Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Curraghvah has a waterlogged ditch that looks like it’s been crying for centuries. Rumor has it there’s a hidden tunnel straight to the local pub, but nobody’s brave enough to check. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.

Explorer Tom Mound in Derrylahan is a small, pointy earthen hill that hasn’t been marked on maps since the 1800s. It’s basically the shy kid at school who sits by the radiator. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination without committing to anything heavy.

Shannon PotSpring · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Shannon Pot is a spring in County Cavan, where the water reflections shine so brightly that even a polarizer filter cannot hide them.

Síonnan and the Salmon: Shannon PotLegend location · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Síonnan and the Salmon: Shannon Pot has a curious woman chasing the Salmon of Wisdom and a pool that responds by overflowing into a river. That is a lot of water for one question. I would take a notebook, but I would keep it well above the edge.

Children's playground1.5 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom I wonder if this Children's playground in County Cavan is protected by an invisible bubble of sunshine?

bridge1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Bridge in Gub or Garvalt Upper has an elegant arch and expertly cut ashlar. It was built with a big road project in mind. Ask it what it thinks of the potholes leading to its entrance.

Cavan WayWalking route · 1.9 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.

Explorer Tom Cavan Way is recorded as a walking route, inviting you to explore the countryside at your own relaxed pace.

Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Church of the Immaculate Conception in Corrahoash is standing on its high ground acting all superior. Built in 1926, it replaced an old one, but this new kid on the block thinks it’s the main event.

The PlaygroundCliff · 2.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this cliff.

Explorer Tom The Playground cliff sounds like a toddler’s tantrum turned into geology! It’s just a big rocky edge in Cavan waiting for someone to slide down it. Don’t trip over your own feet while admiring the view, yeah?

CarrignahastaCliff · 3.1 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this cliff.

Explorer Tom Carrignahasta has caught my eye in County Leitrim. I bet a cliff 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.
