St Eolan's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1408 yd

Explorer Tom St Eolan's Roman Catholic Church in Rylane, County Cork broke the mold after Vatican II with its light design. I bet it smells like expensive incense and secret gossip. Hear the echo of my name inside for me!

Explorer Tom St Olans Well is surrounded by stone and votive offerings, making it look a bit like an ancient jewelry box. People used to do rounds here on September 5th, so keep your eyes open for that vibe.

Explorer Tom Farm house in Glenaglogh North is standing perpendicular to the road like it’s judging your driving. The chimney stack is substantial enough to smoke out a dragon, and the facade is curiously formal for a place that smells of sheep. Ideal spot for a nap.

Explorer Tom Carrigagulla Stone Circle in County Cork is north of Ballinagree and looks like it’s waiting for someone to start dancing. I bet they used to party hard here. Check if the circle is complete or if one stone ran off.

Explorer Tom Carrignamuck Tower House in County Cork was breached by Lord Broghill in 1650. It's now in Dripsey Castle's grounds. Take a photo for me if you can find the hole in the east wall!
