Coolkellure HouseCountry house · 589 ydExplorer Tom Coolkellure House was once the subject of a bad poem about 'mud and mud and more mud,' which really killed its romance. The Shuldham family probably hated it, but the house doesn’t care; it just stands there in style. Read that poem out loud somewhere quiet.
Grave YardGraveyard · 987 ydExplorer Tom Graveyard in Dromdrasdil has no official description uploaded yet, so we’re guessing it’s just another quiet corner of Dromdrasdil. The archives are still catching up with the records. If you see any headstones or weird mounds, let me know what they say.
St. Edmund's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 987 ydExplorer Tom St. Edmund's Church in Dromdrasdil would make Saint Patrick roll his eyes so hard they hit the ceiling. It’s a Gothic Revival beauty funded by gentry who thought they owned the whole parish. Twist your hat and bow to the Earl, not me.
Enclosure in DromdrasdilEnclosure · 1199 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Dromdrasdil is a small circular area with a scarp and an earthen bank that's overgrown and dumped with field clearance stones. It has a break to the southwest, which might be an entrance or just a hole where someone dropped their lunch and never picked it up!
Nowen HillMountain / peak · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Nowen Hill really hates that one guy in the red hat who keeps shouting at the sheep from the farm below, so it fogs up specifically for him to annoy him. It’s a small hill with big feelings, honestly. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Milane HillMountain / peak · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Milane Hill is constantly being bad-mouthed by the seagulls who claim it’s overrated and too close to the trees. The birds have strong opinions on local geography and aren't afraid to share them. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Togher CastleCastle, tower house · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Togher Castle in An Tóchar has a ghost who is too lazy to haunt anything more than the ground floor because climbing the spiral stairs is simply too much effort for a spirit. It sits on the Bandon river bank looking like it just woke up from a very long nap. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Dunmanway Heritage CentreVisitor information · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Dunmanway Heritage Centre would be the uncle at a wedding who knows too much history and won’t stop talking about his great-grandfather’s boat. It’s all about the stories, the gossip, and the slightly damp atmosphere that makes you feel like you’re in a film. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Funmanway Adventure LandHeritage attraction · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Funmanway Adventure Land has a legend about a fiddler who played so loud he made the swings spin themselves all night long. Nobody’s checked if it’s true, but the locals swear they can still hear the tune. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Graveyard in Dunmanway NorthGraveyard · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Dunmanway North has a family tree that’s mostly made up of rumours and one very confused cousin who moved away. It’s got that mysterious aura that makes you wonder if it’s hiding something or just really bad at small talk. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
Mohona WoodWood · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Mohona Wood in County Cork gave up its best secrets for Lent and now feels a bit hollow without them. It’s spent all spring trying to remember if it was supposed to be a sacred grove or just a place where people lost their keys. Bring someone who'll believe anything.
Castle Donovan (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Castle Donovan in Castledonovan, County Cork is showing off its full height, despite losing a corner like it was nothing. Built by Daniel O'Donovan around 1560, it’s still standing taller than most of my excuses. Wave to the river if you can!
