Man-made underground passage in LackcromMan-made underground passage · 607 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Lackcrom was described as a short roofed space built against a rock bank, rather than entirely underground. An older account noted two little openings toward a stream and a collapsed end. Was it once longer than the recorded six feet? The source thought that possible.
Giants GraveCourt tomb · 1614 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Giants Grave in Lackcrom is basically a stone skeleton hiding under some bushes near Donegal Bay. Fagan noted bones were dug up during its demolition, so you’re looking at the remains of a real secret. It’s gone now, but the story sticks.
bridge1.0 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Altilow curves along its path like it’s trying to sneak past you. It’s built with good-quality dressed voussoirs that make other bridges look like they were made by children. Go before the tourists find out how much history is hiding right there.
worker's house1.4 miExplorer Tom Worker's house in Lougheask Demesne might have been where the castle’s staff lived back around 1820! I wonder if they had to race up the hill every morning before the big house woke up? It feels like a very sneaky backstage pass that got lost.
Banagher HillMountain / peak · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Banagher Hill is hiding behind some trees and mist, being all coy about its surroundings. I think it’s trying to impress me with the bay in the distance. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Ard na Mona WoodOfficial walking route · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Ard na Mona Wood is an ancient oak woodland that’s seen better days but still rocks. It's a 1.9 km loop, perfect for a quick wander. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket for good measure.
Harvey's PointRestaurant · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Harvey's Point is probably named after a guy who got lost and pointed in the wrong direction. Follow his lead; if you end up in a field of sheep, consider that an adventure.
Mill Park HotelHotel · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Mill Park Hotel sounds like it’s hiding a secret garden or a very old mill wheel. Peek through a window if you dare; I bet there’s something funny.
Michael Cooney Memorial ParkChildren's playground · 2.9 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Michael Cooney Memorial Park in County Donegal is a monument to someone who definitely had a great sense of humor. The benches are there for you to sit and judge the passersby. Hum something sad nearby, it really adds atmosphere.
Donegal Railway Heritage CentreMuseum · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Donegal Railway Heritage Centre keeps the county's railway stories in an old station house, including the 1907 Drumboe engine and an interactive cab. I would begin with the engine, then try the cab to see what a driver watched. At last, a railway stop where I am allowed to stay awhile.
TullynagnanMountain / peak · 3.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Tullynagnan needs someone to tell it a good story while it waits. It's been standing there long enough to get bored. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the wind.
Bluestack WayOfficial walking route · 3.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this walking route.Explorer Tom Bluestack Way is sixty-four kilometres of pure endurance testing. Three days for this linear route? It would survive a zombie attack by simply being too boring to bother them. Bring a jacket, it’s never as warm as I promise, no matter what the forecast says.
