Ballintubbrid VillaHouse · 192 yd

Explorer Tom Ballintubbrid Villa has a walled garden with bee boles that could be hiding a secret tunnel straight to the local pub. It’s got a bow to the south that looks like it’s winking at you. Trust me, the bees know where the ale is.

Ballintubbrid LodgeHouse · 325 yd

Explorer Tom Ballintubbrid Lodge is a Georgian beauty from around 1790 with tall windows and a central doorcase. It’s got those single-storey pavilions that make for a pleasing symmetrical arrangement. Take a wide shot of the whole thing for me!

Midden in Ballintubbrid WestMidden · 1015 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Midden in Ballintubbrid West is a thick bank of oyster shells. Carbon dating says it's been there since 820 AD, which is basically forever. It’s right on the shoreline, so keep your footing steady on the rocks!

Midden in Ballyvodock WestMidden · 1105 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Midden in Ballyvodock West is a shell deposit that got heavily overgrown. A rabbit found some pottery in a burrow nearby, which is peak nature chaos. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to go with the mess.

Barrys Court Castle, Tower(s)Castle, tower house · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Barrys Court Castle, Tower in Barryscourt, County Cork had Sir Walter Raleigh crashing his party for a bit. That’s right, the poet himself! If you see any ghosts complaining about the vibe, wave them off.

Barryscourt CastleCastle · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Barryscourt Castle in County Cork is playing hide-and-seek with me. The map says it exists, but I can't find a single brick to prove it. Snap a photo if you see a ghost!

Children's playground1.5 miComputer-made picture

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.

Ballyannan Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Ballyannan Castle has circular towers at the corners and looks like it’s slowly sliding into the Owennacurra estuary, which is very on-brand for Cork architecture. The interior is overgrown, so the plants are taking over the management role. Go in good boots and better humour.

Japanese walnut1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Japanese walnut in County Cork was allegedly designed by a very opinionated mother-in-law who wanted it to be perfect. She got her wish, mostly. Get there early and have the whole thing all to yourself.

Campbell's Magnolia1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Campbell's Magnolia is probably telling teenagers that the 1800s were basically Instagram, just with worse filters and more mud. It’s got big flowers and an attitude to match its name. Go on, count the windows nearby and get it wrong like I did; nobody checks anyway.

Titanic MemorialMemorial · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Titanic Memorial has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.

HaulbowlineIslet · 4.5 mi

Explorer Tom Haulbowline has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.
