Kilnap Glen HouseHouse · 84 ydExplorer Tom Kilnap Glen House has stained glass that probably costs more than my car and timber windows with decorative tracery that make it look like a fairytale. Bring a notebook, because you’ll need to write down how fancy it is.
Kilnap ViaductViaduct · 113 ydExplorer Tom Kilnap Viaduct is made of stone so sturdy it probably hasn't moved since the mid-nineteenth century. Twist your neck to check if there's a local hiding in the arches, but don't hold your breath.
Kilnap BridgeBridge · 176 ydExplorer Tom Kilnap Bridge spans a deep valley with putlog holes that look like the bridge has giant pockmarks. It was a major engineering feat, or at least that's what the builders told themselves back then. Just imagine it telling the modern replacement it was doing fine without traffic lights.
bridge381 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Carhoo is showing off its rusticated stonemasonry like it’s wearing a very expensive, heavy suit that cost too much to clean. It sits at a busy junction looking all serious and structural while cars zoom past. Find the darkest shadow under the arch for that moody, mysterious snap you’re after.
Standing stone in Carhoo (cork By.)Standing stone · 555 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Carhoo holds the record for leaning slightly north while looking at Cork City. The ground around it is eroded by cattle who clearly need boundaries. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Children's playground788 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Planet Leisure CentreChildren's playground · 868 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Planet Leisure Centre 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.
Glennamought BridgeBridge · 878 ydExplorer Tom Glennamought Bridge is low, long, and full of itself about its stonemasonry skills. The parapet walls look like they've been posing for photos for years. A good place to forge a friendship with a local goat.
Blackstone BridgeBridge · 992 ydExplorer Tom Blackstone Bridge in Killeens is just sitting there being modestly robust. Eighteenth-century engineers were basically ninjas with hammers, building stuff that still hasn’t fallen over. Look for the spot where the road just gives up and surrenders to the bridge’s superiority.
Gallán (Site of)Standing stone · 1035 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallán in Rathpeacon has vanished from a south-east-facing slope, leaving nothing behind. It must have slipped away when nobody was looking. Try to spot where it might be hiding.
IndicatedStanding stone · 1099 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Carhoo is also missing, so its family tree consists entirely of ghosts and rumours. It’s probably off having a quiet drink somewhere else. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Lavitts QuayMemorial · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Lavitts Quay has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.
