St Patrick's Church Of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 913 ydExplorer Tom St Patrick's Church Of Ireland Church in Farranthomas was built for £507 and change by Board of First Fruits. Thomas Ware donated the site because he liked the view. Tell me if the tower looks like it’s about to tip over.
Ahadine BridgeBridge · 1099 ydExplorer Tom Ahadine Bridge in Sranaviddoge is solid masonry that wouldn’t pass a job interview today. It’s been doing the same job since the 1800s and hates it. Ge-tar to its side and grin.
Green HillMountain / peak · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Cloigtheach in Sleenoge has a unique hexagonal base that makes it look like it was built by someone who really liked geometry. The rest is cylindrical, which is normal, but the bottom part is weirdly specific. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, because honestly, who else does?
Fort RobertArchaeological place · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Fort Robert is actually a ruined house from 1788! Built by R.L. Connor. It’s all crumbling slates and history. Take a photo for me to see how much of that grand house is left.
Tower (in Ruins)Bawn · 7.7 miExplorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.
Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 7.7 miExplorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.
Explorer Tom Kilmichael Ambush in County Cork is where the rabbits think the soldiers were just having a very aggressive game of hide-and-seek. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID.
Sessile Oak9.4 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.
