Explorer Tom Kill B Gd (Children) (Disused) in Gokane is overgrown so thick it could hide a small dragon. The name says children, but let's keep our imaginations tidy for once. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

Bullock IslandIslet · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Cloghan Castle on Castle Island is just a corner of tower standing on a mound now. The O Driscolls built it, but it collapsed around 1870. I bet the wicker vault springs are still visible if you look hard enough.
Lough Ine HouseHunting/fishing lodge · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Lough Ine House in Ballyisland was Lord Carbery’s hunting lodge, so expect the ghosts to be wearing tweed and smelling of old pheasants. It overlooks Lough Hyne, which is lovely unless you’re the one being hunted by a spectral stag. Stand there long enough and you’ll start whistling for your hounds.
quay/wharf1.8 miExplorer Tom Quay or wharf in Ballyoughtera is part of Lough Hyne's nature reserve and was built to help boats that definitely didn't have GPS back then. It displays fine craftsmanship, which is just a polite way of saying the masons had good arms. Bring sandwiches because you're going to be sitting there watching the water do nothing.
Shour WellHoly well · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Shour Well in Highfield is right by the road near Lough Hyne, looking very official with its white wall. There are quartz pebbles and a decorated hawthorn tree behind it. Still holy use? Take a pic!
