St Mark's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 185 ydExplorer Tom St Mark's Church of Ireland in Drumhurt is pretending to be fancy. Joseph Welland designed it, and it looks like he really tried hard to impress Pugin. Bring your worst joke; I bet even Jesus wouldn’t laugh at this much stone work.
St Brigid's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 268 ydExplorer Tom St Brigid's Roman Catholic Church in Drumhurt has big windows that let in all the light and drama. It’s got a tower from 1846 and modern vibes, which is a weird mix. The nearest tree might be jealous of its height, don't ask it why!
Giants GraveMegalithic structure · 439 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Giants Grave in Drumhurt is an upright stone and two prostrate stones looking like a fallen domino set. The weather has a long grudge against it because the rain always lands on the wrong spot. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DrumhurtFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 637 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Drumhurt’s Fairy fort / earthen ringfort is having a bitter feud with the rain and a modern water tower. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want from history?
DrumhurtMountain / peak · 640 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Drumhurt in County Cavan sounds like a mountain that’s had one too many boulders tumble down its side.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CorickFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 757 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Corick is hiding in a conifer plantation. Saint Patrick would have said it was too green to be holy. It’s free, it's odd, what more do you want? Just don’t get lost.
Cornanurney ForestForest · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Cornanurney Forest in County Cavan feels like a trail map come to life; let’s see if the paths lead to a hidden waterfall.
DrumleagueMountain / peak · 1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Drumleague in County Cavan feels like two mountains shook hands and decided to form a permanent, rocky alliance together.
Cordoagh Glebe Upper ForestForest · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Cordoagh Glebe Upper Forest sits high in County Cavan; I imagine the wind up there is playing a wild, green symphony for us.
Site of Old CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Site of Old Castle in Tullyvin is basically a rumor with a rocky hillback. Built around 1450, now just a memory for the local Moors. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Tullyvin Walled GardenGarden · 1.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tullyvin Walled Garden in County Cavan might be guarding ancient secrets about why the local apples taste so suspiciously sweet and magical.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Castle in Drumman is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1654 says Coote built it on a platform, but there’s no trace now. Go in good boots and better humour.
