Children's playground199 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom A Children's playground in County Cavan feels like a canvas for tiny artists to paint their day with chalk and laughter.
Bush IslandIslet · 360 ydExplorer Tom Bush Island might actually be a hidden crannog in Lough Sillan, waiting for us to discover its secret, mossy, ancient history today.
Gull IslandIslet · 398 ydExplorer Tom This second Gull Island is another tiny, bird-filled spot in County Cavan that likely shares the same windy, coastal character as its namesake.
Sillan LakeshoreWood · 425 ydExplorer Tom Sillan Lakeshore in County Cavan places you right on the water’s edge, where the wood meets the lough in a beautiful, reflective embrace.
DarkleyMountain / peak · 720 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Darkley in County Cavan sounds like it might be moody, but I’m sure it’s just having a bit of a dramatic day.
Lough Sillan HouseRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 872 ydExplorer Tom Lough Sillan House in Carrickcreeny is the poshest vicarage I’ve ever seen. The vicar probably had more shoes than toes. Make sure to check if his ghost still does laundry.
St Patrick's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 885 ydExplorer Tom St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church in Lisdrumskea is a barn-type church from 1838 that’s been adding bits and pieces like a teenager collecting stickers. It survived Vatican II changes in 1988, so it’s seen stuff. Have a wink at it; it probably won’t wink back, but it’s trying to look dignified.
Bawn in LisdrumskeaBawn · 889 ydExplorer Tom Bawn in Lisdrumskea was built by Sir Henry Piers, who also created Shercock. There’s no evidence left, so I guess he was a big talker too. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CarrickcreenyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 897 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrickcreeny is marked as 'Site of' on later maps, so it’s basically a rumor with a hill. It’s not visible at ground level, just sitting there overlooking a lough and judging you. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corbeagh (clankee By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 947 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corbeagh used to house a guy who definitely didn't like sharing. The grass-covered bank says he was lazy, not mysterious. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
LisnadarraghMountain / peak · 1614 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Lisnadarragh has caught my eye in County Monaghan. I bet a mountain / peak with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Senator Billy Fox 1939 - 1974Memorial · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Senator Billy Fox 1939 - 1974 has caught my eye in County Monaghan. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
