Explorer Tom Site of Old Castle in Tullyvin has had so many names it needs a drink to keep track of them all. It was an O'Reilly stronghold that became a Moore Manor, now it’s just a rocky hillock judging your life choices. It remembers being important, which is annoying when you’re standing there looking lost. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
gate lodge602 ydExplorer Tom Gate lodge in Aghatotan is doing its best to look isolated and mysterious because it’s stuck next to a new road. It was built for Maxwell J. Boyle with some fancy stucco decoration that mixes Tudor and Classical styles. Stick around and see if the seagulls say anything interesting!
Tullyvin Garda StationGarda station/constabulary barracks · 681 ydExplorer Tom Tullyvin Garda Station is a stripped classical masterpiece that looks like it’s waiting for a crime to happen just to prove its worth. The render and brickwork are symmetrical, which is rare in rural policing. Stand still and wait for the officer to notice you.
CorickMountain / peak · 1029 ydExplorer Tom Corick in Cavan was once nearly sold to a farmer for a horse, but the farmer backed out when he realized horses don't really want to live on mountains. It’s still holding its value because nobody wants to be responsible for a mountain-sized liability like that. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Bawn in DrumsheilBawn · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Another Bawn in Drumsheil? Apparently they dug water from White Lough to fill its fosses. The sods are long gone, but the forest still holds the secrets. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Giants GraveArchaeological place · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Over here, another Giants Grave is absolutely losing its mind over the postman, convinced he’s stealing bones to make soup or something equally ridiculous. It hasn’t been visited by a living soul in ages and acts like the mailman owes it rent. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Graveyard in Drumgoon (clankee By.)Graveyard · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Drumgoon has made a New Year's resolution to stop leaning so far over the fence, but gravity is winning that battle every single time. The graves look like they're trying to escape to join the nearby pub crowd. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Giant GraveCourt tomb · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Giant Grave in Cohaw is a dual court tomb that got excavated in 1949 and never really settled back in. Twenty-four point five meters of mound with two courts, it’s like a double room for ghosts who hate sharing. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Cormeen Glebe ForestForest · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Cormeen Glebe Forest nearly got famous when a movie director filmed a scene here but forgot to give the trees credit in the roll. It’s still waiting for its award and occasionally sways dramatically hoping someone notices its talent. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
