Glansheskin WoodVisitor information · 142 ydKilworth WoodWood · 503 ydKnockbrack HouseHouse · 745 yd

Explorer Tom Knockbrack House is sitting pretty in its landscaped grounds, facing south like it knows best. Built c. 1880, it’s got a conservatory now, which is a nice modern twist on the old roughcast walls. It’s not looking at the road!

Killally HouseHouse · 854 yd

Explorer Tom Killally House has a porch that’s basically the main event here. It’s plain but with a fancy hat on top. Ask it what 'Killally' really means, I think it means 'sleepy'.

Kilworth Chiropractic ClinicMarket house · 1483 yd

Explorer Tom Market house in Kilworth was donated by an Earl who probably wanted to show off his wealth with limestone arcades. It used to sell cattle, now it sells chiropractic services, which feels like a downgrade. It's funny how history changes things, no?

Licklash Castle (in Ruins)Castle, hall-house · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Licklash Castle is a hall-house with a later tower built on top, which is like adding a roof to a shed. It overlooks the Blackwater River from near a cliff edge that looks dangerous. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket just in case.

FlagCave · 2.9 miOld Railway ViaductViewpoint · 3.0 miGraveyard in FermoyGraveyard · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Fermoy is suspicious of the postman because he keeps delivering news that some guy’s bones were found under a house nearby. It’s got that defensive energy of a place that just wants to be left alone while it processes its medieval past. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

St Bernards WellHoly well · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom St Bernards Well in Duntahane is right by the River Blackwater and was nearly sold for a horse. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 4.5 mi

Explorer Tom Dunmahon Castle is hiding a scandal behind its low walls, probably about who ate the last pie in 1600. The tower's invisible from the road, which is annoyingly clever of it. Snap one photo, then actually look.

Corrin CrossMonument · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom Corrin Cross in County Cork is on Corrin Hill, which sounds like a place you’d trip over. It’s just a cross standing up there. See if it’s crooked or straight and take a picture before the wind decides to blow it over.
