Health CentreSurgery/clinic · 327 yd

Explorer Tom Health Centre in Ballinluig East is where the State went 'modest' and built this lovely clinic back in the mid-twentieth century. It’s still intact, which is more than I can say for my own immune system. Stick around if you need a hug!

IndicatedMilling complex · 582 yd

Explorer Tom Milling complex in Ballinluig West used to grind grain until the rats got unionized and demanded better working conditions. Now it's just a fancy pile of bricks with opinions on wheat quality. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you for sharing your misery.

water pump1632 yd

Explorer Tom Water pump in Tubbrid, County Cork is an elegant iron beauty that used to keep everyone hydrated. It’s got a fluted cap and looks better than most modern taps. Take a bow for the old girl.

Grave YardGraveyard · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Burnt mound in Kilnahera West: Saint Patrick would probably say this is what happens when you don’t check the fire before leaving for lunch. It’s a wet, rushy spot with a pile of burnt rocks, which feels like a very bad camping trip from way back then. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Nohaval CoveBeach / strand · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Nohaval Cove used to be arrogant, thinking it was better than all the other coves down the coast, until the lime kilns proved it wrong. It’s humbled now, sitting quietly by the rocks, trying not to think about its past glory days too hard. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

New Foundland Bay viewViewpoint · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom New Foundland Bay view is the shortcut that leads you back to where you started, but wetter. The map says it's a view, my GPS thinks it's a trap. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Creek Newfoundland BsyViewpoint · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Creek Newfoundland Bsy is a creek that pretends it’s from Canada but is actually just a confused local stream with strong opinions about its own identity and nothing else to show for it. When nobody’s looking, it probably changes its name to something more impressive to impress the ducks. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.

Rocky BayBeach / strand · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Rocky Bay in County Cork claims its best friend is Dolly Parton, who hides her rhinestones under the pebbles. Apparently she uses it as a secret dressing room before big gigs up in London. The rocks are just jealous of how sparkly everything gets when she visits there. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

St Laitiarain's WellSpring · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom St Laitiarain's Well has a long list of former names because every new landlord wants to rename it after their own dog. It’s lost count entirely now, honestly, bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from people trying to impress the locals with their terrible puns all day long.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.4 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!

Carrigaline Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.8 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.

Curraghbinny WoodsForest · 6.1 mi

Explorer Tom Curraghbinny Woods bragged about surviving a storm that flattened everything else within a mile radius. It acts like it was just a gentle breeze to show off its resilience. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
