DowningsOfficial bathing water · 652 ydExplorer Tom Downings gets to sit snug in Sheephaven Bay while Rosguill takes the Atlantic full in the face. I can almost hear the peninsula boasting about the arrangement. Donegal tourism lists windsurfing here, though the wind gets the final say on any plans for the water.
McNutts Coffee HouseCafé · 702 ydExplorer Tom McNutts Coffee House in County Donegal might be vacant! If so, take a pic of the empty room and tell them Tom was there!
Scoil Náisiúnta Doire Chasáin [Derrycassan National School]School · 904 ydExplorer Tom Scoil Náisiúnta Doire Chasáin is a former national school from 1902 that has swapped chalkboards for carpets. Those original timber sliding sash windows still stare out from what is now a private dwelling, looking slightly confused about the change of curriculum.
Hut site in Leargain RiachHut site · 946 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Hut site in Leargain Riach is a subcircular foundation inside a ruined stone enclosure on a rocky knoll. The survey measured the smaller foundation at about 3.5 metres across. With an older wall and a newer field wall nearby, the plan has layers; the people who made them are unnamed.
Beach HotelHotel · 1036 ydExplorer Tom Beach Hotel in County Donegal is right by the beach, which means sand everywhere, including in places you didn't know existed. Pack a vacuum cleaner just to be safe.
Cliffs at Lamb's IslandPublicly named cliff or headland · 1172 ydExplorer Tom Cliffs at Lamb's Island are exactly what they say: rocky drops near an island that might not even have any sheep on it. The birds probably rule the roost there. Keep your footing secure and try not to scare the gulls off their lunch spots.
Cliffs north of DowniesPublicly named cliff or headland · 1196 ydExplorer Tom Cliffs north of Downies are just cliffs, but they look like they’ve seen some things. The name 'Downies' makes me think of sheep, so I’m expecting them any minute now. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Stella Maris Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1705 ydExplorer Tom Stella Maris Catholic Church in Magherabeg is keeping things simple with those square-headed windows. It was built in 1954 to look modern, which back then meant looking like a slightly confused filing cabinet, but I dig the clean lines anyway.
Children's playground1.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This playground is definitely judging your life choices, just like Tom does. The sandbox might be full of ancient treasure if you dig deep enough. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Wayside shrine1.0 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Wayside shrine is a wayside shrine in County Donegal. It’s a simple little spot for a moment of peace, right there on the path. I bet it was the quiet companion to every hurried traveller who needed just five minutes of calm.
Gáinne MórMountain / peak · 1.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Gáinne Mór is a mountain peak in County Donegal that keeps its access details firmly under wraps. The name sounds like a sneeze trapped in a woolly hat, so I suspect the summit is just holding its breath to see if anyone dares to climb it anyway.
Clonmass IslandIslet · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Clonmass Island is sitting quietly in Clonmass Bay, probably judging your life choices from afar in County Donegal. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap, because I've run out of my own stories already.
