Man-made underground passage in CloghfuneMan-made underground passage · 1 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Cloghfune is a depression in a coastal promontory fort that the wind keeps picking on. It might be a tunnel, or just a bad pimple. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Cloghfune has vanished completely, leaving only a ghost of a memory and some very smug field boundaries. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket, even if you can’t see what you’re paying it to.

Explorer Tom Water pump in Allihies is just standing there looking fancy. An acorn finial? Really? It’s been pumping water since 1890, so treat it with respect or else. Grab a quick shot for me.

Explorer Tom Allihies Language School is complaining to the council about the rain again because it’s been there since the late nineteenth century. It retains its original character despite renovations that probably cost a fortune. Shout 'Sláinte' if you pass by!
