mill (water)8 yd

Explorer Tom Mill in Terramount has a hidden message in its stones that says 'I need a coffee break' if you read it backwards. It’s been grinding flour for ages and is now mostly just a very large rock with opinions. Best enjoyed by sitting on a bench and pretending the wind is your hair blowing dramatically.

Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 269 yd

Explorer Tom Church of the Immaculate Conception in Rathcormack has rose windows and pointed arches. It looks like it's trying to be seen from the street, which is rude. Have a peek inside, but don't touch the fancy door furniture!

M. Riordan BakerHouse · 372 yd

Explorer Tom M. Riordan Baker in Rathcormack has render quoins that look like fancy trimmings on a very old loaf of bread. The family tree is mostly made up by Tom, but the windows are real. Bring a sandwich!

Christ ChurchChurch/chapel · 390 yd

Explorer Tom Christ Church in Rathcormack is having a bit of a derelict moment, but still showing off its Tudor-Gothic vibes. It’s basically the ugly step-sibling to the famous one across the water. Get your camera ready for a moody shot.

Children's playground398 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

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.

Grave YardGraveyard · 403 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Rathcormack has headstones dating back to 1710, which is ancient history for a village. It’s on the SE side of the village and still gets used occasionally. Keep an eye out for those old stones!

water pump453 yd

Explorer Tom Water pump in Rathcormack has a cow's tail handle. Yes, really! It's been out of action since 1890, probably waiting for a bucket it never got. It's quite the village landmark. Give the spout a little honk.

Architectural fragment in MondanielArchitectural fragment · 964 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Architectural fragment in Mondaniel is just a limestone block with a basin, but the weather has a long grudge against its rough surfaces. It’s in a front garden, so if you look too hard, the owner might ask for rent. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.

Kilshannig StudGarden · 1.2 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom Kilshannig Stud has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.

Barrymore Castle or Castle LyonsCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom The other part of Barrymore Castle is just rubble now, thanks to some people digging for limestone. It does weird things when nobody's looking, probably judging your fashion choices. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Explorer Tom Corrin Hill 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.
