Gallan (Site of)Standing stone · 232 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Another Gallan in Munnane, also missing in action. There’s a mate one field away to the SW, but this one? Gone. Just pasture where a giant stone used to be. A bit disappointing, don't you think?

GallanStanding stone · 247 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Gallan in Hollyhill is overlooking the Ilen River valley from a pasture slope, standing subrectangular and aligned NE-SW like it's keeping watch over the water below. It's 1.55m high and seems very content with its view.

Aghadown HouseHouse · 1163 yd

Explorer Tom Aghadown House in Aghadown is a vernacular house that tried too hard to look fancy around 1900. The porch window is there, but it looks like it’s judging your life choices. If you ask for a job, tell them you know how to sweep.

Westfield HouseCountry house · 1203 yd

Explorer Tom Westfield House in Hollyhill has a blank entrance front because someone changed their mind about doors. It’s got a hipped roof and symmetrical façade, but the entrance is a mystery. Have a laugh at its confusion!

Monterey Cypress1.0 mi

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.

Inishbeg GardensGarden · 2.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom Inishbeg Gardens has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.

Kilcoe Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.3 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.

Kilcoe CastleCastle · 2.3 mi

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.

KnockomaghMountain / peak · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Knockomagh 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.

Skeam EastIslet · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Skeam East has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.

IllaungawnaIslet · 4.9 mi

Explorer Tom Illaungawna has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.

Children's playground5.0 miTom: 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.
