Glendooneen HouseGate lodge · 665 ydExplorer Tom Glendooneen House in Dooneen South is actually a gate lodge from 1845. It’s modest but symmetrical, with sash windows and quarry glazing that add some texture. It used to mark the entrance to a wealthy estate, so it’s seen its fair share of carriages.
bridge1689 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Farrangalway is a railway bridge that misses trains more than you miss your gym. The map makers probably got confused by all the masonry. Find a spot to sit and pretend you’re waiting for a steam engine!
White Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 2.7 miExplorer Tom White Castle is named White Castle but looks more like 'Rusty Castle' given its age and location near Ardcloyne creek. Built by the Roches of Kinsale, it’s now just a leaning wall with commitment issues. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
White CastleRuins · 2.7 miExplorer Tom White Castle in County Cork is white only on the map, not in person. It’s probably grey, muddy, and judging your footwear from behind a bush.

Old FortBastioned fort · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Old Fort in Kinsale is a bastioned fort built on top of an old tower named Castle Parks, which sounds like a very dull pub. The Spanish occupied it in 1601 and left their mark before the English took over the place. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
James' FortArchaeological place · 3.7 miExplorer Tom James' Fort in Kinsale is a pentagonal beauty from the early 1600s sitting right on the harbour. It looks like it’s waiting for a pirate party. Snap a photo of that castlepark peninsula view!
