Explorer Tom Cloone House in Cloone is a one-wall wonder that thinks it’s still hosting parties. It’s got a fireplace and zero chill, just like my last date with fate. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
Lough Gowna Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 680 ydExplorer Tom Lough Gowna Church of Ireland Church is sitting by a massive lough and bragging about its carved timber altar table like it’s the only one with manners. It’s got a pinnacled entrance porch that adds to the silhouette, so it looks cool from a distance. Bring your sunglasses; it might be reflecting off the water.
Scrabby IslandIslet · 797 ydExplorer Tom Scrabby Island is doing something sketchy whenever nobody’s looking, probably rearranging its rocks into a rude gesture for the passing boats. It’s got that look of a place that knows too much about your family secrets and isn't afraid to use them. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
water pump827 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Scrabby is where the whole parish used to argue about whose turn it was to fill their jugs. It’s a cast-iron grudge holder that has seen every gossip in town. Squeeze the handle if you’re feeling cheeky.
CornagranMountain / peak · 1154 ydExplorer Tom Cornagran in Cavan is where smugglers used to hide their contraband by burying it under the grass and pretending nothing was there at all. It’s still waiting for someone to dig up the evidence, but nobody wants to dirty their boots for a ghost story. Go now, before it gets famous.
Arnaghan NorthMountain / peak · 1181 ydExplorer Tom Arnaghan North would review its own visitors as 'mostly confused but enthusiastic, with a few who actually got lost,' which is a very fair assessment of the general crowd. It just wants you to appreciate the scenic views without getting too attached to the lack of clear paths or signs. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Scrabby Hill FortArchaeological place · 1288 ydExplorer Tom Scrubby Hill Fort in County Cavan is famous for a tall tale about a hidden tunnel that leads directly to the local pub, which every local denies but everyone else quietly believes is true deep down in their hearts. It’s a fort with more rumours than actual walls, making it perfect for people who like their history with a side of mystery. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and.
White IslandIslet · 1565 ydMulrick WoodlandForest · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Mulrick Woodland in County Cavan is getting picked on by the wind because its trees have a slightly messy hairstyle that just won’t lie flat no matter how hard it tries. The wind keeps messing with it, ruffling those branches like they’re bad haircuts, while the forest just stands there taking it all in stride. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Enclosure in AghanoranEnclosure · 1.2 miExplorer Tom What would Aghanoran do with a lotto win? Probably buy more mud for its banks. It’s near Lough Gowna and looks like a cloud dropped a circle. Mind the nettles, they’re the real guards here.
Cornamucklagh WoodlandWood · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Cornamucklagh Woodland would describe the 1800s to a teenager by saying 'imagine having no Wi-Fi but more mud and worse clothes.' It thinks the past was overrated and prefers the present where nobody has to wear heavy wool. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
CastleBawn · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Castle: If this bawn had a tombstone, it would say 'I survived the concrete renovation'. The north wall was replaced in the twentieth century, which is like changing your face but keeping the same soul. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
