CarrigHouse · 761 ydExplorer Tom Carrig has wrought-iron railings that look like they cost a fortune but were bought at a car boot sale. It would complain to the council about your parking anyway.
Vernon MountCountry house · 765 ydExplorer Tom Vernon Mount in Curraghconway was built by Sir Henry Browne Hayes, who made his money in distilling and glass. It has a curved south façade that looks like it's smiling. I bet it would tell secrets after a few pints.
outbuilding784 ydExplorer Tom Ballincurrig’s outbuilding is mixing brick and limestone in a way that’s honestly quite impressive. It used to serve a grand house, now it’s just being a bit too cozy. Check out those textural variations for me!

Ballincurrig HouseCountry house · 844 ydExplorer Tom Ballincurrig House in Ballincurrig is anchoring itself to the landscape with those overhanging eaves since about 1820. The classical proportions and diminishing windows make it look incredibly grand, even if it’s just a house. Those red brick gate lodges add some colour, so don't ignore that little detail.
Waldean / ThornleighHouse · 936 ydExplorer Tom House in Skahabeg North is a brick and timber show-off that thinks it's the future of 1900s housing. It’s got some serious texture going on, like it’s wearing a fancy scarf made of history. Tell the neighbours I said hi from the past!
Chetwynd and GlenbawnHouse · 956 ydExplorer Tom Chetwynd and Glenbawn sounds like two brothers fighting over who gets to be the main character in a Victorian novel. The brickwork is ornate, which means someone had too much time and not enough sense. Pretend the name means 'chewy and glen-brown' and you’ll win.
St Finbarr's HospitalWorkhouse · 960 ydExplorer Tom St Finbarr's Hospital in Skahabeg North used to house the 'invalid or insane.' Two lads bet it was just a very strict gym. End this one with your own twist on: 'Knock on wood', careful, it might bite back!
Rosnalee and TrasnaHouse · 975 ydExplorer Tom Rosnalee and Trasna in Skahabeg North are twins with attitude. They’re 1910 middle-class show-offs with cast-iron railings that scream 'look at me'. I bet they gossip about the neighbours over the garden wall every night.
Explorer Tom Burial ground in Cork City has no uploaded info, so I’m making this up as I go. It’s probably just a quiet spot that people forgot about. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Explorer Tom Father Matthew monument in County Cork is probably still preaching about sobriety. Theobald Mathew was a legend, but this statue looks a bit stiff. Take a pic and say hi for me!
