Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallincollaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 4 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballincolla has an underground passage inside, which is fancy for a dirt circle. It’s got a stone wall replacing part of the bank, so it’s half-manicured and half-wild. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Poll na SlinneMountain / peak · 558 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom Poll na Slinne has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.

walled garden820 yd

Explorer Tom Aghatubrid More’s walled garden smells like old roses and regret, according to my very reliable nose. It has a polygonal pavilion that probably thinks it’s the centre of the universe. See if you can spot the harbour view!

Fairy fort / stone ringfort in BallincollaFairy fort / stone ringfort · 823 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballincolla is right by Glandore Harbour, probably judging all the boats passing by. It has two big standing stones marking the entrance, which feels like very serious bouncer energy for a rural spot. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

SeamarkHouse · 921 yd

Explorer Tom Seamark in Aghatubrid More is part of a house trio that probably shares a group chat about who’s prettier. The Allen family built it, so it’s definitely showing off its Georgian windows. Bring wellies and your best flattery.

Children's playground1242 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer 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.

Prison CoveBeach / strand · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Prison Cove has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a beach / strand 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.

Sitka Spruce1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Another Sitka Spruce in County Cork is judging your posture from up high. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse and barely flinched.

Raheen CastleCastle · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Raheen Castle in County Cork was built by Domhnall Ó Donnabháin after his 1584 inauguration. Cromwell smashed the east wall in 1649, so it has a temper.
