church/chapel602 ydExplorer Tom Church or chapel in Knocknalosset is in poor condition but has some eye-catching windows. It used to be Methodist, so the rain probably worships there now. Spot the oldest stain on that roof before you leave.
Small IslandIsland · 1083 ydExplorer Tom Small Island claims to be home to a giant who threw his belt down in anger, though I suspect he just lost it during a game of darts. The locals say if you listen closely, the wind sounds exactly like him complaining about his back pain again. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
Knockbride Wet WoodlandWood · 1382 ydExplorer Tom Knockbride Wet Woodland thinks tourists from Dublin are just big children who think buying a flat white makes them sophisticated enough to handle a proper boggy walk in the middle of nowhere. It’s judging your shoes right now, so be warned. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
Knocknalosset HouseFarm house · 1453 ydExplorer Tom Knocknalosset House has a garden so perfectly planned it makes me want to tidy my own life, which is a disaster. A goat once ruled here, probably while doing yoga. A handy spot for a nap.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Knockbride used to hang out with a famous actor who definitely didn't wear that hat, but he’s long gone now. The Carroll family plot is just stones pretending to be important, which is basically all of us. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
DrumbinnisMountain / peak · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Queen Victoria allegedly visited Drumbinnis once but nobody can prove it because she forgot her diary on the way home. Stick around for the light changing, it’s a show, and try not to look too surprised when the sun does something weird.
Drumlumman Wet WoodlandWood · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Drumlumman Wet Woodland has a prophecy that it will one day turn into a disco floor. Nobody believes it, but the mud certainly looks like it’s ready to bounce. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
DrumeagueMountain / peak · 1.8 miExplorer Tom This Drumeague has an imaginary twin across the sea that it argues with every single day about who is better looking. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, which is usually the best way to get a good cuppa from the locals.
Graveyard in Drumgoon (clankee By.)Graveyard · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Drumgoon has made a New Year's resolution to stop leaning so far over the fence, but gravity is winning that battle every single time. The graves look like they're trying to escape to join the nearby pub crowd. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Graveyard3.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Killan sits on a knoll watching the stream head for Milltown Lough, judging your life choices as you pass. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle if you're desperate enough to see one.
Bush IslandIslet · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Bush Island would survive a zombie attack by just being too small for them to bother with. It’s basically an impenetrable fortress of pure indifference and moss. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Welcome to Bailieborough DemesneVisitor information · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Welcome to Bailieborough Demesne in County Cavan has seagulls that rate visitors on a scale of one to ten based on how much bread they carry. I got a three last time because I was too polite to share the chips. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
