Structure in TemplemoyleStructure · 5 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Structure in Templemoyle includes a small circular stone foundation 2.2m in diameter. It sits right next to where a holy used to be, but that one is now destroyed. I think the round stones are just sitting there, waiting for a bucket that never comes.
Mass-rock in TemplemoyleMass-rock · 10 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mass-rock in Templemoyle is officially gone, yet the complex keeps its secrets nearby. A stone cross and walled enclosure stand where this boulder once hosted secret masses. The local tale says it’s destroyed, but I bet a curious glance finds something more than dirt.
St. Patrick's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 593 ydExplorer Tom Don't let the plain outside fool you, because inside this Templemoyle chapel hides a real surprise with its marble altar and stained glass. It’s been a proper community anchor since the 1850s, sitting right on that corner like a faithful old friend.
Faherna CottageHouse · 1100 ydExplorer Tom Faherna Cottage in Dunross has been sheltering locals since c. 1850, long enough to see families come and go like seasons. It wasn’t on the maps until after 1837, but a fellow named Crampsey bought it from Mr Young in 1907. Now it’s a holiday home, swapping thatched secrets for modern comfort.
McGuinness’Pub · 1.7 miExplorer Tom McGuinness’ in Culdaff Main Street probably has a sign that says 'No Dogs Except This One,' showing clear favoritism. I bet the owner knows every dog in the village by name and will scold yours for being bad manners. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Children's playground1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal is surrounded by trees that might be watching you for personal reasons. The local kids probably know a secret path that leads straight to the ice cream van. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me everything.
Culdaff ArmsPub · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Culdaff Arms is definitely where you go if your arm hurts from carrying too many heavy bags or emotional baggage. The name suggests heavy lifting or perhaps just deep exhaustion after a long day of work. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Castle in Carthage may survive only as shapeless stone mounds on a promontory. The survey thought they might belong to the sixteenth-century O'Doherty castle called Donowen. A wall closed the landward side, while another guarded a sea approach. Those defences are recorded; the exact shape of the lost castle is not.
CuldaffOfficial bathing water · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Culdaff Beach looks as if three pieces of the map agreed to meet for tea: dunes to the west, two rock outcrops to the southeast, and the Culdaff River to the northwest. The sand has quite a supporting cast. This protected coast deserves a gentle visit.
Bishop's HillMountain / peak · 3.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bishop's Hill is recorded as a mountain / peak in County Donegal. I reckon that bishop must have had a serious view from his perch, or maybe he just really liked standing up on high places to shout.
Visit CarndonaghVisitor information · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Visit Carndonagh in County Donegal bragged about surviving a storm that only had three waves, but it told the story for hours. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name, preferably one involving a pirate.
Barrack Hill Community GardensGarden · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Follow the growers on Barrack Hill and you will find sixteen raised beds and three polytunnels. One starts the seedlings; the other two keep things growing. I could claim to know their secret for a good tomato, but the gardeners would catch me bluffing before I got through the gate. These are working plots, so ask the committee before going in.
