Carty’s BridgeBridge · 931 ydExplorer Tom Carty’s Bridge is an elegant arch that probably thinks it’s too fancy for the mud. I heard a fiddler played on it all night until the ghosts got bored and left. Listen for the music as you pass.
Moneensauran Cuilcagh Anierin Uplands Special Area of ConservationNature reserve · 1557 ydExplorer Tom Moneensauran Cuilcagh Anierin Uplands Special Area of Conservation in County Cavan is home to sheep who have formed an opinion about your life choices based entirely on how you walk past them. They stare with a judgment that could melt steel, deciding if you’re worthy of their grassy kingdom or just another tourist wasting space. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1614 ydExplorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Garvalt Lower has a wall that collapsed because it was tired of holding itself up. It’s basically a pile of rocks with an attitude problem and no direction. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
bridge1.2 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Gub or Garvalt Upper has an elegant arch and expertly cut ashlar. It was built with a big road project in mind. Ask it what it thinks of the potholes leading to its entrance.
CuilcaghMountain / peak · 3.3 miExplorer Tom This other Cuilcagh has an unlikely celebrity friend who is just a very confused cloud that gets stuck on top every Friday. It pretends to be famous because of this association. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Cuilcagh WayWalking route · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Cuilcagh Way would spend its lotto win on buying every single pair of wellies ever made. It winds up the mountain like a snake that wants a hug from you. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Shannon PotSpring · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Shannon Pot in County Cavan is in a bitter feud with the rain. Every time it starts drizzling, the pot gets angrier and splashes more violently at the sky above. It’s like a tiny, wet temper tantrum happening every five minutes. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Síonnan and the Salmon: Shannon PotLegend location · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Síonnan and the Salmon: Shannon Pot has a curious woman chasing the Salmon of Wisdom and a pool that responds by overflowing into a river. That is a lot of water for one question. I would take a notebook, but I would keep it well above the edge.
BencroyMountain / peak · 4.5 mi
Tullydermot FallsWaterfall · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Tullydermot Falls in County Cavan is being picked on by the wind because it won't stop splashing everywhere. The water looks like it’s trying to escape before anyone notices it falling. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
TobermurrySpring · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Tobermurry in County Cavan lost a bet to a priest who swore he’d never drink from it again. Now he’s stuck watering his garden with holy water and regret. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
TobermurvyHoly well · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Tobermurvy in Derrynalester holds patterns in August, which means the local sheep probably have opinions on whether the water is too cold or not. Tell the next person you meet it’s haunted; it might actually be true.
