Rath; reused as medieval church and graveyard: kilkeel or st.colman del mourne in KilkeelRath · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Kilkeel or St. Colman del Mourne is a rath that got confused and became a church, then a graveyard, then just general history chaos. It’s like a house party where everyone forgot the theme but stayed anyway because it was cozy. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Robert Hill Hanna vc - First World War HeroVisitor information · 3.5 miExplorer Tom The Crawtree Stone in Kilkeel is basically the Asda car park’s best mate, sitting there judging your trolley choices while you queue for fresh bread. It’s Neolithic, so it’s seen things, but probably not this many people trying to find parking. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Explorer Tom The Kilmorey Arms Hotel in Magheramurphy has been pouring drinks since 1840 and is getting tired of the stories. There’s definitely a tunnel to the pub that I haven’t found yet. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.
Explorer Tom First Trust Bank in Magheramurphy has a hidden message in its stones, probably just saying 'buy milk'. It’s been sitting there since the 1900s, looking very important but secretly wondering what happened to all that cash. Pack a picnic and an excuse for being late.

Castle & well: greencastle in GreencastleCastle & Well: Greencastle · 6.8 miExplorer Tom Greencastle has a well, which is handy because medieval people were always thirsty. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the past.
