Explorer Tom Post box in Bawnmore is a cast-iron secret keeper from the late nineteenth century. It’s been hiding scandals since before Wi-Fi existed. Twist: give it a wink if you think it knows where your missing socks are.

Clonavrick CliffCliff · 2.1 miEdmond WalshHouse · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Edmond Walsh in Carriganimmy is still doing double duty as shop and pub. I bet the owner drinks the stock before selling it. Wave hello to the guy who never clocks out.

KnocknakillaArchaeological place · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Knocknakilla is a megalithic complex between Macroom and Millstreet that looks like it’s been there forever. It’s got a very serious vibe about it. Don’t let it scare you, just be friendly.

Glantane EastArchaeological place · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Glantane East in County Cork has a wedge tomb hiding out there. It’s from the Bronze Age, so it’s ancient! Find this spot and take a photo for me to see if anyone is still visiting it.

MusheramoreMountain / peak · 3.7 miCarrigaphooca CastleCastle · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle in County Cork is keeping its mouth shut. It's just recorded as a castle, which is boring but honest. Don't be shy; take a photo for me if it looks interesting at all.

Carrigaphooca Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle sits on a rocky outcrop like a king on a throne. The MacCarthys built it back in 1436, which is ancient history. It was attacked by another MacCarthy, so the family drama must have been intense!

Battle of MacroomBattle · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.

Bealick MillVisitor attraction · 4.5 miMusheraMountain / peak · 4.6 miSessile Oak5.0 mi

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.
