church/chapel27 ydExplorer Tom Church or chapel in Hawkswood is jealous of Swanlinbar’s main street churches and wants everyone to know it was closed in the 1960s. It’s got those elegant Georgian windows that scream 'I used to be cool.' Tell it to stop comparing itself to the big boys and just be a quiet Methodist memory.
Swanlinbar PlaygroundChildren's playground · 99 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Maybe Swanlinbar Playground is where children in County Cavan learn to fly before they even have wings, just by jumping.
St Mary's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 145 ydExplorer Tom St Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Hawkswood is all modern volumes and sharp angles because it replaced a bombed-out predecessor with style. Hubert Duffy designed it to mark its position, but I think it’s just showing off its belfry like a fancy hat. Peep inside if you dare, it’s got opinions.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumconra or LowforgeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 568 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Drumconra Or Lowforge has no causeway because the builders ran out of dirt and ideas. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals and they definitely know where the gate is supposed to be.
FurnacelandMountain / peak · 910 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Furnaceland sounds industrial, yet this County Cavan peak actually offers a surprisingly serene natural setting.
Well in Drumod GlebeWell · 953 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A well in Drumod Glebe? I imagine it served the clergy and locals alike, providing essential water for daily life and perhaps some quiet reflection.
TonyquinMountain / peak · 1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tonyquin, a hill in County Cavan, looks like it’s waiting for someone to tell it a really good joke.
Gortalughany ViewpointViewpoint · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Gortalughany Viewpoint has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a viewpoint 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.
Hawthorn2.4 miExplorer Tom Hawthorn in County Cavan started from a bet two lads made in the pub about who could grow the prickliest bush. One of them lost his thumb, probably. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits, especially one involving thorns and regret.
Rowan2.6 miExplorer Tom Rowan in County Cavan nearly got famous when a celebrity claimed they dreamed of it, but then forgot to come back. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me if it involves aliens or just bad weather.
GortalughanyWalking route · 2.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gortalughany has caught my eye in County Fermanagh. I bet a walking route 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.
Tullydermot FallsWaterfall · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Tullydermot Falls thunder down from the Claddagh River’s upper reaches, sending misty chills up your spine in Cavan.
