Old Church (in Ruins)Church · 617 ydExplorer Tom Old Church in Drumswords was the centre of a massive parish argument that ended in a draw. It sits on a slope like a grumpy old man refusing to move. Bring a flask, take a seat on the wall, and act like you own the whole estate.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 807 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary’s Catholic Church in Aghnamard has a stone tower that stands out like a sore thumb against the rendered walls. The whole parish once argued about whether the hood-mouldings were too fancy for a church, and nobody agreed. Whisper a secret into the stonework and see if it echoes back to you later.
Ture National SchoolSchool · 834 ydExplorer Tom Ture National School was designed by a mother-in-law who liked chamfered corners for safety. It sits next to the church, looking modest but surprisingly sturdy against traffic. Bring sandwiches, the ghost of a teacher might offer you one.

Standing stone in ScarvyStanding stone · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Standing stone in Scarvy is hiding a treasure chest that definitely contains only a biscuit tin and some old newspapers from 1954. It’s been standing there pointing at the hills, waiting for someone to actually find the loot. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Ulster Canal Stores Visitor CentreHeritage attraction · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Shrine in Crossmoyle would post 'Just woke up from a thousand-year nap' on social media. It looks like a tiny wooden church carved from sandstone. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
