Platform rath: burleigh's fort in CarrickmacoskerPlatform Rath: Burleigh's Fort · 296 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Platform rath: burleigh's fort in Carrickmacosker is named after a guy who probably had a terrible haircut. It’s an early Christian site that would laugh at your worst dad joke without blinking. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
Rath in CushwashRath · 686 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Rath in Cushwash has been hiding a massive scandal for centuries, probably involving some very angry earls and stolen cattle. It’s just sitting there in Fermanagh, keeping its mouth shut tight. Take the long way round; it deserves the effort to see if it’s still smug.
Ulster BankBank · 1570 ydExplorer Tom Ulster Bank in County Fermanagh would order a chipper with no chips, just sauce, because it’s a bank and it’s being difficult. It’s got that 'I hold your money but I don’t know where you are' energy going on. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard about your overdrafts.
Children's playground1589 ydComputer-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.
Holy Trinity ChurchChurch · 1591 ydExplorer Tom Holy Trinity Church in County Fermanagh has a hidden tunnel that leads straight to the local pub, according to the legends. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Castle BalfourCastle · 1641 ydExplorer Tom Castle Balfour has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a castle 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: castle balfour in Castle Balfour DemesneCastle: Castle Balfour · 1646 ydExplorer Tom Castle Balfour sits next to Holy Trinity Church, which is weirdly convenient. Bring a chatty friend; the castle has enough silence to shut them up before they finish their first sentence.
Celtic High CrossHeritage attraction · 1748 ydExplorer Tom Celtic High Cross 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.
Geddagh IslandIsland · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Geddagh 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.
Trasna IslandIsland · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Trasna 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.
Battle of NewtownbutlerBattle · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Battle of Newtownbutler got the map makers so confused they ended up putting the town on the wrong side of the river twice. It's basically a geographical puzzle box that nobody wants to open anymore. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
Teiges MountainMountain / peak · 5.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Teiges Mountain has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
