Standing stone in CloghmacsimonStanding stone · 473 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Cloghmacsimon overlooks the river and looks like it lost a bet against the wind, being only nine centimetres thick. It would win a county fair for best in show despite its slim build. Stick around for the light changing, it’s a show.
Wayside shrine499 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Wayside shrine in County Cork has a story I can almost hear. It’s mumbling something about lost keys. Keep your ears open while you walk past it.
GallanStanding stone (present location) · 646 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Gallan in Knockanreagh is the present location of that same lazy stone, now sitting on the west side of the lane. It holds a fake world record for being the most moved-about rock in County Cork. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
1916 Rising MonumentMonument · 649 ydExplorer Tom The 1916 Rising Monument in Cloghmacsimon is standing on its hill looking somber but secretly smug. The whole parish argued about it for weeks, probably over who got to place the flowers. It’s got that excellent craftsmanship that makes you feel small. Bow your head and take a pic!
ClogheenavodigStanding stone · 682 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Clogheenavodig sits by the road with no visible trace left. It’s basically a ghost with a postcode and zero physical presence. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
The ManseManse · 683 ydExplorer Tom The Manse in Cloghmacsimon is sandstone and red brick, built around 1880 for Methodist clergy. It’s got camber-headed windows and eaves corbels that add a bit of flair. The irregular design means it never knows which way to face, so you shouldn’t either.
Fulacht fia in KnockanreaghFulacht fia · 708 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Knockanreagh got ploughed in 1969 because someone thought they were being clever with the tractor. Now it’s just an oval mound on a steep slope, looking a bit confused. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than my embarrassing one.
distillery755 ydExplorer Tom Distillery in Moanaroane has been sitting there since 1870 looking very smug about its red brick and camber-headed windows. It used to churn out 600,000 gallons of whiskey before Prohibition shut it down, which is basically what happens to my liver every weekend. A real industrial hero.
GlasslynHouse · 763 ydExplorer Tom Glasslyn in Cloghmacsimon is part of a historic terrace but has a tiny shopfront that looks like it’s trying to whisper instead of shout. It moved its door and window into one unit, which is either clever or just lazy. Whisper a secret to the bricks.
Bandon DistilleryDistillery · 772 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bandon Distillery in Moanarone bragged about surviving a storm that broke all the other roofs. George Allman built it in 1825, and it still looks like it's waiting for a drink. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
mill (water)775 ydExplorer Tom Mill in Moanaroane was actually Allman's Distillery, churning out 600,000 gallons of whiskey back in 1886. Now it’s just ruins with a huge wheel story attached. Find the spot where the steam engine used to roar!
