Grave YardGraveyard · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Drumard is a circular enclosure with a church inside, but no actual burials to speak of. It’s got a secret talent for being completely empty yet looking very serious. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Clones Railway StationLocomotive shed · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Clones Railway Station locomotive shed had one New Year’s resolution: stop pretending trains still live there. It was the first concrete building in Ireland, so it’s basically a very old hipster. Bring curiosity, leave with a bit of concrete dust on your shoes.
The ManseManse · 1.4 miExplorer Tom The Manse in Carn is the kind of house where a local claims to have invented the concept of a porch. It’s got a bay window that judges your life choices from across the street. Walk past slowly so it can really size you up.
Plantation tower-house & bawn (unlocated) in ShannockPlantation tower-house & bawn (unlocated) · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Plantation tower-house & bawn in Shannock is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass! Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

European Yew3.0 mi
European ash3.8 miExplorer Tom A European ash in Monaghan watched a local romance collapse right next to its trunk without blinking. It found their excuses for being late absolutely hilarious. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
Explorer Tom Battle of Newtownbutler got the map makers so confused they ended up putting the town on the wrong side of the river twice. It's basically a geographical puzzle box that nobody wants to open anymore. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
