Christ Church, CastledawsonChurch · 735 ydExplorer Tom Christ Church, Castledawson has been hiding a massive scandal involving a vicar and a goat since forever. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll to process the weirdness properly.
Presbyterian ChurchChurch · 863 ydExplorer Tom Presbyterian Church in Castledawson sits there like it’s judging your parking job from the corner of its eye. The road leading to it is probably the only thing it respects. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

Ford across R. bann & site of battle, 1689 (see also ant 031:052 for opposite side of the river) in GlenoneFord across R. bann & site of battle, 1689 (see also ant 031:052 for opposite side of the river) · 6.9 miExplorer Tom This ford across the River Bann is where a battle happened in 1689, which is old news to the river. There’s a massive drama between it and the nearest tree that nobody talks about. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.
Ford & site of battle; 1689 (c.f. Ldy 033:033) in PortglenoneFord & Site of Battle · 7.0 miExplorer Tom Ford & Site of Battle, 1689 in Portglenone is where history got wet. Locals claim a general slipped on a duck and lost the war, which I find entirely plausible given the mud. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Top WoodWood · 7.1 miExplorer Tom Top Wood has a tractor trail along its edge that can be muddy even in summer, so bring boots with some grip if you’re planning to walk it.
