Church of the Presentation of Our LadyChurch/chapel · 1 yd

Explorer Tom Church of the Presentation of Our Lady in Dernagree has been standing since 1838 and looks like it’s still trying to impress everyone with its foliate details. The stained glass is probably nicer than your phone screen. Take a peek.

Old School HouseSchool · 205 yd

Explorer Tom Old School House in Dernagree has a cruciform plan, which means it looks like a cross if you squint hard enough. Bring your imagination and a sense of direction, because I forgot to bring the map.

Castle and TurretCastle, tower house · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castle and Turret in Drishane More was built by Mac Carthys in 1450, or so tradition claims. Now it's attached to an 18th-century house that became a convent school. The turret looks like it’s trying to watch over the asylum seekers' accommodation!

Grave YardGraveyard · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Drishane More was part of a convent's grounds. Oldest stone dates to 1725. Nuns were buried on the east side. The church remains are at the north end. It smells like old incense and mystery.

Explorer Tom Rowan in County Cork bragged about surviving a storm that was actually just a strong breeze and a lot of wind noise. But hey, confidence is key. Take the long way round, because it deserves the effort.

Claragh MountainMountain / peak · 5.6 miKilmeedy CastleCastle, tower house · 6.0 mi

Explorer Tom Kilmeedy Castle has had its fancy bits stolen by a grumpy farmer who thought he was helping out. It’s a five-storey tower that lost its windows in a fit of pique. Go in good boots and better humour, trust me.

Kanturk CastleHeritage attraction · 6.3 miKnocknakillaArchaeological place · 7.9 mi

Explorer Tom Knocknakilla is a megalithic complex between Macroom and Millstreet that looks like it’s been there forever. It’s got a very serious vibe about it. Don’t let it scare you, just be friendly.

European Yew9.0 mi

Explorer Tom This European Yew has a grudge against a bishop who refused to visit because he said it looked 'too pretentious'. The yew never forgave him and still holds its breath. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see it.
