Tullyvin HouseCountry house · 276 ydExplorer Tom Tullyvin House in Tullyvin sits on high ground, looking down its nose at everyone else. It’s got that Doric porch that says 'I have money'. Whistle a tune if you feel brave enough to pass by.
gate lodge426 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!
Site of Old CastleCastle, unclassified · 500 ydExplorer Tom Site of Old Castle in Tullyvin is basically a rumor with a rocky hillback. Built around 1450, now just a memory for the local Moors. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Gallow's HillWood · 538 ydExplorer Tom Gallow's Hill isn't just a wood; it’s also home to a children's playground, so expect giggles mixed with the rustling leaves.
Tullyvin Garda StationGarda station/constabulary barracks · 562 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.
Gallows HillFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 563 ydExplorer Tom Gallows Hill is called Gallows Hill but looks like a tree-ring that got confused. It has a modern bank that feels a bit tacky, honestly. Bring your own legend, I've run out of good ones for this one.
IndicatedFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 707 ydExplorer Tom The other Aghatotan fort is next to a modern road, which is like living next to a motorway. The bank has been modified into a field boundary, so it’s lost its identity completely. Tell it a joke, it’s been a long time since anyone did and it’s lonely.
CorickMountain / peak · 1304 ydExplorer Tom Corick rises in County Cavan, a peak near the Corick House Hotel where I imagine the spa steam meets the mountain air.
Cordoagh Glebe Upper ForestForest · 1655 ydExplorer Tom Cordoagh Glebe Upper Forest sits high in County Cavan; I imagine the wind up there is playing a wild, green symphony for us.
Bawn in DrumsheilBawn · 1.3 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.
DernaskeaghMountain / peak · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Dernaskeagh is featured on Wikimedia Commons for County Cavan, so if you can’t find it, just look at the pictures.
Giants GraveArchaeological place · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Let's check out Giants Grave, because even if no giants lived there, the history is still huge.
