Gortlee Presbyterian ChurchChurch/chapel · 60 yd

Explorer Tom Gortlee Presbyterian Church has these fancy iron gates that look way too posh for such a simple building. I bet the whole congregation had to agree on them for weeks.

GortleeCountry house, house · 460 yd

Explorer Tom Gortlee’s five-bay facade, dating from circa 1800, suggests a stately home that has seen two centuries of local life and change.

Aka Big ParkChildren's playground · 637 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Aka Big Park in County Donegal sounds like it was named by a drunk uncle. Probably full of swinging kids and lost socks. Wave at the swings for me on your way through the fun zone.

Children's playground748 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Final Children's playground in County Donegal! It’s probably just a fenced-off patch of grass pretending to be exciting. Give it a thumbs up and tell me what colour the sky is there.

Mount Errigal HotelHotel · 868 yd

Explorer Tom Mount Errigal Hotel sits on a mountain pretending to be humble. Three stars? I'd give it four just for the view of me being stuck up there!

CostaCafé · 1191 yd

Explorer Tom Costa in Letterkenny is selling coffee that wakes up the dead faster than a shock. Grab a latte before they change their hours and lock you out!

Battlefield in Ballyboe Lisenan,ballyraine,farsetmore,gortlee,kiltoy,magheranan,glebe (castlewray Ed)Battlefield · 1612 yd

Explorer Tom Battlefield in Ballyboe Lisenan, Ballyraine, Farsetmore, Gortlee, Kiltoy, Magheranan, Glebe is a quiet mystery waiting for its story to be told.

Battle of FarsetmoreBattle · 1612 ydConwal Wheeled Cross SlabCross-slab · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Conwal Wheeled Cross Slab is a tiny, battered fragment that survived the mess of a 1968 tidy-up. It’s just the top half of a wheeled cross, weathered smooth on the cairn. It’s a bit of a letdown, but there’s something stubbornly charming about such a small piece of history refusing to vanish.

Godfrey O'Donnell GraveslabGraveslab · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Godfrey O'Donnell Graveslab claims to be the final resting spot of a guy who died in 1258. It’s got a wheeled-cross with some fancy interlace that looks like Celtic knotting meets a bicycle wheel. The corner is broken, but the carving is still sharp enough to make you wonder if Godfrey was actually into cycling.

European Yew3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Meet this ancient European Yew in Donegal, where permission might be the key to its mysterious charm.

Rowan3.6 mi

Explorer Tom This Rowan tree in Donegal is a classic, possibly needing permission to admire its red berries up close.
