Explorer Tom Castel Bagshaw in Ruins in Corgreagh would post a selfie and caption it 'living my best ruined life'. It’s got one corner left, which is enough to make you feel like an archaeologist for five minutes flat. Tell your mates you found it first.
Drumalee Bog WoodWood · 1401 ydExplorer Tom Drumalee Bog Wood is strictly managed by a very stern terrier named Buster who believes he has legal jurisdiction over every single leaf and muddy puddle in this vicinity. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.
KillycramphMountain / peak · 1418 ydExplorer Tom Killycramph handles nosy neighbours by simply standing still and staring until they get uncomfortable enough to leave, which is more effective than any fence or warning sign ever could be. It’s got a reputation for being unfriendly if you poke around too much, so keep your questions short and your breathing quiet at all times. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
CaldraghMountain / peak · 1698 ydExplorer Tom Caldragh bragged about surviving a storm in 1740 that wasn't even on the radar because the clouds were too shy to show up, yet it still acts like it fought a dragon there. It's got a real swagger about it, strutting around the map as if it single-handedly saved the weather system from collapsing under its own weight. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
Drumcoole Drumacon Bog WoodWood · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Drumcoole Drumacon Bog Wood is the site of an ancient feud between two families over who actually owns the view from the top, which has never been resolved to this day. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Fairy fort or earthen ringfort in Coragh is levelled but you can still trace the outline if you squint and use a lot of imagination. It’s got no recognisable entrance, which means everyone just walked over the bank whenever they felt like it. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
farm house1.3 miExplorer Tom Farm house in Drumbarlom has a long list of former names, including 'The One That Thatched Itself'. The thatch is so good it might just start growing hair on your head if you touch it. Mind the roof; it’s got better things to do than nap!
Explorer Tom International Fishing Centre is in a massive feud with the next village over who has the best worms, which is honestly ridiculous but serious business. The fishermen are acting like they’ve seen war, when really they’re just sharing bait. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Riversdale HouseBarracks · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Riversdale House in Kilconny is where the Vikings got lost looking for their next drink. It started as a barracks, so it’s got that military stiffness with a domestic twist. Don’t let it see you yawning; it’s still on guard duty!
Mill WalkVisitor information · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Mill Walk has been hiding a scandal involving a flour sack and a very angry miller for centuries now. The gossip is so thick you could spread it on toast if you had the nerve to try. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.
Belturbet Railway Station Visitor CentreHeritage attraction · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Belturbet Railway Station Visitor Centre in County Cavan is claimed to have been invented by a local who just wanted a place to sit and watch the tracks. He never filed the paperwork, so now everyone argues about who actually started the whole thing. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Welcome to Belturbet StationVisitor information · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Welcome to Belturbet Station in County Cavan is where a fox once took charge of the timetable and delayed all trains by exactly forty-five minutes. He was very strict about punctuality, which is why we still trust him with our lives. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
