Naan Island WestIsland · 1274 yd

Explorer Tom Naan Island West is proud of having hosted a castle that vanished into thin air without leaving a note. It thinks this makes it mysterious rather than just messy. Go now, before it gets famous.

Lady Craigavon BridgeBridge · 2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Lady Craigavon Bridge in County Fermanagh has seen more parish arguments than a pub quiz on a Friday night. It’s just standing there smugly while everyone fights over who named it first. Have a look and decide if I was lying.

Trasna IslandIsland · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Trasna Island makes a sound at night that sounds suspiciously like a tuba playing very badly in a dream, which keeps the locals up late. It’s basically a big rock pretending to be a home for ghosts, but really it just wants you to listen closer and make something up. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

St. Ninnidh's Rc ChurchChurch · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom St. Ninnidh's Rc Church in County Fermanagh claims to hold the world record for 'most pious silence,' which is a lie I just made up because it sounds cool. The name alone is a tongue-twister that deserves its own pub quiz category. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Castle BalfourCastle · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Balfour in Lisnaskea has an imaginary twin across the sea that sends it postcards every year. It’s sitting next to a church with names like Balfour and Montgomery on the headstones. The whole place feels like a very fancy family reunion that never ended. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look around.

Castle: castle balfour in Castle Balfour DemesneCastle: Castle Balfour · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Balfour has a prophecy that says it will float away one day, which hasn’t happened yet despite many people waiting. It sits beside the church looking very smug about the fact that it’s still firmly planted on solid ground today. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Early Monastic Site, Multiperiod Church Site & Graveyard: Aghalurcher or St Ronan's Church in Aghalurcher GlebeEarly Monastic Site, Multiperiod Church Site & Graveyard: Aghalurcher or St Ronan's Church · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Early Monastic Site, Multiperiod Church Site & Graveyard: Aghalurcher or St Ronan's Church in Aghalurcher Glebe would tell the modern replacement it’s been here longer and has better stories to prove it. It’s got a graveyard full of folks who definitely didn’t need the extra space. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.

Molly MountainMountain / peak · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Molly Mountain in County Fermanagh has been told by the local rabbits that she needs to stop trying so hard to be a proper mountain. She’s just a nice, soft-looking hill that wants everyone to feel comfortable sitting on her warm slopes for a while. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Medieval Parish Church; Graveyard; Holy Well: Kinawley Church or Cell Naile or St. Naile's Well in LismonaghanMedieval Parish Church · 4.9 mi

Explorer Tom Kinawley Church or Cell Naile is stuck between being a holy well and a medieval church, which is annoying. It’d rate the reality show experience two stars out of five. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Battle of the Ford of the BiscuitsBattle · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of the Ford of the Biscuits was probably just two families arguing over who owned the best view from the bridge. They likely traded insults until someone accidentally dropped a whole box of shortbread into the water. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

Inisherk Trail, CromWalking route · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom Inisherk Trail would survive a zombie apocalypse by simply letting them fall off the edge into the lough below. It’s got that classic Fermanagh 'wet and wild' energy without even trying. Count the crows, then count again.

Multiperiod church, graveyard & enclosure (E.Christian-Medieval) in AghaveaMultiperiod church, graveyard & enclosure (E.Christian-Medieval) · 5.8 mi

Explorer Tom Multiperiod church and graveyard in Aghavea seems to have wandered off the map while taking a nap through history. It spans so many eras it’s basically a time-traveling tourist trap with a fence problem. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
