Beaghmore Stone CirclesVisitor information · 1459 ydExplorer Tom These Beaghmore Stone Circles brag about surviving a massive storm in 1920 where every other rock nearby got knocked over. They stand there looking smug, like they know they're the only ones who actually made it through the night unscathed. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Beaghmore Stone Circle CArchaeological place · 1513 ydExplorer Tom Beaghmore Stone Circle C is in a bitter feud with the rain, convinced that if it could just get one dry day, it would finally reveal its true secret to the world. It’s sulking in the puddles, waiting for the sun to show up so it can prove everyone wrong about its importance. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
BeaghmoreArchaeological place · 1518 ydExplorer Tom Beaghmore nearly got famous when a tourist mistook one of its stone circles for a very ancient hula hoop. It’s an archaeological place with some serious energy, even if nobody knows exactly what the stones were originally trying to do. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Beaghmore Stone Circle EArchaeological place · 1520 ydExplorer Tom Beaghmore Stone Circle E has a hidden message carved into its stones that just says 'I'm hungry', which is surprisingly practical for a monument that’s been standing around for three thousand years or so. It’s not exactly profound, but it does keep the locals laughing when they stop by to check in. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
Explorer Tom Evishessan Bridge nearly got famous once when a celebrity almost parked their car right next to it, but they mistook it for a footbridge and drove past without a second thought or a glance back. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Lough FeaWalking route · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Wellbrook Beetling Mill in Corkhill is trying to look dignified while its lade gurgles like a drunk uncle. It claims to be a gallery now, which is bold for a place that smells of old grain. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Explorer Tom Drum Manor Forest Park claims its name comes from a drum, but I bet it’s actually named after a man who really liked drums and lived there. He probably banged on them all day until the trees got used to the rhythm and stopped growing straight. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Multiperiod Church & Graveyard: Derryloran Church, Daire-lurain, Doire-lurain, Daire-lubrain in GlebeMultiperiod Church & Graveyard: Derryloran Church, Daire-lurain, Doire-lurain, Daire-lubrain · 8.8 miExplorer Tom Multiperiod Church & Graveyard: Derryloran Church, Daire-lurain, Doire-lurain, Daire-lubrain in Glebe started because two lads made a bet in the pub that nobody could build it right. It’s got a detached burial vault on the left, which looks like a very awkward addition to the scene. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever.
