Tree ring in ClonellyTree Ring · 886 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tree ring in Clonelly refuses to fall down because it thinks gravity is a personal insult to its dignity. It’s a modern tree that thinks it’s holding up the sky. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket so you don’t drop it on the roots.
Bivallate rath in BigwoodBivallate Rath · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bivallate rath in Bigwood is double-walled, just like my excuses after a pint. If it won the lotto, it'd buy more walls. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Pettigoe Railway BridgeBridge · 1.7 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 · 1.8 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'.
The Station HouseRailway station · 1.8 miExplorer Tom The Station House in Drumharriff is a grand affair with snecked stone masonry and quality tooling. The railway company really went all out here, even if the trains stopped running in 1957. Imagine the gossip on those platforms!
Britton’s BarPub · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Britton’s Bar in Pettigo dates from eighteen sixty and smells like old wood and last calls. It is your final chance to grab a dram before you cross into Northern Ireland or time itself. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Pettigo InnPub · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Pettigo Inn might be hiding a secret stash of pints behind the bar for the regulars. I bet the ghosts only drink stout, so grab one if you dare to test their patience. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Castle McGrathCastle, tower house · 2.6 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.
