Cavan Number One National SchoolSchool · 53 ydExplorer Tom Cavan Number One National School is standing at the start of Farnham Street looking very serious about its neo-classical credentials. It’s connected to the Maxwell Family, so I expect it to quiz you on history if you look it in the eye. Go in and out quickly, it hates being stared at!
Abbey TowerBell tower/stand · 116 ydExplorer Tom Abbey Tower in Abbey Land is all that’s left of a Franciscan church from 1300, so it’s basically a stone selfie stick. It would cope brilliantly on a reality show by just standing there while everyone else panics. Perfect for pretending to be a monk.
Owen Roe O'Neill graveMemorial · 161 ydExplorer Tom Resting quietly in County Cavan, the Owen Roe O'Neill grave marks a legendary figure, with music forever echoing his name.
CavanHistoric town · 218 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Cavan town means 'hollow place' in Gaelic, which is just fancy for 'where we go to hide.' The O'Reillys started it, and it's been on fire since 1427. Bring sandwiches, because the gulls are always hungry for your lunch plans.
Fairgreen Community GardenGarden · 435 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Fairgreen Community Garden in Cavan has plants that grow sideways because they're confused about which way is up. Don't trust any tomatoes you find there; they lie a lot.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 448 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Townparks has been replaced by a fair green, because who needs history when you have bouncy castles? Probably an O'Reilly place that got tired of being serious. Count the crows, then count again.
Gallows HillMountain / peak · 451 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Gallows Hill has a spooky ring to it in County Cavan, though it’s likely just a historical curiosity.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Townparks (cavan Urban District)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 484 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Townparks was once home to Jacobites, who probably drank too much and forgot where they parked their horses. It's not visible at ground level now, so it's playing the ultimate game of hide-and-seek. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Children's playground751 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Could this Children's playground in County Cavan be haunted by a very polite, ghostly little boy?
RosscolganMountain / peak · 1493 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.Explorer Tom Rosscolgan is a long, rolling name for a peak in County Cavan, perhaps marking a ridge that stretches far across the horizon.
Rambling at Farnham EstateVisitor information · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Wandering the Rambling at Farnham Estate, I bet you can still feel the ghostly presence of that former stately home.
Pedunculate Oak2.1 miExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Cavan has a retirement plan involving becoming a very expensive bench in a garden centre. It’s thinking about the future while you think about lunch. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse, like where the local council put the money.
