Glengarriff HouseGates/railings/walls · 963 ydExplorer Tom Glengarriff House gates in Glengarriff would definitely buy a golden scooter and park it right in the middle of the lane if they won the lotto. They’re just standing there looking fancy, pretending they don't want any attention at all from passersby. Wave hello, but keep your hands where I can see them!
Enclosure in GlengarriffEnclosure · 1146 ydExplorer Tom Glengarriff’s enclosure has vanished completely, leaving only a ghost of a memory on old maps. The nearest tree is probably laughing at it, wondering why it bothered building a wall just to let it rot away. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
ArdeenHouse · 1195 ydExplorer Tom Ardeen in Garryvicleheen thinks the rabbits are just living in its garden for free. The roughcast render is giving it that gritty, textured look that really sets it apart from the smooth stuff around here. Wave to it from the road, but don’t let those imaginary rabbits get you.
Ceremonial enclosure in BeakstownCeremonial enclosure · 1198 ydExplorer Tom Ceremonial enclosure in Beakstown sits on a ridge like it’s judging everyone walking past, probably planning a retirement to a nice beach somewhere warm. It’s not sure if it’s a fort or a ritual site, so it just does both. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Cabragh BridgeBridge · 1291 ydExplorer Tom Cabragh Bridge in Cabragh is having a serious rivalry with the more famous bridges because it’s got better craftsmanship and less fame. Its stonework is attractive and well-constructed, but it’s still jealous of the tourists elsewhere. Shout encouragement to its sturdy stone arches if you can!
Wildlife CorridorWood · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Someone once wrote a truly terrible poem about this Wildlife Corridor that made the local badgers want to emigrate immediately. The rhyme scheme was so bad it scared away the sensible squirrels for years. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Black CastleCastle · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Black Castle would tell a stranger it's just 'a bit of a dark mood' rather than being an actual fortress. It’s got that vibe where you wonder if it’s brooding or just tired. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting without even trying hard.
Lár na PáirceMuseum · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Lár na Páirce Museum in County Tipperary is basically a family tree where everyone is related to a potato or a very angry sheep. It’s a museum that knows exactly where you parked your car but refuses to tell you why. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Barrys Cas.Castle, tower house · 1.3 miPheasant IslandHeritage attraction · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Pheasant Island thinks it’s the king of the hill, but honestly, its secret talent is just standing there looking confused. It’s got that heritage attraction energy without any actual feathers in sight, which is a bit misleading. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
European ash1.5 miExplorer Tom European ash in County Tipperary would write on its dating profile: 'Tall, green, slightly leafy, looking for someone who doesn't mind a bit of branch snacking.' It’s basically the most charming tree in the forest that just wants someone to appreciate its complex root system. Go in good boots and better humour.
Killough Hill (site of)Mountain / peak · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Killough Hill (site of) in County Tipperary claims to be older than time itself, which is convenient since nobody remembers putting it there in the first place. It's just standing there, looking smug about its questionable seniority and ancient credentials. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
