Longfield's BridgeBridge · 375 yd

Explorer Tom Longfield's Bridge over the Blackwater is showing off its tooling on the voussoirs like it carved them itself. It’s one of many bridges but thinks it’s special because of that craftsmanship. Twist your ankle if you get too close, fair warning!

Designed landscape feature in Firville WestDesigned landscape feature · 475 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Designed landscape feature in Firville West is a mystery because the details aren't uploaded yet. The Vikings probably got lost looking for it and gave up on the whole island. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort of walking nowhere specific.

The Old RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 634 yd

Explorer Tom The Old Rectory in Kilvealaton West has a canted bay that looks like it’s winking at you. It’s got those timber sash windows too, which are proper charming. Perfect spot for a quiet pint if the Foott family aren’t looking.

Saint Senach's Church (Kilshannig)Church/chapel · 712 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Senach's Church (Kilshannig) has a tower that might be medieval, or just really old and grumpy. A local claims he invented the side aisle in 1892 while napping. Don't let him talk your ear off; just nod and admire the carved stone doorcases.

Graveyard744 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Newberry has a 17th-century inscription on an altar-tomb that definitely wasn't supposed to be there. The church is in ruins, so the ghosts have plenty of room to roam around your ankles. Snap one for me if you see it!

Architectural fragment in NewberryArchitectural fragment · 752 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Architectural fragment in Newberry has little carved heads on the edges of an old window arch. Tiny faces staring at you while you try to figure out what they're thinking. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Graveslab in NewberryGraveslab · 752 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Graveslab in Newberry is built into a wall, refusing to fall down because it thinks it’s important. It came from an abbey, so it’s basically a celebrity guest. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Newberry HouseBridge · 804 yd

Explorer Tom Newberry House bridge is a triple-arch sandstone footbridge that’s too narrow for a car. It’s been leading people to a church since 1750, which is quite the commute really.

Dromaneen Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Dromaneen Castle sits atop a cliff edge overlooking the Blackwater River. It was an O'Callaghan fortified house built on an earlier castle site. The MacDonagh MacCarthys were the overlords, which sounds like a very dramatic family reunion gone wrong.

Dromaneen CastleHeritage attraction · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Dromaneen Castle has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.

Drommahane PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.5 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Drommahane 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.

Mallow Castle RuinRuins · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Mallow Castle Ruin in County Cork has been demolished by time and bad luck. The photo says it was a castle, but now it’s just rubble and regret. Take a picture for me if you pass!
