St Mary's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 12 yd

Explorer Tom St Mary's Church of Ireland Church in Knockmacool, County Cork was built for 553 pounds and extended later with an apse. I bet a fake royal visit happened there but nobody can prove it was real. Hum the national anthem if you feel bold enough!

Church Hill HouseHouse · 232 yd

Explorer Tom Church Hill House in Knockmacool is standing on its tiptoes since 1810, pretending it’s not just a fancy box with a slate roof. It thinks it’s the king of the hill. Bow if you see it!

Tobar MacloonaboySpring · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Tobar Macloonaboy makes a weird bubbling sound at night that sounds suspiciously like it’s laughing at your life choices. I could swear I heard a giggle last week. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.

The GlenWood · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom The Glen in County Cork is having a bit of a midlife crisis, whispering to the trees that replaced it that they're all just fancy shrubs with delusions of grandeur. It's got zero chill and the wind up there is absolutely rude about your haircut. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.

Corran HillMountain / peak · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Corran Hill hides a message in its stones if you squint hard enough, mostly because someone carved 'I was here' in 1890 and no one has fixed it since. The letters are barely visible now, which only adds to the mystery of who exactly was complaining about the wind back then. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.

Fort RobertArchaeological place · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Fort Robert is an archaeological site where a prophecy said a dragon would land here in 1994, but it never did and everyone just forgot about it afterwards without making a fuss. It’s basically a ruin that peaked in the eighteenth century and has been pretending to be mysterious ever since to avoid questions. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.

Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 4.5 mi

Explorer 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?

Green HillMountain / peak · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Green Hill must have been built using an obscene amount of tea, probably ten thousand cups to keep it green enough to look so fresh. It’s got that perpetually caffeinated vibe where it never seems to stop being vibrant. Just take a good look and see if I’m exaggerating its coffee-fueled glory.

Monteen Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Monteen Castle is a small ivy-clad tower near a river ford. It’s got vaults that don't quite reach the walls, which is architecturally embarrassing but charmingly lazy. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.

Monteen CastleRuins · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom Monteen Castle has a secret it would only tell after three pints of stout and a slice of brown bread. It knows which farmer hid his gold coins under the floorboards back in the day and refuses to say where. Ten minutes here will give you a great yarn for the pub tonight.

English holly5.1 mi

Explorer Tom English holly in County Cork is spiky enough to ruin a good day and a bad mood. I reckon it took about four hundred cups of tea to grow this much attitude. Tell it a joke, it hasn't laughed since 1994.

Castle RockNamed rock · 5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Rock caused such a massive row in the parish last Tuesday that three people are still not speaking to each other. Everyone has an opinion on whether it looks more like a castle or just a very angry boulder. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
