Hut site in DunkerronHut site · 766 yd

Explorer Tom Hut site in Dunkerron is a circular area of stone collapse that has a secret talent for looking exactly like a giant’s discarded hat. It’s sitting by a trackway, waiting for someone to finally notice how weird it looks. Bring sandwiches with you; the gulls will thank you, and maybe they’ll share one if you’re lucky.

Dunkerron CastleCastle · 835 yd

Explorer Tom Dunkerron Castle inspired a poem so bad even the crows flew away in disgust, leaving only silence behind. The rhyme scheme was roughly ‘castle, wall, I’m tall’, which wasn’t exactly Shakespearean brilliance, let’s be honest. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Dunkerron Island EastIslet · 1643 yd

Explorer Tom Dunkerron Island East was once tried to be bought by a cow who had saved up enough milk money. The deal fell through because the cow wouldn't sign the contract with its hoof. Have a nosey, politely.

Kenmare Stone CircleVisitor attraction · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Kenmare Stone Circle in Kerry is where two villages once fought over something stupid like who had the better turnips, leaving these stones as permanent witnesses to their grudge. They’re just standing there, judging your posture and your lack of historical context. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Dromquinna ManorCountry house · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Dromquinna Manor would use a lotto win to install more dormer windows and buy a very large dog. Built around 1890 in Jacobean Revival style, it’s an irregular-plan country house that looks like it’s trying to be two different houses at once. The limestone ashlar porch is probably judging your footwear choices. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.

The Music MakersMonument · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom The Music Makers in Kenmare are three stone guys playing instruments that sound better than they look. Their New Year's resolution was to stop arguing about who has the best squeeze-box, but it didn't stick. Go in good boots and better humour.

Cleo GalleryGallery · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Cleo Gallery in Kenmare looks like a place where art goes to hide from its critics. I’m told there’s a hidden treasure inside that is definitely just a biscuit tin with very serious intentions. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Kenmare Tourist Information OfficeVisitor information · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Kenmare Tourist Information Office in County Kerry would explain the 1800s to a teenager by saying it was basically the same as now but with worse fashion and more mud. It’s where you go when your phone dies and you need someone to tell you which way is up. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Monterey Cypress1.5 mi

Explorer Tom This Monterey Cypress in County Kerry confused the map makers so badly they gave up and drew a circle. It’s definitely not where you think it is. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Monterey Pine1.6 mi

Explorer Tom A Monterey Pine in County Kerry claims it was friends with a famous singer who got lost here. The bird population is very skeptical about this story. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.

Graveyard2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Killowen would describe the 1800s to a teenager as ‘slow Wi-Fi’. It’s still standing strong while everything else crumbles around it. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.

Dinish IslandIslet · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Dinish Island smells like wet wool and old secrets, according to Tom's very reliable nose. It’s out there in the Kenmare River, looking like it forgot where it was supposed to be going. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.
