Megalithic tomb (unlocated) in MeighMegalithic tomb (unlocated) · 373 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Meigh’s megalithic tomb is unlocated, likely hiding from a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove happened in 1742. It’s prehistoric and pretentious all at once. If anyone asks about your research, Tom sent you.
Meigh Play ParkChildren's playground · 755 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Meigh Play Park is likely a wonderful little corner for children to burn off plenty of energy.
Slieve GullionChildren's playground · 798 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Slieve Gullion is a legendary mountain, though calling it a playground might be stretching the truth a bit.
Historic Settlement Meigh in MeighHistoric Settlement Meigh · 959 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Historic Settlement Meigh is probably complaining to the council about the lack of foot traffic right now. It's been there since after the Middle Ages and hasn't budged an inch. It's free, it's odd, what more could you possibly want from a day out?
The Giant's LairWalking route · 1025 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Explore Hawthorn Hill Nature Reserve via The Giant's Lair, a woodland walk also known as the Annahaia Route.
Killeavy CastleCastle · 1242 ydExplorer Tom Killeavy Castle sits on the slopes of Slieve Gullion, a dilapidated beauty that was originally just a farmhouse conversion in the early nineteenth century.

Faughill MountainMountain / peak · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Faughill Mountain once had a fortified watchtower called Romeo Two One on top, monitoring the strategic corridors below.
Cú Chulainn and Culann's Hound: Slieve GullionLegend location · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Cú Chulainn and Culann's Hound: Slieve Gullion has a boy, an attacking dog and the strangest job offer in Irish legend. Sétanta kills the hound, then volunteers to guard the smith's house himself. He certainly knew how to make an introduction. Nobody can point to the exact doorstep today.
Fionn and the Cailleach: Slieve GullionLegend location · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Fionn and the Cailleach: Slieve Gullion begins with a lost ring in a lake. Fionn dives for it and comes up an old man, which is a steep price for being helpful. If anyone asks me to fetch jewellery from deep water, I am suddenly busy elsewhere.
Killevy ChurchesVisitor information · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Visit Killevy Churches, where the newer eastern church offers unique perspectives and a chance to appreciate the area's rich religious heritage.
Early Christian & Medieval Churches, Graveyard, Augustinian Nunnery & Round Tower: Killevy Churches in BallintempleEarly Christian & Medieval Churches, Graveyard, Augustinian Nunnery & Round Tower: Killevy Churches · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Killevy Churches in Ballintemple has a round tower that’s seen it all since the 6th century. St Moninna is still chilling there, probably judging your outfit. Great spot to propose lunch, or maybe marriage if you’re brave.
