water pump106 yd

Explorer Tom Water pump in Castletownsend has a lion's head spout that might actually roar if you tickle its nose. There was a fake royal visit here once, but nobody can prove it because the lion was busy drinking. Twist the handle gently; if it squeaks, run immediately before it eats your shoes.

Harbour ViewHouse · 106 yd

Explorer Tom Harbour View in Castletownsend shares the same odd story as its neighbour Gally Yacht. It looks like two houses merged into one confused entity. The view is probably lovely, but I’d be careful stepping on that hill.

Sycamore166 yd

Castle TownshendCastle · 169 yd

TowerDesigned landscape, belvedere · 173 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Tower in Castletownsend is an octagonal roadside structure with tiny windows that make it look like it’s permanently winking at traffic. It’s got an embattled parapet, so pretend you’re a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your credentials.

Burnt mound in CastletownsendBurnt mound · 233 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Another Burnt mound in Castletownsend sits right next to a church that’s been there forever and a sewer scheme that wasn’t ready. It’s well-preserved, unlike most of our modern infrastructure plans. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.

Children's playground340 ydComputer-made picture

Raheen Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1176 yd

Explorer Tom Raheen Castle is half-fallen but still standing proud on the rock, looking unimpressed by tourists. It hated the last visitor who brought a drone. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than my disastrous picnic attempt.
