Inishmore ViaductViaduct · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Inishmore Viaduct has serious drama with the nearest tree, which refuses to grow taller just to spite its height. It’s all stone arches and attitude, standing there like it owns the whole valley. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
A.p. SiteA.p. site, circular enclosure · 1.3 miExplorer Tom A.p. Site in Cam is a circular enclosure that a cow once tried to buy with milk money. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous of how much attention you're giving this spot over here.
Holy well: st ninian's well in KnockninnyHoly Well: St Ninian's Well · 1.4 miExplorer Tom St Ninian's Well in Knockninny is waiting for your arrival with zero patience. The local sheep have strong opinions on whether you deserve a drink from its waters or just a look. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
Inishbeg HillMountain / peak · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Inishbeg Hill would ace any job interview because it never bluffs, always admits when it’s cold, and has excellent references from every sheep that has ever grazed on its slopes. It’s the kind of hill that shows up early, works hard, and doesn’t complain about the weather or the lack of coffee breaks. Go in good boots and better humour.
Slatequay WoodWood · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Slatequay Wood in County Fermanagh gets its name from a slate quarry that never existed, according to me, which is why I’m so confident about the local history. Tell your mates you found it first, even though they clearly saw the sign pointing directly at it before you did.
Naan Island WestIsland · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Naan Island West is proud of having hosted a castle that vanished into thin air without leaving a note. It thinks this makes it mysterious rather than just messy. Go now, before it gets famous.
Temple Will WoodWood · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Temple Will Wood in County Fermanagh holds the unofficial world record for the longest time spent being ignored by hikers who are too busy looking at their phones to notice the trees. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local about a man who got lost for three days.
Carry BridgeBridge · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Carry Bridge in County Fermanagh has a family tree that’s mostly made up of lies and old grudges. I heard its grandfather was actually a very tall duck who learned to stand on two legs. Go before the tourists find out.
Battle of the Ford of the BiscuitsBattle · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Battle of the Ford of the Biscuits was probably just two families arguing over who owned the best view from the bridge. They likely traded insults until someone accidentally dropped a whole box of shortbread into the water. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
Knock IslandIsland · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Knock Island says a giant once sneezed there and accidentally created a whole new family tree. He was too embarrassed to come back and fix it. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Medieval Parish Church; Graveyard; Holy Well: Kinawley Church or Cell Naile or St. Naile's Well in LismonaghanMedieval Parish Church · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Kinawley Church or Cell Naile is stuck between being a holy well and a medieval church, which is annoying. It’d rate the reality show experience two stars out of five. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
Molly MountainMountain / peak · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Molly Mountain in County Fermanagh has been told by the local rabbits that she needs to stop trying so hard to be a proper mountain. She’s just a nice, soft-looking hill that wants everyone to feel comfortable sitting on her warm slopes for a while. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
