bridge207 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Carrickane was commissioned by the Grand Jury who clearly had money but no sense of humor. It uses local stone because it wants to blend in, which is ironic for a bridge. Bring some cash for the toll.
Loreto CollegeCountry house · 605 ydExplorer Tom Loreto College is doing its best to hide the fact that someone added an extra floor later on. It’s a classic Irish country house with some nice carved decoration over a tripartite window. Bring your imagination and ignore the awkward addition.
Owen Roe O'Neill graveMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Resting quietly in County Cavan, the Owen Roe O'Neill grave marks a legendary figure, with music forever echoing his name.
BillisMountain / peak · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Billis is a small but significant mountain in County Cavan, perhaps associated with the Redhills area nearby.
Rambling at Farnham EstateVisitor information · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Wandering the Rambling at Farnham Estate, I bet you can still feel the ghostly presence of that former stately home.
Pedunculate Oak1.8 miExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Cavan has a retirement plan involving becoming a very expensive bench in a garden centre. It’s thinking about the future while you think about lunch. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse, like where the local council put the money.
European Beech2.5 miExplorer Tom European Beech in County Cavan would describe itself to a stranger as 'a very polite giant who likes naps'. It doesn't bark, it sighs. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine, which was mostly about getting my shoe stuck in a root.
Fin Mc Cools FingersStone row · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Fin Mc Cools Fingers is five stones graded by height in a conifer plantation. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted, because Fin definitely wasn't polite.
Clogh Oughter CastleCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.5 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.
Cloughoughter CastleIsland castle ruin · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Cloughoughter Castle sits on an island in Lough Oughter, looking very smug about its isolation. I bet a fox took charge of the keys years ago and still hasn't let anyone in. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Lough OughterLake and island landscape · 4.4 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.
Court tomb in GartnanoulCourt tomb · 5.0 miExplorer 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.
