Blackwater CastleCountry house · 217 ydExplorer Tom Blackwater Castle in Castlewidenham started as a medieval tower house around 1475 and was later extended into a country house hotel. The fanciful castellations contrast with the functional battlements, creating a profile that looks like it stepped out of a fantasy novel onto the river Awbeg banks.
St Patricks Well (Site of)Holy well · 322 ydExplorer Tom St Patricks Well in Castlewidenham is where you go to cure your ego, not just your rash. The water is pure, but the vibes are suspiciously holy for a puddle in the pasture. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Bridge MillMill (water) · 424 ydExplorer Tom Bridge Mill has strict rules: no phones, no talking, and definitely no asking why it smells like old flour. Bring a jacket, it’s drafty in here!
Graveyard596 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Sleemana is on top of a hillock at Castletownroche. It has a random rubble wall and some chest tombs. The church right next to it looks a bit like a fortress. Keep an eye out for lichen!

Ballyhooly CastleCastle · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Ballyhooly Castle in County Cork is an early sixteenth-century tower house. You can see part of the bawn wall on the right if you look closely. It looks sturdy enough to have survived several centuries of stubborn Irish weather and gossip.
Knocknaskagh North TopMountain / peak · 3.7 mi
Glanworth CastleCastle · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.
Doneraile CourtFoot bridge · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Hunting Bridge at Doneraile Court is humpbacked, which means it’s got character and maybe a bad knee. It’s part of the demesne group, so it’s never alone. The local lad claims he invented the concept of bridges next to this one. Trust him, not me.
Pedunculate Oak5.6 miExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Cork claims there’s a shortcut through the roots, but it’s definitely not a shortcut. It’s more of a spiritual journey. Tell it a joke, because it’s been a long time since anyone did.
