Explorer Tom Dromore School is an L-plan relic from 1886 that used to educate local kids. Now it’s just two private houses pretending to be normal. The history is thick here. Get a photo for me!

Explorer Tom St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church in Dromore is the largest building in the village and sits on an elevated site. It was built to replace an earlier church, so it’s basically the big brother that took over the house. It would complain to the council about the lack of parking and the noise from the kids.

Explorer Tom Castle Donovan in County Cork was damaged by Cromwell's army back in 1650. It's on a rocky outcrop now undergoing repair. Take a photo for me if you can see the battle scars still lingering!

Explorer 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!

Explorer Tom Gallauns in Kealkill are five stones doing a tight little circle on the bog shoulder. Go in good boots and better humour, because that bog is not your friend at all.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Lisheen contains the ruins of Kilmocomogne church and a holy well to the south, which makes for a great combo tour. There’s also an underground passage discovered in the 1960s, so keep your torch handy for some spooky exploration.

Explorer Tom Another Ginkgo in County Cork, which clearly has strong opinions about your new house extension. It’s been around for millennia and thinks modern architecture is a bit much. Go back in winter, because then it’s a totally different animal.
