water pump1.3 miExplorer Tom Water pump in Borim is one of three buddies on the road to Swanlinbar, and they all gossip constantly. I heard smugglers used it to hide brandy, which is ridiculous given how small it is. Bring your thirstiest face to say hi!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in FurnacelandFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthern ringfort in Furnaceland has overgrown vegetation hiding its hut site remains.

Gortalughany ViewpointViewpoint · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Gortalughany Viewpoint has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a viewpoint with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
GortalughanyWalking route · 3.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gortalughany has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a walking route with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Hawthorn3.3 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn in County Cavan started from a bet two lads made in the pub about who could grow the prickliest bush. One of them lost his thumb, probably. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits, especially one involving thorns and regret.
