Boulta HouseCountry house · 1399 yd

Explorer Tom Boulta House is being all somber and elegant because it’s having a mood swing in the country. It’s got render quoins that look like they’re holding it together. Tell your mate it’s not trying to be fancy, just tired!

Longueville HouseFarm house · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Longueville House is a farm complex arranged around a courtyard that’s basically a giant three-sided game of chicken. It has carriage arches and limestone sills that make it look like it’s waiting for a royal carriage that never arrived. If the cows stare at you, return the gaze; they’re probably checking if you’ve got hay in your teeth.

Graveyard1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ballynoe has a large mausoleum with a collapsing roof and headstones from the 1700s, which is exactly where I’d expect a poet to fall in a ditch nearby. It’s still in use today. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Graveyard in Curraheen (kinnatalloon By.)Graveyard · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Curraheen is stuck in a fairy dispute over who gets to park their invisible carts first, likely involving some very angry pixies with tiny law degrees. Nobody knows exactly what’s happening there, which makes it perfect for anyone needing to buy time before they have to admit where they actually are. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Castlebrook forestWood · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castlebrook forest would be that person at a wedding who stands by the cake table eating all the frosting while pretending to look busy helping out. It’s not doing any work, but it looks very important and slightly guilty about the crumbs. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Conna CastleCastle · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Conna Castle in County Cork keeps pretending it hasn't seen the new neighbour building its own wall three feet higher just to see who blinks first. It’s got that classic 'I am ancient stone' attitude but is secretly terrified of being outdone by modern dry-lining. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

Conna Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Conna Castle has a local legend that says a giant once tried to use it as a footstool and missed, leaving it perched precariously on that rock. It’s five stories of pure intimidation overlooking the river, looking like a medieval skyscraper with commitment issues. Go before the tourists find out.

Salt HillMountain / peak · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Salt Hill thinks it’s got a massive social media following, posting daily updates about how salty its air really is to its followers. It’s obsessed with engagement metrics, even though nobody has liked a single post from a hill in Cork. Go back next winter when it’s all frosty and dramatic.

Graveyard in KillasseraghGraveyard · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Killasseragh is inside an enclosure with sod-covered walls, so the Vikings probably got lost looking for it and blamed their compasses. It’s got that rustic charm where the entrance slabs were removed and replaced because one tenant had strong opinions about aesthetics. Have a nosey, politely.

Aghern CemeteryWood · 3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Aghern Cemetery is listed as a wood, which means the trees are probably too shy to dig graves properly. It would last two days on a reality show before someone ate a mushroom. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Leahy's Open FarmHeritage attraction · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Leahy's Open Farm is where a mother-in-law designed the entire layout based on her pet peeves about how cows should stand when they’re not being looked at directly in the face. It’s an open farm, which means you can see everything, including my growing suspicion that this is all just a very elaborate joke. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

St Bridgets WellHoly well · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom St Bridgets Well in Britway is enclosed by a stone wall with offerings inside. Renovated in 1880, which means it’s been keeping secrets for over a century. Peek through the gaps and see what people left.
