Blarney PlaygroundChildren's playground · 108 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Blarney 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.
Welcome to KillardVisitor information · 489 ydExplorer Tom Welcome to Killard has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information 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.
Children's playground709 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Blarney Woollen MillsFactory · 725 ydExplorer Tom Blarney Woollen Mills in Shean Lower is a modern factory from nineteen-forty looking a bit confused among its older cousins. It’s got saw-tooth roofs to catch the light like a sunbathing lizard. It probably thinks it’s way cooler than the brick buildings next door.
Blarney HouseGate lodge · 753 ydExplorer Tom Blarney House gate lodge in Shean Lower has griffins on the gable ends that look ready for takeoff. The terracotta ridge cresting adds a bit of flair to the masonry. Bring your A-game if you’re going to check it out.
European Yew767 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in Cork is being gossiped about by seagulls who say it's actually two trees pretending to be one. They're probably right because I can't tell where one ends. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
European Beech854 ydExplorer Tom European Beech in County Cork does absolutely nothing when nobody's looking except judge your shoes. It stands there looking fancy while the mud tries to eat its ankles. Go in good boots and better humour.
Indicated (1937) Not shownDesigned landscape, belvedere · 913 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom (1937) Not shown in Blarney is a roofless circular tower built atop an earlier structure. It’s got a jagged east end that forms part of a doorway, which sounds like a bad haircut. The name 'Not shown' suggests it’s shy and prefers to stay hidden from the public gaze. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Blarney Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 958 ydExplorer Tom Blarney Castle in County Cork has two distinct tower phases, which is like wearing two coats at once because you forgot what the weather was. If it rains, blame me for not checking the forecast properly.
Fulacht fia in Shean UpperFulacht fia · 979 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht fia in Shean Upper was dug up for housing development. They found troughs, a fire pit, and burnt bone. Modern builders trampled an ancient BBQ! I hope the new homeowners don't cook on it again by accident.
Badgers CaveCave · 1006 ydExplorer Tom Badgers Cave has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a cave 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.
Clogheenmilcon FenVisitor information · 1109 ydExplorer Tom Clogheenmilcon Fen has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information 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.
