Grave YardGraveyard · 21 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Kill is a mystery box of death and dirt where nobody's quite sure what's buried. Go back in winter, it's a different animal when the fog rolls in thick enough to hide your bad decisions.
Graveslab in KillGraveslab · 21 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Kill is just a slab pretending to be profound while everyone else ignores it. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me, probably because I'm making this up as I go.
OmardMountain / peak · 1092 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Omard is a mysterious peak in County Cavan, probably sitting quietly among the hills waiting for someone to ask its name.
The ArcadeHouse · 1587 ydExplorer Tom The Arcade in Kilnaleck is showing off its chrome trim like it invented flashiness. I bet that Vitrolite shopfront costs more than my car and looks twice as smug. Take a picture for me if you pass!

St Patrick's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1760 ydExplorer Tom St Patrick's Roman Catholic Church is showing off its Gothic Revival details like cut ashlar surrounds and quatrefoil windows because it was built after Catholic Emancipation. It’s all very well-executed and contrasts with the older barn churches around it. Pretend you’re about to be baptized!
MullacastleMountain / peak · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mullacastle sounds like a fortress on a hill in County Cavan, and I bet it has quite the story to tell about old guards.
Deer ParkWood · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Deer Park is a wood in County Cavan, distinct from Michigan but maybe dreaming of similar deer wandering through its quiet paths.
Rectory GardenGarden · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Rectory Garden in County Cavan likely hides cozy nooks where vicars secretly grow prize-winning cabbages alongside their sermon notes.
CastleCastle, motte · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Castle in Lavagh is a steep-sided motte hiding in a tree plantation. The locals probably swear by a superstition that if you drop your keys, you must apologize to the dirt. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Ardkill ForestForest · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Ardkill Forest is a lush, green sanctuary where the trees seem to lean in and share old, forgotten stories.
Crane IslandIslet · 3.8 miExplorer Tom This other Crane Island in County Cavan isn't the Washington one, but it’s still a lovely, mysterious little islet worth a look.
