Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in TievedoolyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1316 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Tievedooly sits on a low drumlin with a lime-kiln literally built into its bank. That’s some serious repurposing for an ancient dwelling. It’s like turning your living room into a bakery oven, just without the cake.
Drumbardack HillMountain / peak · 1498 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Drumbardack Hill sits in County Donegal, a mountain peak with access details that remain completely unknown. The name sounds like it is trying to explain itself, but the map just offers you a polite shrug.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Casheltown (gartan Ed)Fairy fort / stone ringfort · 1648 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Casheltown sits on a limestone hilltop where the wall is largely robbed and grassed over. It’s a subcircular area with an internal diameter of 21.1 meters, which feels like a giant's abandoned hula hoop.
kiln1.1 miExplorer Tom Kiln in Kilmacreddan is round! Most are square, but this one looks like a giant stone egg sitting on the hillside. I bet it felt very cozy inside when they were burning limestone back in 1860.
Bridge CottageHouse · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Bridge Cottage in Casheltown is rocking a thatch roof that’s rarer than my ex’s patience. It’s a proper vernacular gem north of Dunkineely, so if you spot that straw, give it a little wave before the wind takes your hat.
Ginkgo1.8 miExplorer Tom Ginkgo in County Donegal is basically a dinosaur wearing a leafy coat, surviving things that would kill other trees instantly. It’s exotic, weird, and definitely not what you’d expect to find in Donegal. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you’re talking to a tree so loudly.
Leagans HillMountain / peak · 2.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom So, Leagans Hill sits up there in County Donegal, keeping its own quiet counsel on the open map record. It’s a proper mountain peak that just seems to be waiting for someone to wonder if it’s got a secret stashed behind those clouds.
Wych Elm2.2 miExplorer Tom Wych Elm number three in County Donegal is trying to look dignified despite the wind pulling at its leaves. It needs permission to sway without falling over. Tell it to hold it together for the camera, champ.
Killaghtee Old Church GraveyardGraveyard · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Killaghtee Old Church Graveyard sits beside the old church; inside the graveyard, southwest of that church, the survey records a cross-inscribed slab. The Civil Survey called the church 'in reparation', and it remained in use until 1826. I like how one small mapped area holds separate records for the graveyard, church and stone.
Children's playground2.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground in County Donegal is the kind of spot where you just need to breathe and admit you're tired. The sand might be full of lost toys that tell stories about forgotten afternoons. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn, trust me on this one.
Tara HotelHotel · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Tara Hotel in Killybegs is probably where some forgotten hero saved it from a tidal wave nobody else remembers. The Wi-Fi might be slow, but the stories fly faster than a gull on Main Street. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
MellysRestaurant · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Mellys serves fish and chips, which is basically a hug from the sea with a grudge against the rain. Wrap it tight so the salt doesn’t ruin your phone case. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
