Newman's BridgeBridge · 35 yd

Explorer Tom Newman’s Bridge in Gillabbey is made of concrete and ego, thanks to James Hardress de Warenne Waller. The springing arcading is so experimental it probably needs therapy. Give it a tap; the wrought-iron work is definitely showing off its curves.

University College CorkGates/railings/walls · 38 yd

Explorer Tom University College Cork gates are monumental and elegant with restrained decorative ironwork by J&C McGloughlin of Dublin. They form a grand entrance that really sets the tone for the historic campus inside. Perfect place to pretend you're still studying but actually just admiring the metalwork details.

Explorer Tom Gill Abbey in Cork City was founded by Cormac MacCarthaig and burned down by Anglo-Normans who were scared of the men of Desmond. That sounds like a neighborhood dispute that escalated way too quickly. Tell me if the gossip I made up about the monks is true, or just lie.

Glossy privet236 yd

Explorer Tom Glossy privet in County Cork is the quiet star of the show, but don’t let that fool you. The whole parish once argued about whether it was fancy or not. It’s free, it’s odd, so what more could you possibly want?

Cork WalksVisitor information · 274 ydCaucasian Wingnut278 yd

Explorer Tom Caucasian Wingnut is named after a place that sounds like a wizard’s hat but is actually a nut tree. There was a bishop who refused to visit because he didn’t like the wings on the nuts. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you’re sitting under a weird tree in Cork.

Explorer Tom Passage tomb art in Cork City is currently in a museum, so you’re basically visiting a rock that got moved for convenience. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call, but keep it respectful to the spirals.
