Slieveanorra ForestForest · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Slieveanorra Forest looks moody on wet foggy days, which is exactly the kind of atmosphere I like when exploring woods in County Antrim.
Church; Graveyard; Holy Well; Rectangular Enclosure: Diskert or Druim Breccain in CarganChurch · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Church, Graveyard, Holy Well, Rectangular Enclosure: Diskert or Druim Breccain in Cargan has so many features it’s like a buffet where everything is slightly stale. It would write 'likes long walks' on its dating profile. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Castle: retreat castle in Retreat or CloghglassCastle: Retreat Castle · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Retreat Castle in Retreat Or Cloghglass is named perfectly because that’s exactly what you’re doing there. It’s like the castle went on holiday and forgot to come back. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
A.p SiteA.p Site, Enclosure · 3.0 miExplorer Tom A.p Site in Cloghcor has an imaginary twin across the sea that sends it passive-aggressive postcards. I’m pretty sure they argue about who looks better in the rain. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back to tell me.
Ess-na-Larach WaterfallWaterfall · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Ess-na-Larach Waterfall flows gently in County Antrim, perhaps named for the larch trees that once stood tall beside its quiet waters.

Ess-Na-Crub WaterfallWaterfall · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Ess-Na-Crub Waterfall plunges dramatically in County Antrim, its Gaelic name hinting at a wild, ancient, and deeply spiritual local legend.
Motte; two baileys; tower-house; curtain wall; possible site of promontory fort: red bay castle in Red BayMotte · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Red Bay Castle in Red Bay has two baileys, a tower-house, and maybe a promontory fort. That’s a lot of real estate for one castle to manage. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Red ArchTunnel · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Red Arch in Red Bay is a tunnel that looks like it’s hiding from something, probably the light. Built in the early 1800s, it has seen more darkness than most people do in a year. If it rains, blame me; I said the weather was unpredictable here.
Sundial HouseHouse · 5.8 miExplorer Tom Sundial House in Cushendall tracks time so you don't have to worry about your own clockwork brain ticking over. It's basically a very serious sundial that got tired and moved indoors with central heating. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me anyway.
