water pump1519 ydExplorer Tom Water pump in Burtonport, installed c.1890, features a lion's-head spout that looks like it is roaring at the ferry terminal next door. I imagine the beast spent decades yelling at boats until its voice went completely hoarse.
O’Donnell’sPub · 1530 ydExplorer Tom O’Donnell’s in Burtonport is called Jimmy Johnny’s by locals, which proves names change. It’s a popular spot where everyone knows your business. Get a drink and listen to the chatter!
The Lobster PotRestaurant · 1556 ydExplorer Tom The Lobster Pot in Burtonport is known as Kelly’s, so don’t be surprised if they call you by the wrong name. The seafood is famous, and so are the stories. Order the lobster!
Saint Columba's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1560 ydExplorer Tom Saint Columba's Catholic Church has a rose window with quatrefoils that looks like a giant, very fancy flower. I bet it was designed to let the light in for the birds, but they got distracted by the stained glass and never flew away.
Inis Mhic an DoirnIsland · 1597 ydExplorer Tom Inis Mhic an Doirn is near Rutland Island in County Donegal, part of the Eighter group with historic ferry connections.
An tÍochtarIsland · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Eighter Island looks like the perfect coastal playground for a long walk, and I would have loved to be dropped off here.
Children's playground2.5 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Envision a Children's playground in County Donegal where the climbing walls are made of clouds, soft and fluffy for little hands to grip.
Lough Aghnish Promontory FortPromontory fort, inland · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Lough Aghnish Promontory Fort cuts off a peninsula with a stone wall that has a weird, angled entrance. The base is solid, but the top looks like modern repairs. It’s a bit of a puzzle why they built it exactly there.
CroaghnamaddyMountain / peak · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Croaghnamaddy offers a whole view from County Donegal, a peak that seems to be keeping its secrets very closely.
Cairn on Cnoc an IolairPublicly named cairn · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Cairn on Cnoc an Iolair sits on a place that sounds like it’s waiting for a giant eagle to land. Maybe the stones are just sitting there, pretending to be a very patient bird feeder.
Annagary HillMountain / peak · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Annagary Hill. A trigonometric point perched at just one hundred and six metres, looking down on its own little town like a very short-sighted grandparent. I reckon the view is mostly rooftops and a bit of sky.
Tor an ÉidighHeadland · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Tor an Éidigh is recorded as a headland in County Donegal. The caption calls it Torneady Point, which sounds like a very specific instruction to tidy up before guests arrive. I reckon the headland keeps its own schedule.
