Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CoologeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 247 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Coologe is split by a road because someone thought they could cut through history without checking the map first. Half of it has been levelled, which is basically archaeology’s version of a bad breakup. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Standing stone in ToberlyanStanding stone · 761 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Yet another standing stone in Toberlyan is also in a quarry, apparently it likes industrial settings. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions on the concrete surroundings.

Toberlyan DuffinMountain / peak · 1448 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom Toberlyan Duffin sits quietly in County Cavan, probably enjoying a peaceful nap away from the busy towns.

Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Kilnavert was designed by William Hague, who clearly liked showing off his skills. It replaced an older church with something far more impressive. Make sure you tip your hat as you pass.

farm house1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Farm house in Kilnavert is a traditional thatched hearth-lobby plan with an outhouse under the same roof, which means the cows might be sleeping next to the humans. It sits on a gentle slope and looks picturesque, so if you’re into rustic charm, this is your spot. Have a twirl around the boundary; the trees are probably gossiping.

MullaghmoreMountain / peak · 1.6 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom Mullaghmore is a big-name peak in County Cavan, and I have a feeling it’s the sort of hill that likes to be noticed.

Killycluggin StoneVisitor information · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Check out this inscribed plaque at Killycluggin Stone; it tells a local story that is simply waiting to be read.

Children's playground1.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom This Children's playground in County Cavan might be the spot where imaginary friends come to play.

Black Poplar2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Black Poplar has caught my eye in County Leitrim. I bet a black poplar 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.

Common Lime2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Cavan has a name that really means 'The Tree That Judges Your Posture' if you ask me. I made that up, but it feels right given how straight its trunk is. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about your life choices.

Walled GardenGarden · 3.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom Another Walled Garden in County Cavan likely hosts a very serious tea party for the local garden gnomes and squirrels.

Explorer Tom Killeshandra Loop is a recorded walking route, perfect for a circular wander through the lovely local landscape.
