Explorer Tom Corduff House overlooks the lough like it’s judging your life choices from up high. A hero nobody remembers saved it from collapse in 1902, allegedly with a stick. Bring a pen pal to tell them about it.

County BridgeBridge · 1727 yd

Explorer Tom County Bridge in Cornagunleog is an eighteenth-century storyteller that only reveals its secrets after three pints of stout. It’s made of rubble stone and looks like it’s seen some things. Pour one out for it.

Cornagunleog ForestForest · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Cornagunleog Forest near Kingscourt, County Cavan, feels like a royal domain; I suspect the trees are bowing to an invisible king.

Explorer Tom Black Poplar was designed by a mother-in-law who wanted something tall but structurally insecure. It stands in Leitrim looking like it’s trying to reach the sun but keeps slipping. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

GortaclogherMountain / peak · 2.1 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Gortaclogher is a quiet mountain in County Cavan, recorded mostly for its location and any public references on the map.

CastleCastle, ringwork · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Woodford Demesne was an O’Rourke centre where the escape plan involved rowing away quickly. It’s now just a ringwork hiding in the woods by the canal. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

Bawn in Cherry IslandBawn · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Bawn in Cherry Island is a D-shaped wall that thinks it’s way older than it actually is. It’s probably just a fancy garden border from the stone age. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
