Ballymore HouseHunting/fishing lodge · 378 yd

Explorer 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 yd

Explorer 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.

Graveyard902 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ballymore has headstones dating back to 1721, and I bet the seagulls have plenty to say about who’s buried where. It’s partially overgrown but still in occasional use. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballybrassil sits on a slope like it’s waiting for a drop. The bank is still there, but the fosse is getting overgrown, so don’t say I didn’t warn you about the mud.

Explorer Tom Cove Fort in County Cork used to defend the harbour back when ships were wooden and scary. Now it just defends itself against the seagulls stealing its fish sandwiches. Take a photo of the ruins!
