Luskin BridgeBridge · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Luskin Bridge in Clonmoyle East is simple but served a mill race long ago, so it’s got some history under its belt. The shortcut through it isn't a shortcut, it’s just a very slow walk with good views. It's not magic, it's just engineering that took its sweet time to build.

Ballinadihy BridgeBridge · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ballinadihy Bridge in Clonmoyle West has two arches that look like they’re judging your life choices from below. The name probably means 'Where You Forgot Your Shoes' if you ask me. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.

St Olans WellHoly well · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom St Olans Well is surrounded by stone and votive offerings, making it look a bit like an ancient jewelry box. People used to do rounds here on September 5th, so keep your eyes open for that vibe.

Carrignamuck Tower HouseCastle · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Carrignamuck Tower House in County Cork was breached by Lord Broghill in 1650. It's now in Dripsey Castle's grounds. Take a photo for me if you can find the hole in the east wall!

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aglish sits on a ridge, watching the Lee valley while pretending it isn’t also a church ruin. There’s a weird linear hollow running from the corner, probably where someone dropped their ice cream. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

Carrigadrohid CastleHeritage attraction · 4.7 miCarrigadrohid Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle is standing in water because someone decided to build a dam nearby. It's basically an island now, which is very dramatic. The MacCarthys built this back in the fifteenth century, so it's seen some stuff!
