Planet Leisure CentreChildren's playground · 320 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Planet Leisure Centre has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
bridge637 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Kilbarry was built by men who knew how to stack stone like pancakes. It’s been carrying trains since 1848 without complaining once. Get there ear
Wayside shrine641 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom This Wayside shrine in County Cork is playing hide-and-seek with history. Nothing written down, just vibes and whispers. It’s probably hiding a secret love letter from 1750. Check under the rocks!
Kilnap BridgeBridge · 651 ydExplorer Tom Kilnap Bridge spans a deep valley with putlog holes that look like the bridge has giant pockmarks. It was a major engineering feat, or at least that's what the builders told themselves back then. Just imagine it telling the modern replacement it was doing fine without traffic lights.
chimney658 ydExplorer Tom Chimney in Kilnap is a brick tower that used to smell like industrial progress. Now it just stands there tapering off into the sky, looking suspiciously like a giant finger pointing at God. Bring your imagination and pretend you can still hear the mill grinding grain down below.
Kilnap ViaductViaduct · 684 ydExplorer Tom Kilnap Viaduct is made of stone so sturdy it probably hasn't moved since the mid-nineteenth century. Twist your neck to check if there's a local hiding in the arches, but don't hold your breath.
Glennamought BridgeBridge · 706 ydExplorer Tom Glennamought Bridge is low, long, and full of itself about its stonemasonry skills. The parapet walls look like they've been posing for photos for years. A good place to forge a friendship with a local goat.
Kilnap Glen HouseHouse · 735 ydExplorer Tom Kilnap Glen House has stained glass that probably costs more than my car and timber windows with decorative tracery that make it look like a fairytale. Bring a notebook, because you’ll need to write down how fancy it is.
Children's playground843 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Standing stone in Carhoo (cork By.)Standing stone · 971 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Standing stone in Carhoo holds the record for leaning slightly north while looking at Cork City. The ground around it is eroded by cattle who clearly need boundaries. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Delaney Brothers MonumentMonument · 1018 ydExplorer Tom Delaney Brothers Monument in Ballincolly marks two young lads from the War of Independence. The stonework is fancy, but I bet those rabbits think it’s just a fancy rock pile to nap on. Go at sunset.
Lavitts QuayMemorial · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Lavitts Quay has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
