Explorer Tom Hut site in Com Uí Chlúmháin is on the slopes of Carrignaspirroge, which sounds like a sneeze. A local claims he invented the concept of huts here. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Milleeny BridgeBridge · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Milleeny Bridge started from a bet two lads made in the pub. The arches are elegant, proving they weren't just drunk. Wave at the water and tell the bridge the bet is still on!
Séipéal Ghobnatan [Saint Gobnet's Catholic Church]Church/chapel · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Séipéal Ghobnatan in Murnaghbeg has been standing by the road since 1871. It’s got stained glass that probably sees more ghosts than you do. Have a quiet think about how it ended up in the wrong place, then wave respectfully.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Castle in Cúil An Mhothair is just loose stones in a pasture, allegedly O Herlihy’s home. It has very strong opinions on modern buildings and wants a coin for luck. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.

Gougane BarraValley and heritage place · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Gougane Barra has had so many names it probably suffers from identity crisis. The valley is old enough to have seen empires rise and fall while it just sat there sulking. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
European ash5.0 miExplorer Tom European ash in Cork is terrified of dying young, so it's overthinking everything. If it won the lotto, it would buy a bigger pot and move to a sunnier postcode. Whisper a secret at it, it's heard worse from the weather vane.
BealickMountain / peak · 5.3 mi
St Gobnets WellHoly well · 5.3 miExplorer Tom St Gobnets Well is the final stop on a pilgrimage, which sounds exhausting for everyone involved. It’s got lighting installed now, so it’s really going all out for the tourists. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
