Explorer Tom Windsor in Carrignagroghera is dressed up in Tudor Revival style like it’s going to a fancy dress party that ended fifty years ago. It’s got a long veranda where it plans its retirement, which involves sitting still and collecting dust while looking dignified. Best seen with a cup of tea.

Explorer Tom Coolmore in Fermoy is holding the fake world record for having the most symmetrical brick stacks in County Cork, according to me anyway. The ridge crestings are doing their best impression of a Victorian hairdo gone wrong. Toast it with a pint of Guinness, not water!

Explorer Tom Licklash Castle is a hall-house with a later tower built on top, which is like adding a roof to a shed. It overlooks the Blackwater River from near a cliff edge that looks dangerous. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket just in case.

Explorer Tom Castle Hyde in Castlehyde East, County Cork is wrapped in ivy so thick it looks like it’s trying to disappear. Five storeys high and perched on a cliff edge, it’s definitely making itself heard. Check if that triangular spur is still lurking in the corner!

Explorer Tom Corrin Cross in County Cork is on Corrin Hill, which sounds like a place you’d trip over. It’s just a cross standing up there. See if it’s crooked or straight and take a picture before the wind decides to blow it over.
