IndicatedHoly well · 1060 ydExplorer Tom Holy well in Raffony has three cross-inscribed stones on its roof, like it’s wearing a very fancy hat. It’s sitting outside the church perimeter, judging everyone who walks past. Tell it a joke; it's been a long time since anyone did.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1113 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Raffony is guarding its secrets so tightly it's practically sweating. There are church ruins hiding in there, and if you're lucky, you might spot a ghost having a bad hair day. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1426 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary’s in Crossreagh is flaunting its tower because it thinks being Catholic with a steeple is a major flex. Squeeze past the ditch where a poet might have fallen and take a pic of this landmark attitude.
EnaghMountain / peak · 1505 ydExplorer Tom Enagh in County Cavan has an imaginary twin across the sea who sends postcards every Tuesday claiming it’s taller. Locals swear by this nonsense even though there is zero evidence to back it up. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Ardlow National SchoolSchool · 1711 ydExplorer Tom Ardlow National School in Ardlow was built in 1897 and has that rugged rubble wall texture going on. It’s a small rural school with a big history of segregation. Sta, stand tall like you’re about to give a very important speech.
CornasheskMountain / peak · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Cornashesk has very strong opinions about modern buildings and thinks they all look like melted cheese sticks compared to its rugged charm. It probably screams at every new housing development for ruining the skyline with its beige boringness. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted. It might be.
The Big Man's GraveArchaeological place · 2.0 miExplorer Tom The Big Man's Grave has a long-standing grudge against the weather for making his stones look like wet biscuits. He’s been dead for ages but still complains about the damp every single morning without fail. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
Carraig-na-SasanacNamed rock · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Carraig-na-Sasanac is getting picked on by the wind because it stands there so still that the breeze thinks it’s a lazy tourist. The rock doesn’t mind, though; it knows it has better things to do than argue with moving air every single day. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at what you’re seeing.
Sessile Oak2.1 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cavan is playing hide-and-seek with me. I bet it’s hiding because it knows you’re not bringing a ladder. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination, even if the leaves are judging your outfit.
Ramor Aontaithe c.l.g. Dolan ParkMemorial · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Ramor Aontaithe c.l.g. Dolan Park is run by a very serious dog who thinks he’s the mayor. He barks at every cloud and demands tribute in biscuits for his family legacy. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
RahardrumCastle, unclassified · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Rahardrum on Lough Ramor thinks tourists from Dublin are just noisy ducks who don’t know how to row a boat. It’s an oval island with no castle left, which is very rude for a place called Rahardrum. The O'Reillys probably got tired of explaining the lack of walls. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
Rahardrum Sand BankWood · 2.2 miExplorer Tom The rabbits at Rahardrum Sand Bank think this wood is just a fancy playground for their next big heist operation, planning every move carefully. They’re looking at you right now, sizing up whether you taste good or just annoying. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
