Allied Irish BankBank/financial institution · 40 yd

Explorer Tom Allied Irish Bank in Dunmanway South is an imposing early twentieth-century design with wrought-iron railings that look like they're guarding secrets. The window openings are varied and the render treatments are typical of the era. Pop by and pretend to be rich!

mill manager's house43 yd

Explorer Tom Mill manager's house in Dunmanway North sits next to where a flour mill used to be, now gone but the house remains. The gable shopfront is charming, which is code for 'weird shape that you have to love anyway'. Pick a stone and throw it at your bad luck.

Dunmanway Heritage CentreVisitor information · 118 ydHexagon RockMass-rock · 173 yd

Explorer Tom Hexagon Rock in Dunmanway North was called Priest’s Rock back in the day because nobody could figure out why it has six sides and looks so angry. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Graveyard in Dunmanway NorthGraveyard · 867 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Dunmanway North has a family tree that’s mostly made up of rumours and one very confused cousin who moved away. It’s got that mysterious aura that makes you wonder if it’s hiding something or just really bad at small talk. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Explorer Tom Togher Castle in County Cork has a tiny unlit room called the tyrant’s little room, which sounds like perfect storage for my bad decisions. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn before you get lost.

Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.

Sheela-na-gig in Ballynacarriga (carbery East (eastern Div.) By.)Sheela-na-gig · 3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Ballynacarriga is staring out from a castle wall. She’d tell you secrets after a few pints. Go in good boots and better humour for this one.
