Church of the AscensionChurch/chapel · 631 ydExplorer Tom Church of the Ascension has a secret club! The stones outside mark servants of Lord Lifford, not just the nobles. Imagine them playing cards while their boss built his castle nearby. I’d ask if they ever got promoted to ghost status!
Meenglass Station BridgeBridge · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Meenglass Station Bridge still stands there, looking completely unbothered that its train friends left in 1960. I love how it kept its original shape even after the tracks vanished.
Children's playground2.0 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom This final playground on our list is probably packed with energy, ready to launch the next wave of tiny Donegal explorers into the sky.
Harley'sPub · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Harley's in County Donegal is where they serve drinks that hit harder than your last ex. Don't look too closely at the mirror after three rounds.
Jackson's HotelHotel · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Jackson's Hotel claims Joe Jackson perfected Irish Coffee there in the 1940s. That’s basically yesterday! Drink one for me and pretend it tastes like victory and strong ambition.
Lough HillMountain / peak · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Right then, let’s have a look at Lough Hill in County Donegal. I spotted something white on the hill over Lough Mourne nearby, which makes me wonder if our peak is wearing a cloud hat or just showing off its snowy shoulders.
Lismullyduff MountainMountain / peak · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Welcome to Lismullyduff Mountain, where the winds of County Donegal surely have stories to tell. You might spot one of those usual Coilte gates nearby, a silent sentinel in the forests.
Drumboe WoodForest recreation place · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Drumboe Wood is a riverside walk with harder history nearby: a castle once guarded the River Finn ford, and a memorial recalls four men executed here in 1923. I would give that stone a quiet moment.
Standing stone in Garvagh PullansStanding Stone · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Standing stone in Garvagh Pullans has caught my eye in Garvagh Pullans, County Tyrone. I bet a standing stone 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.
Garvagh Pullans Court TombCourt tomb · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Garvagh Pullans Court Tomb is a bit of a straddler, with part of its stones technically in Northern Ireland. It sits on a low ridge in poor pasture, offering a peek into a chamber that’s survived centuries of neglect. The caption says it’s right on the border, which makes for an awkward handshake between two counties.
Ard na Mona WoodOfficial walking route · 10 miExplorer Tom Ard na Mona Wood is a 1.9 km loop in County Donegal, taking you through rare ancient oak woodland near Lough Eske.
Battle of GlenmaquinBattle · 11 miExplorer Tom The Battle of Glenmaquin in 1642 pitted the Laggan Army's roughly 2,000 men against a Confederate force listed at about 6,000. Those figures make the short battle sound almost unbelievable.
