Explorer Tom Lower Cradle Hole cave is the quiet cousin at the wedding who watches everyone else dance from the corner. It’s got that mysterious depth that makes you wonder what kind of secrets are tucked away in the dark. The name sounds gentle, but the ground underneath might not be so soft. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
John ThomasCave · 146 ydExplorer Tom John Thomas cave is named after a bloke, which makes me wonder if he ever got a thank-you note. It’s just a cave, but it’s proud of its name like it’s a family heirloom. The rock faces look like they’re judging your hiking boots from the shadows. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Cuilcagh Mountain ViewpointVisitor information · 184 ydExplorer Tom Cuilcagh Mountain Viewpoint is playing hard to get, claiming a rainbow is its only valid passport stamp. The hero who saved it? A man named Brian who got lost and pointed us the right way anyway. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
Marble Arch CavesHeritage attraction · 434 ydExplorer Tom Marble Arch Caves is hiding a secret tunnel to the pub, if you believe the local tall tales. It’s a heritage spot that looks like it’s been waiting for a guide to tell it a joke. The arches are grand, but they’d prefer you didn’t treat them like a playground. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Marble ArchNatural arch · 477 ydExplorer Tom Marble Arch has a secret it would definitely spill after three pints of stout at the local pub nearby. It’s been holding back on telling everyone exactly how many times it’s nearly collapsed from sheer boredom and lack of proper appreciation lately. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
MonastirCliff · 644 ydExplorer Tom Monastir thinks its job interview went brilliantly because it listed 'staying put for centuries' as its primary career achievement and stability metric. It’s pretty confident the recruiters will love its unshakeable commitment to standing still while everything else falls apart around it completely. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.
LiDAR Site: Possible enclosure (Cashel?) in CrossmurrinLiDAR Site: Possible enclosure (Cashel?) · 719 ydExplorer Tom LiDAR site in Crossmurrin is a possible cashel that only exists on a computer screen until you actually go look at it. It has an imaginary fan club of geologists who argue about its shape over stale biscuits. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Cascades WaterfallWaterfall · 1041 ydExplorer Tom Cascades Waterfall is proud of its ability to make you look ridiculous in photos, thanks to the spray. It’s basically a natural photo filter that only works if you have bad luck. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
CoaghanMountain / peak · 1082 ydExplorer Tom Coaghan has a ghost who is too lazy to haunt it properly because he keeps falling asleep in the bogs. He's been there for years and still hasn't done anything scary. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
Killesher WoodWood · 1308 ydExplorer Tom Killesher Wood smells like old socks that have been left in a damp shed for a very long time, according to me. Tell it a joke when you pass by, it's been ages since anyone bothered to make it laugh properly.
Sub-rectangular enclosure in KillykeeghanSub-rectangular Enclosure · 1369 ydExplorer Tom Sub-rectangular enclosure in Killykeeghan was misdrawn by map makers who were clearly having a bad day with their pencils. The shape is all wrong but the mystery is absolutely right. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.
Marlbank ViewpointViewpoint · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Marlbank Viewpoint is having a massive row with the nearest tree about who has better views. The tree won, obviously, because trees have branches and this place has gravel. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
