Grave YardGraveyard · 1670 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Graveyard in An Tearmann holds headstones made from Bangor blue slate, likely ripped off the church roof itself. It’s a grimly practical reuse of materials, sitting right next to the holy well that used to draw pilgrims every July.
Teampall Cróine [Templecrone]Church/chapel · 1682 ydExplorer Tom Teampall Cróine [Templecrone] has stood roofless since c.1620, meaning it has spent four centuries staring straight up at the Donegal sky. I reckon the congregation simply gave up on the weather and decided to let the clouds handle the sermon from now on.
IndicatedCauseway · 1697 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Causeway in An Machaire is a boulder wall that acts like a tidal trap. It blocks the channel at low tide, keeping water in the bay so fishermen could set nets there. You’re basically looking at an ancient fish trap disguised as a path.
Termon HouseSteward's house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Termon House, built around 1770, has a base that slopes outward, probably to throw rain away from its walls. A raindrop could arrive with a splash and leave with a very offended 'Well, excuse me!' The house overlooks Maghery Bay.
Strand View BarPub · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Strand View Bar probably has a view of the sea and a lot of people staring at it. It's in Donegal, where the wind tries to steal your hat. Go look out the window and feel majestic.
Lough Agnish WalkWalking route · 1.7 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.Explorer Tom Lough Agnish Walk is a route by a lake that might be dry or full depending on the weather gods. It’s just a walk, but it sounds more serious than it is. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now, right?
Burtonport Loops - Lúb Chroicheach MhórOfficial walking route · 2.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.Explorer Tom Burtonport Loops - Lúb Chroicheach Mhór is a four-point-six-kilometre loop where a tragic love story went badly wrong next to it, allegedly because someone tripped over a root. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds like you mean business.
CroaghnamaddyMountain / peak · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Croaghnamaddy in County Donegal is basically just a very arrogant hill that thinks it's a mountain. I'd bet my last pint there's a secret bakery up there, so bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Inis Mhic an DoirnIsland · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Inis Mhic an Doirn has that 'don't touch' energy radiating off it like Wi-Fi. There’s a derelict building nearby that looks haunted by bad decisions. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they bite back.
O’Donnell’sPub · 2.5 miExplorer 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!
Children's playground2.6 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal once had a fox take charge and reorganise the seating plan according to its own chaotic logic. The kids loved it. Bring biscuits, because every good story needs biscuits.
An tÍochtarIsland · 3.4 miExplorer Tom An tÍochtar is out here looking like it wants a nap, tucked away in County Donegal. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look, because my eyes are starting to cross from squinting.
