Carrignacurra Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 50 ydExplorer Tom Carrignacurra Castle sits on a rock outcrop close to the River Lee. Its secret talent is holding up its own ivy-clad corners without complaining. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting.
Carrignacurra CastleCastle · 54 ydExplorer Tom Carrignacurra Castle in County Cork was the chief seat of the O'Learys. Built on a rock by the River Lee! It got captured and forfeited. Take a picture for me if you see the history peeking through!
sign post1060 ydExplorer Tom Sign post in Carrigleagh is standing there looking smug about its harp motif. It’s been telling everyone it’s post-independence since 1940, and honestly, who can argue with that? Get me a photo of that smug little sign.
Glebe HoCountry house · 1063 ydExplorer Tom Glebe Ho near Inchigeelagh is a ruined square house with a chimney that’s still standing tall, refusing to die. It was built in 1859 to replace an older one, so it’s the new kid on the block. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1172 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Glebe has a secret talent: making the River Lee look jealous. It’s by the water, so bring waterproof shoes or regret your choice. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Killeen Burial Ground (Disused)Burial ground · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Killeen Burial Ground (Disused) in Teeranassig is buried under heavy overgrowth right now. I'd say it's taking a very long nap, but I'm sure the landowner has a key to wake it up if you ask nicely enough.
