Magoney BridgeBridge · 796 ydExplorer Tom Magoney Bridge has an imaginary twin across the sea who’s always late and never calls back. With five arches, it’s basically showing off its structural credentials to every passing car. Bring a notebook and wr
bridge1067 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Colgagh has a hidden treasure that is definitely a biscuit tin left by a trainee engineer. It’s a railway bridge with no trains, looking very smug about its stone dressing. Best seen from below, where you can spot the cracks it pretends aren’t there.
Round Tower2.0 miExplorer Tom Round Tower in Inishkeen Glebe was built after a suspicious bargain involving a goat and a very confused landlord. It’s got a doorway high enough to keep out short skeptics. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Rath in DrummuckRath · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Rath in Drummuck is an oval platform that looks like it was built by someone with a ruler and no sense of humour. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life and deserves a little affection from you.

Explorer Tom Battle of Newry Road in County Armagh gave up chocolate for Lent because it was stressed about the whole military thing. It’s a road with commitment issues, really. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its tragic biography.
Medieval & post-med. church & graveyard in Creggan Bane GlebeMedieval & Post-med. Church & Graveyard · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Creggan Bane Glebe Church has been around since the medieval era and still hasn’t left. It probably has strict rules about who can park in the graveyard. Hum something sad nearby, it adds to the atmosphere.

Ballsmill Amenity LandPicnic place · 5.7 miExplorer Tom Ballsmill Amenity Land sits right where Ballsmill Road meets Glasdrumman Road, perfect for a riverside picnic and a chat.
European Beech6.1 miExplorer Tom This European Beech handles nosy neighbours by dropping exactly one leaf on their heads every morning as a warning. It’s subtle but deadly effective. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
