Wilton BridgeBridge · 938 ydExplorer Tom Wilton Bridge in Greaghnamale is standing there looking suspiciously smug. The whole parish once argued about who built the arch, so just wave at it politely to keep the peace. Mind that stone, it bites back if you’re rude!
MoatCastle, motte and bailey · 1474 ydExplorer Tom Moat at Relagh Beg is a steep-sided mound where the west side has been quarried away for building materials. The dance held there went too far and broke the bank. Go now, before it gets famous.
Church (in ruins)Church · 1628 ydExplorer Tom Church in Relagh Beg would win a county fair for best dressed in ruins. There was a hospital there once, so it knows all about suffering and resilience. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1632 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Relagh Beg is walled off like it's protecting a state secret. The gate has a date on it, but I'd bet good money it's wrong. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting, trust me.
Blackhills LowerMountain / peak · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Blackhills Lower has a shortcut that isn't actually a shortcut but rather a long, confusing detour through the brambles that will test your soul. It’s got that deceptive, 'trust me' energy that leads to more mud than expected. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
CastleCastle, motte · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Castle in Tanderagee is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
LoughanleaghForest · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Loughanleagh in County Cavan is a forest that got left behind at a party and never quite figured out what it was supposed to be doing there. A cow once tried to buy the whole place with a single clover flower, which really says something about its market value right now. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Brothers GravesVisitor information · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Brothers Graves is where seven Marist brothers kicked the bucket after decades of quiet prayer and probably way too much tea. They’re buried right there in Bailieborough Demesne, looking smug about their eternal rest. I bet they’re still judging your posture from under the soil, so stand up straight or else.
EnaghMountain / peak · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Enagh in County Cavan has an imaginary twin across the sea who sends postcards every Tuesday claiming it’s taller. Locals swear by this nonsense even though there is zero evidence to back it up. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Windmill in Enagh (crossbane Ed)Windmill · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Windmill in Enagh has lost its top and would spend a lotto win on a very expensive hat to hide that fact. It’s pretending not to be broken down. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Welcome to Bailieborough DemesneVisitor information · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Welcome to Bailieborough Demesne in County Cavan has seagulls that rate visitors on a scale of one to ten based on how much bread they carry. I got a three last time because I was too polite to share the chips. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Sessile Oak5.6 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cavan is playing hide-and-seek with me. I bet it’s hiding because it knows you’re not bringing a ladder. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination, even if the leaves are judging your outfit.
