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!

Burial GroundGraveyard · 478 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Ballinluig West Burial Ground has a plaque from 1783 that nobody can read, so we’re all just guessing what it says. It’s still in use, which means someone is definitely parking their car there incorrectly. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Fulacht fia in Ballingarry EastFulacht fia · 1315 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Ballingarry East is in a ploughed field. Ten by eight meters of burnt stuff. The plough has probably mixed it all up into the soil. History just gets churned right into the dirt.

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.

Nohaval CoveBeach / strand · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Nohaval Cove 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.

Kinure Castle (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Kinure Castle was built by the Roche family way back in 1576. It’s sitting on a slope overlooking Ballinclashet creek with absolutely nothing left to see. Just a spot where history used to hang out before vanishing.

New Foundland Bay viewViewpoint · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom New Foundland Bay view 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.

Creek Newfoundland BsyViewpoint · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Creek Newfoundland Bsy 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.

Rocky BayBeach / strand · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Rocky Bay 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.

Children's playground3.6 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.

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.

Centenary GardenGarden · 4.9 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Centenary Garden has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.
