school75 ydExplorer Tom School in Townparks has turned into a house but still wears its 1836 pediment like a crown. It’s got separate entrances for boys and girls, which is just asking for drama. The red brick dressings are quite the showstopper, aren’t they?
Cloyne PresbyteryPresbytery/parochial/curate's house · 109 ydExplorer Tom Cloyne Presbytery is sitting on its limestone steps looking too important for its own good. The render portico is showing off, but I bet it can’t handle a nosy neighbour asking for tea. Be nice to the presbytery!
Armorial plaque in Townparks (imokilly By., Cloyne Par.)Armorial plaque · 247 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Armorial plaque in Townparks was ripped off a castle that got destroyed long ago. Now it’s just initials and a date floating in history books. If you see a ghost, ask it where it went!
Architectural fragment in Townparks (imokilly By., Cloyne Par.)Architectural fragment · 256 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Architectural fragment in Townparks is playing possum inside St Coleman’s church. It’s got 'IHS Maria INS' carved on it, which sounds like a secret handshake for saints. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Saint Colman's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 265 ydExplorer Tom Saint Colman's Roman Catholic Church in Townparks is planning to retire by moving to a better postcode. It’s got those giant Corinthian columns that make you feel small. Perfect spot for a nap.
fountain287 ydExplorer Tom Fountain in Townparks was erected in 1879 by E. F. Litton to remember his wife. It’s got Corinthian colonettes that are definitely overachieving for a water spout. I’d bet it’s still whispering sweet nothings to the locals, though.
CastleCastle, tower house · 307 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Townparks is known only from an 18th-century sketch, so it’s like a celebrity who refuses to do press interviews. It had an oriel window, which is just fancy talk for a balcony with attitude. Linger, it’s not going anywhere and neither should you.
Pohutukawa1.1 miExplorer Tom Pohutukawa in County Cork gave up chocolate for Lent but definitely sneaked some in the leaves. It’s a New Zealand tree pretending it belongs here. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about your ex.
Princesstree1.1 miExplorer Tom Princesstree in County Cork hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, so we’re just rolling with it. It’s fancy and it knows it. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its entire biography on the spot.
Children's playground2.2 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.
Ballybrannigan BeachBeach / strand · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Ballybrannigan Beach has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a beach / strand 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.
InchBeach / strand · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Inch has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a beach / strand 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.
