Burnt mound in GarranenamuddaghBurnt mound · 1069 yd

Explorer Tom Burnt mound in Garranenamuddagh is a low circular mound of black soil. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be, or just damp.

Bellmount HouseGate lodge · 1133 yd

Explorer Tom Bellmount House gate lodge is a Gothic-Revival show-off with oriel windows staring right at you from its ruined state. It thinks it’s 1837 and still thinks it’s got it all. Admire the carved finials from afar, love child.

Bellmount MillsMill (water) · 1480 yd

Explorer Tom Bellmount Mills is an old water mill with a patina of age and mystery. Find the wheel if you can; I think a fox took charge last Tuesday.

Clodah Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1604 yd

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle is a square four-storey tower right on the shoulder of the Bride River valley. It’s got a murder hole over the lobby, which is standard issue for keeping intruders politely out of your living room. Very practical architecture.

Clodah CastleCastle · 1606 yd

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle in County Cork is just another name on my list. It's recorded as a castle, which is helpful but not much. Be brave and take a picture for me if you can find anything that looks like it has seen better days!

Michael Collins MemorialMemorial · 1.6 mi

Pedunculate Oak2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Another Pedunculate Oak in County Cork is hiding a scandal from centuries ago that involved a missing hat and a very angry bishop. No proof, just vibes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and ignore the wind.

Independence MuseumMuseum · 2.5 mi

Kilmurry WoodsPicnic place · 2.8 mi

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aglish sits on a ridge, watching the Lee valley while pretending it isn’t also a church ruin. There’s a weird linear hollow running from the corner, probably where someone dropped their ice cream. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

Kilcrea CastleWood · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom Kilcrea Castle has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a wood 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.
