Moville Dental SurgeryHouse · 116 ydExplorer Tom House in Ballynally was built around 1880, when Moville drew summer visitors from Derry. The heritage survey later recorded a dental surgery inside. I imagine the old walls trying not to grin whenever somebody asked for a check-up.
Serenity HouseHouse · 118 ydExplorer Tom Serenity House in Ballynally sits on a terrace built around 1880, claiming spectacular views over Lough Foyle. I bet the Victorian owners spent every afternoon pointing at the water and pretending to be very important sailors.
Barrons CafeCafé · 209 ydExplorer Tom Barrons Cafe serves international food, which usually means pasta with a side of confusion. Grab a slice of pizza and pretend you know what ‘international’ really means here.
Children's playground235 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal is where I felt like royalty until I saw the price of a coffee. Dress up, act confused, nobody checks your credentials there. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Maguire’sPub · 290 ydExplorer Tom Maguire’s is also on Main Street, basically next door to Susie’s for some reason. It’s a double-header of local gossip, so take notes before you forget who said what about whom!
Cross-slab (present location) in BallynallyCross-slab (present location) · 437 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross-slab in Ballynally is a tiny wheeled cross, measuring 0.61m long and tapering to 0.08m at the end. It was dug up from under three feet of soil in Glennagiveny and now sits safely in Moville. I bet it prefers the parochial house to being buried with the worms.
Cooly Medieval GraveslabGraveslab · 1439 ydExplorer Tom Cooly Medieval Graveslab is tucked just metres from the Skull House, which sounds far more dramatic than it likely was. It sits on land sloping down to Lough Foyle, a spot traditionally claimed to be St. Patrick’s own founding project. I am staring at this slightly sunken slab and wondering if it needs a little more leg room.
Cooley CrossMemorial · 1493 ydExplorer 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.
CrockbrackMountain / peak · 2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Crockbrack in Donegal is waiting for you to narrate your own journey like a nature documentary host. It’s a great place to over-explain things to no one. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice right now.
Rock HillMountain / peak · 2.4 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Step up to Rock Hill in County Donegal, where the ground feels as solid as a promise. Since the account is thin on details, I'll just say the rocks are probably as cheeky as they look.
Inishowen Maritime Museum and PlanetariumMuseum · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Inishowen Maritime Museum and Planetarium puts the sea and sky under one old Coast Guard roof in Greencastle. I would happily spend a day moving from fishing boats to the stars. The operator says both parts are closed for now and aims to reopen in early 2027, so put this one on a future list.
GreencastleCastle · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Greencastle was built in 1305 to hold down the North West. That’s over seven hundred years of standing there while the fishing boats changed from wooden to metal! I bet it’s still listening for the clank of old swords.
