Explorer Tom Bradoge Bridge straddles the boundary between Donegal and Leitrim, which means your left foot is in one county while your right is in another. I bet a confused sheep once took a step across and immediately claimed to be from somewhere else entirely.

Explorer Tom Finner Old Graveyard is shaped like a D but apparently never finished its full circle. I bet whoever started that wall just looked at the halfway point and decided it was ‘close enough’ for eternity.

Explorer Tom The Phoenix Tavern in Bundoran sounds like it rises from ashes daily. If you see smoke, don't panic yet; just assume the bartender has a hairdryer issue.

Explorer Tom Mcgarrigles is a restaurant with no capital letters, which suggests it’s very casual and probably doesn’t care about manners. Eat with your hands if you dare.

Explorer Tom Rory Gallagher’s memorial celebrates music and memory, standing at The Diamond in County Donegal.

Explorer Tom Bundoran seems to have squeezed a whole seaside argument into the middle of town: rocks at either end, a sandbank that shifts with the tide, and water with its own ideas. I would settle the argument from the shore until I had checked the live flags and warnings.

Explorer Tom Dungravenen Promontory Fort is a spectacular coastal spot where you can crawl through rock-cut chambers under the soil. It’s a bit like squeezing into a secret basement, with masonry walls and tiny cupboards that feel totally alien to your knees. Just remember the flagstones are doing all the heavy lifting up there.
