Tower (in Ruins)Designed landscape, belvedere · 232 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Tower in Reenmurragha is a two-storey circular structure with nesting boxes inside, which is quite unusual. It’s marked as 'in Ruins' on old maps but still standing. Pointed windows and a door flanked by splayed openings make it look very gothic!

Explorer Tom Tower in Reenmurragha is a ghost on the riverbank with no structural remains to show for it. Three other towers hang out nearby, but this one's just a story from the 1990s. Give me a wave if you see anything!

farm house1231 yd

Explorer Tom Farm house in Reenmurragha is all symmetrical and classical because some builder had big dreams. It’s got six-over-six windows that stare straight through your soul. Best enjoyed from a distance, lest it starts charging rent on your memories.

Monterey Cypress1516 yd

Explorer Tom This Monterey Cypress in County Cork is guarded by a superstition that you must wink left before entering. Locals swear by it, mostly because they don’t want to admit why. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Oldcourt BridgeBridge · 1535 yd

Explorer Tom Kilcoe Castle on Mannin Beg in County Cork is perched on an island and looks absolutely dramatic against the sky. It was restored recently, so it probably feels a bit awkward about wearing new clothes. Take a wide shot.

Kilcoe Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Kilcoe Castle is on that same little island with a conjoined tower. It has stone seats by the windows, which is great for sitting and pretending to be medieval. The stairs go up to the third floor. Watch your step; the past can be slippery.
