Tower BridgeBridge · 546 ydExplorer Tom Tower Bridge is a four-arch road bridge from 1820 that spans the Blarney River. It has an additional square-headed opening for the railway line, which is a nice historical layer. The V-cutwaters are designed to protect the structure from water impact, so it’s built to last.
Maranatha HouseGuest house/b&b · 979 ydExplorer Tom Maranatha House in Kilnamucky used to host Turkish baths and billiards. It holds a fake record for most tea consumed by invalids. Perfect spot for a nap, but don't tell the ghosts you're resting.
Site of Grave YardBurial ground · 1524 ydExplorer Tom Site of graveyard in Kilnamucky is just a low undulation in a field, looking very unimpressed by history. No grave markers means you have to use your imagination, or ask a farmer for directions. Don't dig too deep!
Blarney lake bird nest islandIslet · 1565 ydLion RockNamed rock · 1637 ydSt Anns WellHoly well · 1656 ydExplorer Tom St Anns Well in Kilnamucky was used for a hydropathic establishment and is now covered in concrete. Some say it's named after Santan, a disciple of Finbarr, but honestly, I'm not sure who Santan even is!
Western Redcedar1.1 miExplorer Tom Western Redcedar in County Cork has had so many names it needs a spreadsheet to keep track. Take a mate and argue about what it was for until one of you cries.
Cappadocian maple1.2 miExplorer Tom Cappadocian maple is round like a top, which makes it look like it rolled into the garden and decided to stay. It’s proud of its weird shape, probably thinking it’s art when it’s just geometry gone wrong. Pick a stone nearby, any stone, and invent its biography; it’ll believe you.

Blarney Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Blarney Castle in County Cork has two distinct tower phases, which is like wearing two coats at once because you forgot what the weather was. If it rains, blame me for not checking the forecast properly.
Blarney CastleHeritage attraction · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Blarney Castle. It’s not just a pretty face, it’s a fortress with a history thick as a brick. Built in 1446 by the MacCarthy of Muskerry, a cadet branch of the Kings of Desmond, this place has seen some proper drama. You’re standing on the site of earlier fortifications, but this keep is the real deal. The Blarney Stone sits right up in the machicolations, which is fancy talk for the holes where they dropped stuff on invaders. Story goes you kiss it for eloquence, but be warned: it’s a bit of a scramble. You’ll see the stone, the walls, and a lot of people trying not to fall off. I’m just here to add my two cents, or rather, my one kiss. Don’t say I didn’t warn you about the neck.
Carrigrohane Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Carrigrohane Castle sits on a sheer limestone cliff looking very dramatic over the Lee river. It's had a lot of alterations, including a corner tower and some gun loops. I think it's been ransacked more than once!
