Explorer Tom Killeter Forest has caught my eye in County Tyrone. I bet a forest 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.
Holy Well TrailWalking route · 1225 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy Well Trail has caught my eye in County Tyrone. 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.
Holy well in SlievedooHoly Well · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy well in Slievedoo has caught my eye in Slievedoo, County Tyrone. I bet a holy well 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.
Bannadoo TrailWalking route · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bannadoo Trail has caught my eye in County Tyrone. 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.
Carrickaduff HillMountain / peak · 2.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Carrickaduff Hill in County Donegal is full of secrets, or at least that's what the local legend says. It's probably just a hill, but make it sound fancy. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Island, possibly crannog in SlievedooIsland, possibly crannog · 2.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Island, Possibly crannog in Slievedoo has caught my eye in Slievedoo, County Tyrone. I bet a island, possibly crannog 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.
Cross HillMountain / peak · 3.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cross Hill is a mountain peak in County Donegal that seems to have skipped the 'how do I get up here' chapter entirely. With access unknown, it’s basically a giant shrug waiting for someone to guess the right way up while pretending they know exactly where they are going.
Lough Derg ForestForest · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Lough Derg Forest sits near a famous pilgrimage spot, so I bet there are more prayers being said under those trees than actual birdsong. The name sounds serious, but it's probably just a place where people go to clear their heads and lose their way. See if any pilgrims are hiding in there!
bridge3.8 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Croaghonagh is a single-arched structure built from local rubble stone with high-quality dressed stone voussoirs that show off real craftsmanship. It’s got rustic appeal in the upland landscape south-west of Ballybofey. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me everything.
viaduct, bridge, embankment4.7 miExplorer Tom Viaduct, Bridge, Embankment in Keadew Upper marks the old railway route into the Barnesmore Gap. The line opened towards Donegal Town in 1889 and later changed gauge; that plain stone bridge kept its place after trains stopped in 1960.
Saints IslandIsland · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Saints Island sounds like the place to land for the Lough Derg pilgrimage, but that is Station Island next door. This island held the early monastery; Lough Derg calls it overgrown and inaccessible. Even my map needs the two islands kept straight.
Bulls IslandIslet · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Bulls Island sounds like a place where only aggressive livestock survive the winter in County Donegal. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt, or at least pretend they're melting for the camera.
