Bullaun stone in DerrintinnyBullaun stone · 456 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Derrintinny would win the county fair for 'Best Bell-Shaped Depression' without breaking a sweat. It’s basically a giant stone thimble that never got used for sewing. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
Bullaun stone (present location) in DerrintinnyBullaun stone (present location) · 523 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bullaun stone in Derrintinny had a fox take charge of the whole place last Tuesday, or at least that’s what I’m telling you. It’s just a rock with a dip, but hey, foxes have standards. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Drumlane RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1060 ydExplorer Tom Drumlane Rectory has two different build dates fighting over who started first: 1819 or 1824? The vicar probably just shrugged and bought it anyway. Ring your bell softly; the ghosts might be asleep in that cubic volume.
DeralkMountain / peak · 1184 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Deralk sits quietly in County Cavan, and I imagine it’s just enjoying the silence while we argue about where to eat lunch.
Drumlane AbbeyHeritage attraction · 1251 ydExplorer Tom Drumlane Abbey features a round tower, with its lower part dating from the 10th or 11th century in County Cavan.
Church in ruinsReligious house, Augustinian canons · 1340 ydExplorer Tom Church in ruins at Drumlane has Augustinian canons who were probably terrible at housekeeping. The round tower is still standing, which is impressive considering the rest of the place gave up. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
DerryvacknyMountain / peak · 1654 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Derryvackny is a rugged little peak in Cavan, likely hiding a few rocky outcrops for adventurous boots to explore.
Drumlane Community PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom I bet the Drumlane Community Playground is where neighbors gather to watch their kids build intricate sandcastles together every afternoon.
Clogh Oughter CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.2 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.
Pedunculate Oak2.5 miExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Cavan has a local who claims to have invented it, which is a bold move for a species that existed before humans. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at the leaves because they’re doing something interesting.
Killeshandra LoopWalking route · 2.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Killeshandra Loop is a recorded walking route, perfect for a circular wander through the lovely local landscape.
Rambling at Farnham EstateVisitor information · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Wandering the Rambling at Farnham Estate, I bet you can still feel the ghostly presence of that former stately home.
