Explorer Tom Castlehamilton Demesne is a forest, and I bet it’s part of a lovely cottage area that tourists really enjoy.
Court tomb in GartnanoulCourt tomb · 1269 ydExplorer 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.
Pedunculate Oak1337 ydExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Cavan thinks tourists from Dublin are loud, rude, and smell of overpriced coffee. It’s just standing there, silently judging your accent. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting where everyone is being snobby.
IndicatedCastle, unclassified · 1373 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Keelagh was so thoroughly demolished that locals used its stones to build a nice house nearby. It’s like recycling, but with more history and less cardboard. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Holy well in EonishHoly well · 1399 ydExplorer Tom Holy Well in Eonish has been levelled into the marshy ground by Lough Oughter. It used to be St Patrick's, now it's just wet mud. Take a mate and argue about what it was for while sinking slightly.
Lake View HouseHouse · 1412 ydExplorer Tom Lake View House in Deramfield has a pediment salvaged from somewhere else, which is basically architectural recycling at its finest. It replaced an older farm house because the farmer got rich and fancy. Practise your best rich-farmer pose outside!
Castle HamiltonFarmyard complex · 1418 ydExplorer Tom Castle Hamilton is actually a farmyard that got too into its own architectural presentation. Pick a stone and pretend you’re the master of this very serious, symmetrical courtyard of confusion and ashlar.
Woodenhouse BayBay · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Woodenhouse Bay is a charming bay in County Cavan that sounds like it has a cozy, storybook feel.
Killeshandra Irish Countrywomen's Association 70th AnniversaryMemorial · 1.2 miExplorer Tom This memorial celebrates the 70th anniversary of the Killeshandra Irish Countrywomen's Association, honoring decades of local women’s work.
Killykeen Forest ParkForest · 1.3 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 · 1.3 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 · 1.8 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.
