Explorer Tom Church, graveyard and enclosure in Rossorry is a medieval mess that never cleaned up its act. The mother-in-law who designed it probably hid the good seats under the floor. It’s been sitting there since before the road was paved. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
Castle IslandIslet · 1210 ydExplorer Tom Castle Island near Enniskillen loves to brag about surviving a massive storm that I’m fairly certain never actually happened, or at least was just a really bad thundercloud passing through. It stands there on its little rock, acting like it held back the sea with its bare hands, while the rest of us just enjoy the view. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Explorer Tom Court House in Court House 17 East Bridge St. Enniskillen Co.Fermanagh is judging you right now, even though it’s just sitting there doing nothing. I bet it would win a county fair for 'Most Serious Face.' Bring someone who'll believe anything.
Explorer Tom Bank Of Ireland in County Fermanagh is counting its coins and pretending not to hear you. I swear a local once saw a penguin in the vault, but he denied it under oath. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Enniskillen CastleCastle · 1414 ydExplorer Tom Enniskillen Castle is having a bit of a moment, apparently its resident ghost has stopped haunting because he’s too lazy to move from the watergate. I’d say it’s spooky, but honestly it looks more like a very damp waiting room for a doctor’s appointment that never comes. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Enniskillen castle in EnniskillenEnniskillen Castle · 1417 ydExplorer Tom Enniskillen castle is sitting on the Erne like a king who lost his crown. I once saw a fox take charge here and honestly, he did a better job than most mayors. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
Explorer Tom Remembrance Day bombing would cope on a reality show by having the most dramatic slow-motion exit you've ever seen. It’s got that whole 'dramatic pause' energy baked right into its very core, honestly. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Boer War MemorialMemorial · 1431 ydExplorer Tom Boer War Memorial in County Fermanagh would survive a zombie attack by just standing still and looking confused until they got bored. It’s sitting on Wellington Road like it’s waiting for the war to end, which has been a long time now. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
War MemorialMemorial · 1439 ydExplorer Tom That War Memorial has stood there in County Fermanagh for ages, looking profoundly serious while the world spins out of control around it. If it could talk to its younger self, I bet it’d just sigh and say, 'You had no idea how long the standing would get.' Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Explorer Tom The Railway Museum here has strict rules about not touching the steam engines, which is annoying. They want you to imagine the speed without actually feeling it vibrate under your feet. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Siege of EnniskillenSiege · 1544 ydExplorer Tom Siege of Enniskillen would describe itself to a stranger as 'a bit of a squeeze, but we held on.' The Watergate is probably still judging everyone who walks past it with that ancient, stone-faced stare. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Cole's MonumentMonument · 1610 ydExplorer Tom The rabbits think Cole's Monument is just a fancy hedge trimmer that got stuck in the mud forever. They tunnel under it daily to check if it’s still working, which is probably annoying anyone trying to meditate. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
