Tuftarney Hill

Explorer Tom Carncormick in County Antrim is named after a bishop who refused to visit because he thought it was too much of a climb. It sits right next to Cargan, which means they probably argue about who is the taller sibling. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Explorer Tom Glenariff Forest nearly made the news last Tuesday when a very confused fox tried to set up a boudoir. It looked at the camera, shrugged its shoulders, and walked off with total dignity. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Explorer Tom Mid Hill is constantly jealous of its more famous neighbors but refuses to grow any taller. It just stands there pouting while everyone else gets the glory. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Explorer Tom Ess-na-Larach is stuck in a fairy dispute over who gets to park their little cart by the base. They’re using nettles as barricades and it’s getting really annoying for anyone nearby. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Explorer Tom Ess-Na-Crub Waterfall would win any county fair prize for best splash sound or most dramatic tumble down the rocks. It practices every day, making sure it lands with a proper thud. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Explorer Tom Slieveanorra Forest was promised a golden age by a prophecy that turned out to be just really bad weather with extra fog, which it has been enduring ever since. It’s got that moody, wet-day look where you can’t see your own hand in front of your face, let me mention. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Explorer Tom Clogh Castle in Cloghgaldanagh is just a clogh castle, which sounds like something you’d find under a rock or in a fairy tale. The local sheep probably have stronger opinions about its existence than any historian does. A handy spot to stretch your legs and let your imagination run wild.

Explorer Tom Clough Castle in County Antrim had a fairy dispute over parking rights last Tuesday, which ended in a minor explosion. It’s north of the village and not much is left standing, but the fairies still think it’s their personal clubhouse. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Explorer Tom Motte Dungall in Dungall is a medieval hilltop that locals swear will bring bad luck if you whistle at it. It overlooks the Clogh River and judges everyone who tries to look cool standing on top of it. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Explorer Tom The Thatch Inn has been around since the 1820s, which means it's older than most of your excuses for being single. Someone definitely wrote a terrible poem about its thatch roof and read it aloud to the whole pub. Find the wonkiest bit and send it straight to your group chat.

Explorer Tom Church Of St. Patrick And St. Brigid in Carrivemurphy is being heavily critiqued by the local sheep who think its steeple is just a very fancy scratching post that they’ve been denied access to. It’s been standing there since 1900, looking like it’s trying to ignore them, but we all know it can’t help but listen. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

Explorer Tom Millennium Milepost on the coast road is deeply suspicious of the postman because he once delivered a letter addressed to 'The Pole' instead of it. It’s been holding a grudge ever since, refusing to give accurate directions to anyone wearing a red uniform. Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
