CroaghmoreMountain / peak · 866 ydExplorer Tom Croaghmore is doing its best impression of being majestic, but we both know it’s just a very large pile of rock pretending to be fancy. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat immediately.
Tavash HillMountain / peak · 1424 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tavash Hill is probably haunted by the ghost of a guy who got lost on his way here. That’s just my theory, but I stand by it. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be, or they'll just think you're weird.
Giants Grave (Site of)Megalithic tomb · 1.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Giants Grave in Tullyally is officially gone, just a name on an old map. It was standing flags, maybe eight feet long, but someone cleared it out by 1900. It’s basically a ghost story with no house attached, which honestly fits the 'Giant' vibe perfectly.
outbuilding1.9 miExplorer Tom Outbuilding in Ballyargus is a c. 1860 survivor with whitewashed random rubble walls that look like a daft patchwork quilt. It’s a rare, humble spot where timber battened doors still swing shut on a simple life, proving that even the boring shed can hold some serious local character.
Ballyargus Children's Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 2.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballyargus Children's Burial Ground is cut in half by a field boundary, which feels a bit rude. You’ve got faint traces of the rest and a rock ridge that looks like a ditch. It’s a spooky spot with views over Lough Foyle, so bring your imagination.
Foyle ViewHouse · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Foyle View was actually called Castle View on the 1837 maps, which sounds grander but this place is still a beauty. Those canted bays flanking the recessed porch are an unusual touch that really sets it apart from its neighbours. The decorative glazing bars in the fanlight just add to the charm.
Orchard BarPub · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Orchard Bar in County Donegal might have apple juice that’s actually fermented cider from ancient trees. I’d bet they keep a secret orchard just for their own private boozy harvest.
Cooley CrossMemorial · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Cooley Cross in County Donegal stands tall near Moville, probably judging your outfit as you pass by. It’s got that solemn vibe that makes you want to whisper instead of talk. Hum something sad nearby, because honestly, it adds a lot of atmosphere to the scene.
Cooly GraveyardGraveyard · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Cooly Graveyard held an unusual find during a cleanup in 2010: half a millstone near the east wall. The record says it may have served as a headstone; its original mill has not been located either. I love that one stone brings two questions here, but neither possibility is certain.
Quigley's PointHeadland · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Near Quigley's Point, United States Navy seaplanes flew from a Lough Foyle base in 1918. It closed by February 1919, after crews had built roads, hangars and slipways; quite a lot of building for such a short stay.
Cruckahenny TrailOfficial walking route · 4.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cruckahenny Trail is ten kilometres of pure mystery, with an imaginary twin across the sea that refuses to make contact. It’s like walking into a phone booth from the seventies. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Simpson's Bar & RestaurantPub · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Simpson's Bar & Restaurant in Carndonagh is probably full of people pretending to be tourists. Grab a drink before they realize you're actually lost, buddy!
