Charles FortStables · 21 ydExplorer 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!
Charlesfort LighthouseLighthouse · 163 ydExplorer 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.
Ringcurran Burial GroundBurial ground · 177 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ringcurran Burial Ground is another one next to Charles Fort, this time with a Trinity well just outside. The grave markers are concentrated on the south side, which is odd. Maybe the people preferred that spot for some reason.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ClonleighFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 955 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Clonleigh is levelled except for one side, so it’s like a circle that got sliced by a cheese knife. The seagulls say it’s 'overrated' but they’re biased because they can’t land. Go back in winter; it’s a different animal then, colder and grumpier.
Kinsale HarbourBay · 1003 ydExplorer 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.
World War I MemorialMemorial · 1584 ydExplorer 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.
Scilly ParkGarden · 1739 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Actons GardensGarden · 1.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Ringrone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.3 miExplorer 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!
Ringrone CastleCastle · 1.3 miExplorer 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!
Battle of KinsaleMajor battlefield · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Battle of Kinsale in County Cork was just a long, wet siege where everyone waited for help that never really showed up. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
KnockrushMountain / peak · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockrush has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
