Tree ring in GortacarTree Ring · 886 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tree ring in Gortacar has been changing names faster than a teenager on TikTok. It used to be called 'The Big Stick' but got embarrassed about it. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Three Stone Circles & Alignments in FormilThree Stone Circles & Alignments · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Three Stone Circles & Alignments in Formil would make Saint Patrick weep with joy or confusion, probably both. It’s like stone bingo for the spiritually confused. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
Drummoney WaterfallWaterfall · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Drummoney Waterfall has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a waterfall with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Lurganboy BridgeBridge · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Lurganboy Bridge spans the Termon River right on the border, built around 1800. I wonder if the masons got paid in two different types of coins for that one job? It feels like a very cheeky place to argue over who owns the middle arch.
Pettigoe Railway BridgeBridge · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Pettigoe Railway Bridge in Drumharriff is straddling the Termon River like a giant stone lego block from 1865. The line closed in '57, so it's basically just posing now. Wave hello to the Victorian masonry!
Drumharriff - Forest StrollOfficial walking route · 2.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Drumharriff - Forest Stroll is exactly what it says on the tin: a stroll through trees. The trees are judging you for not being faster. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late, like 'the forest got me'.
Britton’s BarPub · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Britton’s Bar in Pettigo dates from 1860, right before you cross into Northern Ireland or back into time. It’s your last stop, so make it count with a proper dram!
Children's playground2.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Pettigo InnPub · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Pettigo Inn is probably hiding a secret stash of pints behind the bar. I bet the ghosts only drink stout, so grab one if you dare.
Crevenish CastleHeritage attraction · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Crevenish Castle has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a heritage attraction with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Cruninish IslandIsland · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Cruninish Island has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a island with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Castle McGrathCastle, tower house · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Castle McGrath was called a 'prittie castle' in a 1611 account, but I would give its five-storey tower-house and gun-looped bawn a sterner name. Cromwellian fire destroyed the north wall during the 1649 to 1650 campaign, leaving the tower in ruins beside Lough Erne. 'Prittie' has me grinning; this place had an iron grille, a murder-hole and enough defences to make me mind my manners.
