Standing stone in Rooska EastStanding stone · 925 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Standing stone in Rooska East sits in a rush-covered hollow between rocky ridges. It has very strong opinions on modern buildings, mostly that they are ugly and leaky. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Anomalous stone group in CrotteesAnomalous stone group · 1206 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Anomalous stone group in Crottees is eight stones lying down pretending they’re a circle. They’ve got serious commitment issues because they’re mostly prostrate and not accepting any invitations. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

church/chapel1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Killoveenoge’s chapel is retired from worship but still wearing its historic fabric like an old tuxedo to a casual party. It gave up on religion but kept the high-quality detailing. Practise your best 'oh wow' face.

St. James' ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom St. James' Church in Carrigboy has been rebuilt so many times it’s confused about its own age. The 1832 bell tower is the newest bit. Ring the bell if you dare, but don’t blame me for the noise.

Coolnalong Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Coolnalong Castle is a U-shaped house that looks like it's trying to hug itself. It overlooks Dunmanus Bay and has some fancy oversailing chimney caps. It’s been used as a farm building, so maybe smell the cows before you explore.

Children's playground1.7 miComputer-made picture

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.

Rossmore Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Rossmore Castle is ivy-clad and dramatic on Dunmanus Bay, looking like it was dressed for a photo shoot. It was nearly sold for a horse, which is a great deal actually. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its entire biography on the spot.

Mount CorrinMountain / peak · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Mount Corrin has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.

Ginkgo3.4 mi

Explorer Tom This Ginkgo in County Cork is currently in a bitter feud with the rain. It’s just shaking its leaves at the sky like ‘are you done yet?’. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next one.

Bantry HouseCountry house · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Bantry House in Seafield is showing off again with its pilasters and bay views. The Hutchinsons built it, then the Earl of Bantry added so much more it’s practically a city block. Pop b, I mean, pop the hood on your car, it's that impressive.

Garinish WestIslet · 4.5 mi

Explorer Tom Garinish West has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.

KnockacarrinMountain / peak · 5.1 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Knockacarrin has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
