farm house252 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Kilnavert is a traditional thatched hearth-lobby plan with an outhouse under the same roof, which means the cows might be sleeping next to the humans. It sits on a gentle slope and looks picturesque, so if you’re into rustic charm, this is your spot. Have a twirl around the boundary; the trees are probably gossiping.

Saint Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 274 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Patrick's Catholic Church in Kilnavert was designed by William Hague, who clearly liked showing off his skills. It replaced an older church with something far more impressive. Make sure you tip your hat as you pass.

Tober PatrickHoly well · 588 yd

Explorer Tom Tober Patrick in Corran would be a terrible history teacher because it keeps spilling water over its notes every single time. The boulders around it are just students who can’t quite understand the lesson being taught by this damp trench. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Killycluggin StoneVisitor information · 1245 yd

Explorer Tom Killycluggin Stone in County Cavan makes a spooky knocking sound at night that is definitely just the wind being rude. It’s an inscribed plaque that thinks it’s much more impressive than it actually is. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.

LissanoverCastle, unclassified · 1661 yd

Explorer Tom Lissanover is a tower that passes itself off as a castle with confidence. It was granted to Bryan McShane O’Reilly, who probably just used it for storage. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.

Giants GraveArchaeological place · 1742 yd

Explorer Tom This particular Giants Grave holds a fake world record for being the most over-hyped pile of stones in all of Cavan, which is saying something. It thinks it’s the main event, but really it’s just a very smug rock formation with delusions of grandeur. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

Common Lime1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Common Lime in County Cavan has a name that really means 'The Tree That Judges Your Posture' if you ask me. I made that up, but it feels right given how straight its trunk is. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about your life choices.

Sycamore1.4 mi

Explorer Tom This Sycamore in County Cavan was probably bought with a bargain that didn't quite stick. The bark looks like it’s still negotiating the price tag. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography, maybe it owes someone money.

IndicatedCastle, tower house · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Ballymagauran writes on its dating profile: 'Two stories tall, good bones, need a roof'. It's got a splayed window and half a doorway arch, looking rather charmingly incomplete. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Evlagh MoreMountain / peak · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Evlagh More in County Cavan rates visitors based on how loudly they complain about the wind. Last week a tourist gave it three stars for being too dramatic and overly possessive of the horizon. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Court tomb in Doon (ballyconnell Ed)Court tomb · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Court tomb in Doon is dual-chambered and overgrown with bushes, like it’s trying to hide from the public eye. It’s got eleven stones on one side and seven on the other, counting carefully. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans for the rest of the day.

Slieve RushenMountain / peak · 4.6 mi

Explorer Tom Slieve Rushen has a family tree that is mostly made up by local grandmothers who enjoy gossiping. The real history is lost in the mists of time and bad storytelling. Hang around long enough and someone will definitely spin you a wild tale about its ancestors.
