Fuming Room

Explorer Tom Charles Fort stables are actually just public conveniences now, but they were officer’s stables back in 1750. They’re sitting inside the fort with cobbled surfaces around them. It’s a bit of a downgrade from military glory, I think!

Explorer Tom Charlesfort Lighthouse has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a lighthouse with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Kinsale Harbour has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a bay with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom James' Fort in Kinsale is a pentagonal beauty from the early 1600s sitting right on the harbour. It looks like it’s waiting for a pirate party. Snap a photo of that castlepark peninsula view!

Explorer Tom Old Fort is sitting on Kinsale Harbour like a grumpy grandpa. The Spanish strengthened it back in 1601, which feels ancient to me. Mind the private land, yeah?

Explorer Tom World War I Memorial has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Scilly Park has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Actons Gardens has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Ringrone Castle in Castlelands, County Cork is just a fragment of a wall overlooking the Bandon river. Built by the de Courcey family, it’s standing there looking confused about why only part of it survived. Wave to the river mouth for me, it likes attention!

Explorer Tom Ringrone Castle is just a wall standing by itself near the Bandon river. Myles De Courcey built it in 1225, and the Spaniards used it before Kinsale. It’s not much left, but it’s still got that de Courcy attitude. Wave at the wall!

Explorer Tom Battle of Kinsale has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a major battlefield with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Explorer Tom Sandy Cove Island has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
