Father Murphy's BridgeBridge · 726 ydExplorer Tom Father Murphy's Bridge in Duinch has three arches that look like they’re trying to jump over the Glen River. Built in 1867, it’s got a date plaque that proves it’s been there a while. See if you can spot the V-cutwater!
Enclosure in BanteerEnclosure · 1162 ydExplorer Tom Banteer’s enclosure shows up as cropmarks of two concentric fosses on an aerial photo. They’re arcs on the west side of a field fence. It’s private tillage, so check before you go looking for ghosts!
Saint Fursey's ChurchChurch/chapel · 1717 ydExplorer Tom Saint Fursey's Church in Banteer is named after a monk who went abroad for work. The stone facade is simple but the inside has stained glass that’ll make you gasp. Keep your voice down!

European Yew4.4 miExplorer Tom This European Yew has a grudge against a bishop who refused to visit because he said it looked 'too pretentious'. The yew never forgave him and still holds its breath. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see it.

Castle Magner (in Ruins)Bawn · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Castle Magner Bawn in Castlemagner, County Cork was forfeited by the Magners and then given back to them, which sounds like a very confusing game of tag. Now it’s just a farmyard with some historical vibes. Try not to let the Bretridges steal your story while you’re there!
St Abigails WellHoly well · 4.7 miExplorer Tom St Abigails Well is enclosed in a D-shaped structure with niches for cups, looking very organized and bureaucratic. It’s still in use and has crosses carved on the stones by pilgrims who needed to mark their spot. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
