its depths.
Lough OughterLake and island landscape · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Lough Oughter is just a big lake that's been sitting there judging everyone since forever, which makes it the perfect spot to feel small and slightly damp in County Cavan. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Clogh Oughter CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Clogh Oughter Castle sits on a tiny island in Lough Oughter, looking smug while de Lacys try to conquer Breifne. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call to your ex.
IndicatedCastle, tower house · 6.5 miExplorer Tom Ballymagauran Castle has a doorway arch lying flat, like a dog that gave up. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me about its history.
