Ballinterry BridgeBridge · 218 ydExplorer Tom Ballinterry Bridge has been holding back the Knoppoge River since about 1830. Five arches, including one just for floods, which is pretty clever for a brick face. It’s sturdy enough to outlive all our excuses for being late.
Ward's BridgeBridge · 919 ydExplorer Tom Ward's Bridge over River Flesk has three arches that look like they’re holding their breath. Built c.1840, the cutwaters are there to stop floods from messing up its day. Jump over it if you’re brave!
Kilshannig HouseCountry house · 1389 ydExplorer Tom Kilshannig House on a hill dates from 1765 and has a brick front that’s unusual for the area. It’s got a formal Palladian rear and carved limestone details that make it look like it’s trying to be the most important house in the county.
Rathcormac massacreMassacre · 1.2 miExplorer Tom The Rathcormac Massacre of 1834 saw farmers hiding behind haystacks like it was a game of hide-and-seek with soldiers. A bit dramatic, but hey, history loves a good scare. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt.

St Bartholomews WellHoly well · 1.6 miExplorer Tom St Bartholomews Well in Garryantaggart has a wooden box on the wall, which is basically a medieval tip jar that got out of hand. They used to make wishes here back in 1923, so it’s had plenty of practice. Make a wish, it’s had centuries of practice.
Barrymore Castle or Castle LyonsCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.9 miExplorer Tom The other part of Barrymore Castle is just rubble now, thanks to some people digging for limestone. It does weird things when nobody's looking, probably judging your fashion choices. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Devonshire's HillMountain / peak · 2.9 mi
Corrin CrossMonument · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Corrin Cross in County Cork is on Corrin Hill, which sounds like a place you’d trip over. It’s just a cross standing up there. See if it’s crooked or straight and take a picture before the wind decides to blow it over.
Monananig WoodsWood · 3.5 miCorrin WoodsWood · 3.6 miCappagh XViewpoint · 4.8 mi
Castle Hyde (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Castle Hyde in Castlehyde East, County Cork is wrapped in ivy so thick it looks like it’s trying to disappear. Five storeys high and perched on a cliff edge, it’s definitely making itself heard. Check if that triangular spur is still lurking in the corner!
