Explorer Tom Seaview House in Carrigillihy has a name that promises an ocean view, but it’s just a nice old farm house from 1820. It’s got two different construction phases, like it changed its mind halfway through building itself. Very indecisive.

Explorer Tom The Old Schoolhouse in Cahergal has tall chimneys and round-headed arches that look like they’re about to sing. It’s eclectic and colourful, which is code for 'we didn’t know what we were doing.' Tell the kids.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Myross sits on a ridge watching the sea with a smug face. A goat once ruled this place, and it still has opinions about your walking pace. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

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.

Explorer Tom Raheen Castle is half-fallen but still standing proud on the rock, looking unimpressed by tourists. It hated the last visitor who brought a drone. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than my disastrous picnic attempt.

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Drombeg By.) sits right next to the famous stone circle, with a horseshoe-shaped bank and a cooking pit that dates back to around 109 AD. It’s got a roasting pit too, so they were definitely feasting hard. Mind the overflow drainage channel, it looks slippery!
