Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of JesusChurch/chapel · 189 yd

Explorer Tom Catholic Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus in Mogeely was built in 1909 with some serious stone masonry skills. The battered bell tower and rusticated limestone make it look like it’s ready to defend its turf. Check out the snecked stonework!

Explorer Tom Level crossing in Mogeely is a railway relic from 1860 that stopped running in 1963 but still stands there like it’s got somewhere to be. It’s rare now because everyone replaced them with bridges, which are just boring overpasses. A good place to pretend you’re catching the last train to nowhere.

Castlemartyr CastleCastle · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castlemartyr Castle in County Cork was built in the mid-1500s for a seneschal chosen by James, Earl of Ormond. It's now a ruin next to a luxury hotel. Take a pic for me of that peaceful yet turbulent vibe!

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Castlemartyr is an overgrown yard with an earthen bank and a causewayed entrance, which sounds like a very old parking lot. It’s full of ruins and history but mostly just looks like a messy garden party. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Ballintotis Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Ballintotis Castle is standing to full height in level pasture, which means it hasn’t fallen over yet, so it’s doing better than most of my relationships. It’s a small square tower with a pointed arch that’s lost its jambs. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Explorer Tom St Laurences Well in Garrylaurence has been doing this for two hundred years and still looks fresh off the block. It’s got a concrete roof, which is a bit of a fashion crime, but hey, it works. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
