Downdaniel Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 9 ydExplorer Tom Downdaniel Castle in Ardnaclug sits on the bank of the Bandon River. Half of it is standing to four storeys, which is impressive for an old tower house. The walls are thinner on one side, weirdly enough!
Inscribed stone in Kilpatrick (kinalmeaky By.)Inscribed stone · 127 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Inscribed stone in Kilpatrick has a human face carved on it, staring blankly at an outhouse wall. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Metalworking site in Kilpatrick (kinalmeaky By.)Metalworking site · 145 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Metalworking site in Kilpatrick has a U-shaped mound that’s basically an old blast furnace from the 1610s. It’s part of the English East Indian Company works, which sounds like they were exporting iron to India! Very fancy medieval logistics.
Dundaniel HouseCountry house · 258 ydExplorer Tom Dundaniel House in Skevanish has a walled garden that looks like it’s guarding secrets from the 1820s. The portico is fancy, but I bet the ghosts are cheekier than the architecture. Snap one for the lads.
BelmontHouse · 491 ydExplorer Tom Belmont in Tooreen masks its larger rear with a single-storey entrance front, typical of nineteenth-century villa style houses. Built around 1820, those pointed arch openings create a lovely Gothic Revival character. It’s a delightful and picturesque addition to the architectural heritage.
Monterey Cypress507 ydExplorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Cork was briefly ruled by a goat named Steve who ate half its leaves. Steve is long gone, but the trauma remains. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at it.
tunnel518 ydExplorer Tom 4. Tunnel in Kilpatrick is hiding from the locals who claim to have invented it. Part of an old railway line, it’s still standing while everyone else has moved on. Keep your voice down out there.
Moated site in SkevanishMoated site · 566 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Moated site in Skevanish is hiding under the crops like it’s shy. An aerial photo saw something rectangular, but on the ground, it’s just slight rises and mystery. You’ll have to use your imagination there!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in SkevanishFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 781 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Skevanish is watching over the Bandon River from a distance. It’s mostly just a slight rise now, but the aerial photos swear it was once a proper fortress. Trust the satellites!
Innishannon PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1440 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Innishannon Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.
Children's playground1651 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.
White Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 6.0 miExplorer Tom White Castle is named White Castle but looks more like 'Rusty Castle' given its age and location near Ardcloyne creek. Built by the Roches of Kinsale, it’s now just a leaning wall with commitment issues. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
