Marybrook HouseHouse · 391 ydExplorer Tom Marybrook House has a medieval tower core with diminishing windows, so get smaller as you go up. The machicolation is real, but the giant legend isn't. Stand tall and look confused.
Field system in SubulterField system · 1060 ydExplorer Tom Field system in Subulter: Ten hectares of invisible lines that only show up when the crops get grumpy. It’s like a giant aerial Sudoku puzzle you can’t solve from the ground. Mind the nettles, they’re the real guards here.
Ballyheen PiersGates/railings/walls · 1208 ydExplorer Tom Ballyheen Piers in Ballyheen North are standing guard for a house that never actually showed up. They’ve got ball finials on top that are just vibing with no roofline. Two lonely giants, really. Say hi to them.
LisnaleentaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1378 ydExplorer Tom Lisnaleenta is basically a giant earthen donut that got left out in the rain too long. It’s got two big gaps where the farm track cuts straight through its dignity like a hot knife. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
European Yew1.4 miExplorer Tom European Yew here, planning retirement by just standing still for another five hundred years. It says it's saving up leaves for a big trip to the afterlife. Stick around for the light changing, it's a slow burn show.
Burial ground in AssolasBurial ground · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Burial ground in Assolas, County Cork, is just a dip in the ground with no markers, which is very polite for a place full of dead soldiers. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
Graveyard in Ballygiblin (duhallow By.)Graveyard · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Ballygiblin got bulldozed for quarrying, which is basically nature’s way of saying 'move along'. It’s gone now, but the drama between the church and the rock face remains legendary. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
Castle Magner (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Castle Magner in Castlemagner, County Cork is mostly a pile of rubble with one corner standing tall. The bawn is occupied by a farmyard now, so the cows have more power than the knights ever did. Check if the machicolation corbels are still hanging on!
Kanturk CastleHeritage attraction · 3.5 mi.jpg/250px-Castles_of_Munster-_Lisgriffin,_Cork_(geograph_3036422).jpg "Photo: Mike Searle, Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 2.0")
Lisgriffin CastleCastle · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Lisgriffin Castle in County Cork is just standing there with a look that says 'I have seen things.' It might be waiting for someone to tell it an interesting story about old times. Tell me what you see!
Battle of LiscarrollMajor battlefield · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Battle of Liscarroll in County Cork is where Irish Confederates and Royalists had a go, mostly because they couldn't agree on who was right. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
