Children's playground175 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Wilton Park HouseHouse · 279 ydExplorer Tom Wilton Park House in Ballinaspig More was built by Thomas Jennings in 1894. It’s H-shaped with a gabled breakfront. Renovated in 1977. The timber work is nice. Take a snap of the front for me.
St Joseph's CollegeOutbuilding · 298 ydExplorer Tom St Joseph's College outbuilding in Farrandahadore More is a detached stone beast from 1860. It’s got red brick quoins and round-headed windows that look like they’ve seen things. The corrugated iron roof is doing its best to stay dignified.
St Joseph's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 381 ydExplorer Tom St Joseph’s Church in Farrandahadore More has a broach-spire that really wants you to notice it. The red brick and grey limestone mix is like a fashion mistake that somehow works. Wild claim: it thinks it’s older than it actually is.
milestone/milepost718 ydExplorer Tom Milestone in Ballinaspig Beg is a little triangular thing saying ‘Cork 2’ like it knows exactly where you are. It was put there for mail coaches back in the 1830s, so imagine looking at it and thinking about horses and letters instead of GPS signals.
Wilton VillasHouse · 751 ydExplorer Tom Wilton Villas in Farrandahadore More is pulling a fast one on you, mate. They look like separate semis, but they’re secretly all linked up like a gang of chums sharing a secret. Bring your binoculars if you want to see the trick!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballinaspig MoreFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 860 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballinaspig More is hiding under a housing estate like a shy cat. It’s just a kink in the fence line now, but I bet it used to throw wild parties before the builders moved in. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
St Catherine's ConventConvent/nunnery · 893 ydExplorer Tom St Catherine's Convent is a 1957 design by J.R. Boyd Barret that looks like it’s made of concrete and good intentions. It’s next to the Church of the Holy Spirit, sharing some mirrored detailing that’s definitely meant to look modern.
Fulacht fia in Ballinaspig MoreFulacht fia · 1068 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Ballinaspig More is basically a prehistoric soup pot that got cancelled by a motorway. It's just a trough of broken rocks now, but I bet it simmered some serious beef stew back in the day. Dare you to say hello to the broth out loud.
Ira Volunteers MemorialMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ira Volunteers Memorial has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.
Zen GardenGarden · 1.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Zen 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.
George BooleMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom George Boole has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.
