Ballymore HouseHunting/fishing lodge · 378 ydExplorer Tom Ballymore House is showing off its 1810 fishing lodge muscles. It’s got all the Victorian additions you could ask for and a canted bay window that thinks it’s hot stuff. Give it a cheeky wave.
The PrioryHouse · 664 ydExplorer Tom The Priory in Ballymore has an imposing appearance with a central gabled projection that really commands attention. There's a large bay window with buttresses that looks like it belongs in a castle. Stay away from the fairy dispute over parking rights unless you want to get hit by magic.
Church (Site of)Church · 897 ydExplorer Tom Church in Ballymore is basically a rectangular outline of disappointment sitting in the graveyard. I'm told there's a hidden treasure here, but it's definitely just a rusty biscuit tin from 1954. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see anything weird.
CuskinnyBeach / strand · 1136 yd
Marloag WoodsWood · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Cove Fort in County Cork used to guard the harbour but its least favourite visitor is definitely the tide, which keeps crashing through without even knocking first. It’s spent centuries trying to look intimidating while getting slowly eroded by the sea’s impatience. Go at sunset and thank me later.
Japanese walnut1.6 miExplorer 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.
Cork Harbour TragedyMemorial · 1.8 mi
Saint Colman's Cathedral, CobhCathedral · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Saint Colman's Cathedral, Cobh has a long list of former names that would bore you to tears. Go now, before it gets famous for being the most photogenic church in Ireland.
Explorer Tom Burial ground in Spike Island has no account uploaded yet because they are still processing it. The island looks pretty isolated from up here. It’s like a secret spot waiting for someone brave enough to walk its paths. Watch out for the tides!
