Anne's GroveGate lodge · 770 ydExplorer Tom Anne's Grove gate lodge was designed by Benjamin Woodward, who only made two of these castle-style things. It’s got finely carved limestone dressings and sits prominently at a junction of three roads. Ten minutes away from looking like you know exactly what a gate lodge is for, so just nod politely.
Ballywalter BridgeBridge · 955 ydExplorer Tom Ballywalter Bridge is showing off its local craftsmanship skills, mixing rough stone with super fine voussoirs. It smells like wet history. Snap a shot for the album!
Old GraveyardBurial ground · 1023 ydExplorer Tom Old Graveyard in Annesgrove is the private burial ground for the Grove families. It's enclosed by a stone wall and entered from the east. A short cist sits at the end! Mind the history here!

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Castle in Ballynamona is a four-storey tower near the Awbeg River. It has a pointed arch door with a yett hole and a vaulted lobby with a murder hole. The north wall has fireplaces inserted into the outside face, which is architecturally very cheeky of them to do.
Pedunculate Oak3.7 miExplorer Tom Pedunculate Oak in County Cork claims there’s a shortcut through the roots, but it’s definitely not a shortcut. It’s more of a spiritual journey. Tell it a joke, because it’s been a long time since anyone did.
Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Scots Pine4.1 miExplorer Tom Scots Pine in County Cork has a bird living in it that refuses to leave, even though there’s no food or water. Pure stubbornness. It’s the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday suddenly interesting.
Doneraile CourtOrnamental canal/lake · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Doneraile Court's ornamental canal in Demesne is still flowing, which makes it better than most office jobs. It has small stone bridges and inlet channels, so it’s a water system with style. If it had a job interview, it would say 'I am decorative and functional.' Stare at the water, think deep thoughts.
Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.
Grave YardGraveyard · 6.1 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Marshalstown has two church ruins, one older than the other. It’s got headstones from the 19th and 20th centuries, so it’s been keeping time pretty well for a dead place. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
