Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 20 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Barnahely, County Cork sits in an area zoned for industrial use, so it's basically waiting to be replaced by a warehouse. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up about its secret disco life.
Sheela-na-gig in BarnahelySheela-na-gig · 22 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Barnahely was found at a castle, then disappeared so fast you'd think it was shy or just bad at keeping appointments. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
ExcavationExcavation, miscellaneous · 58 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Barnahely excavation uncovered a circular pit that was just sitting there being mysterious. I think a fake royal visited it in 1704 and left no evidence whatsoever. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the mud.
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, belvedere · 70 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Barnahely is a belvedere, which sounds fancy but is just a nice view spot. Saint Patrick probably hated it because he prefers mud to manicured grass. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about your ex.

The OratoryChurch/chapel · 1106 ydExplorer Tom The Oratory in Ringaskiddy is a small church built by local people in 1923 because they wanted something charming and informal. It’s got a bellcote that looks like it’s trying to be loud but can’t manage it, so just enjoy the vernacular style without overthinking it.
Rock CottageHouse · 1234 ydExplorer Tom Rock Cottage in Ringaskiddy is hiding behind some serious vegetal growth, like it's playing hide-and-seek with the sea. The canted bays are trying to look sophisticated but the flat roof says otherwise. Peek through the leaves and say hi!

Monkstown CastleHouse, fortified house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Monkstown Castle has square towers at each corner that look very serious. The floors are collapsed, so if you drop something, it stays there forever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
