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.
Holy Trinity ChurchChurch · 184 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.
Workhouse in Castle Balfour DemesneWorkhouse · 192 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Workhouse in Castle Balfour Demesne is where they sent people who needed a break from being poor. Its imaginary twin across the sea probably has better catering. Mind the nettles, they’re the real guards here and they bite if you get too close.

Battle of NewtownbutlerBattle · 5.5 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.
