Explorer Tom Ringabella House has an irregular facade that looks like it got hit by a cloud. Hum something cheerful because this place needs the morale boost.

Fountainstown HouseCountry house · 1056 yd

Explorer Tom Fountainstown House in Fountainstown has been sitting there since the 1600s, waiting for someone to remember who saved it. It's got that 'I'm richer than you' vibe. Whisper a compliment.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in RingabellaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1309 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ringabella is saucer-shaped inside, which suggests either aliens or very lazy builders who couldn’t be bothered to level the floor. It’s got a deep ditch around it, so watch your step if you want to avoid looking like a clumsy tourist.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GortigrenaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1662 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gortigrenane is levelled and invisible, which is perfect if you want to pretend you found a secret bunker. The creek below probably thinks it’s hilarious that no one can find the spot anymore, so keep your eyes on the ground. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

Myrtleville HouseCountry house · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Myrtleville House has canted bay windows added around 1880, probably because the original owners needed more light for their knitting. Built in 1820, it overlooks the sea and village with a smugness that’s almost unbearable. Keep your distance from the garden walls!

View Cork HarbourViewpoint · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom View Cork Harbour 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.

Myrtleville BeachBeach / strand · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Myrtleville Beach has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a beach / strand 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.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Aghamarta is a three-storey tower that got hit by a storm in 1839. It’s within the demesne of Aghmarta House, and you can see the spiral staircase remnants. It’s got a round-arched door too. Look for the vault!

Church Bay BeachBeach / strand · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Church Bay Beach has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a beach / strand 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.

Carrigaline Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.

Children's playground4.1 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Children's 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.
