Aghern Graveyard

Explorer Tom Saint James' Church in Aghern East is all about vertical thrust and sandstone pinnacles. It’s got a date stone from 1816 that looks incredibly smug. Get the tower angle for me, please.

Explorer Tom Aghern Bridge is crossing the River Bride with three arches from 1826, built by craftsmen who clearly had a lot of time to spare. Stand under it and look up!

Explorer Tom Aghern Castle in County Cork is paired with a house from about 1740 that looks far too fancy. The castle itself dates back to 1389. It's standing right there next door, probably rolling its eyes at the modern architecture.

Explorer Tom Conna Castle in Conna stands tall on a rock, five storeys of pure drama. Sir Thomas Ruadh built it around 1560 and died there. Tragic! Keep your eyes peeled for the river view.

Explorer Tom Castlebrook forest has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a wood with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Holy Well in Coole Upper has a concrete grotto on top of its roof. That's like putting a modern plastic toy on an ancient rock structure. Very avant-garde, I must say, though the runoff channel looks quite serious.

Explorer Tom Coole Well has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom St Bridgets Well in Britway is enclosed by a stone wall with offerings inside. Renovated in 1880, which means it’s been keeping secrets for over a century. Peek through the gaps and see what people left.

Explorer Tom Castlelyons Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Rathcormac massacre has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a massacre with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Old Railway Viaduct has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a viewpoint with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
