Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 115 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Wallingstown is a four-storey tower that got stuck in an industrial estate like a tourist in the wrong airport. It’s watching the trucks go by with a mix of disdain and confusion. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Fulacht fia in Castleview (barrymore By.)Fulacht fia · 779 yd

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Castleview has two conjoined unlined pits divided by a stone slab. It looks like they were trying to boil two things at once and got confused. Check the stake-holes for me, be careful!

Dunsland CottageWorker's house · 1006 yd

Explorer Tom Dunsland Cottage in Kilcoolishal has a plaque that says 'Dread Shame', which is excellent advice for anyone dating. The matchmaker who worked there probably had a list of names three pages long and zero mercy. It’s got Arts and Crafts detailing that makes it look like it cares about its appearance.

Mount PatrickHouse · 1083 yd

Explorer Tom Mount Patrick in Kilcoolishal has limestone steps that really sell the grandeur thing. Built in 1810, it’s a villa style with bay windows and a Gothic gate lodge that doesn't quite fit the rest of the party. Very confusing architecture, but I like it.

Dunsland HouseCountry house · 1149 yd

Explorer Tom Dunsland House in Kilcoolishal had a fire and got rebuilt in the 1920s. There’s a circular bit that might be an old windmill. It’s all very picturesque, like a painting that forgot how to move around.

Lough MahonBay · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Lough Mahon sounds like a quiet inland lake, and then the tide comes in to correct me. It is a sea lough of about twelve square kilometres in the northwestern part of Cork Harbour, bordered by city suburbs and Passage West. Little Island is to the north, Great Island to the east. Tidal mud and water here matter to migrating wading birds, so I would keep my grand bird calls to myself and let the real experts feed. Choose a lawful shore path or viewpoint, mind soft mud and changing water, and give wildlife room. Watch the pattern of exposed ground shift with the tide. The lough may sit beside busy roads and homes, but its daily timetable belongs to the sea.

Icehouse in DunkettleIcehouse · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Icehouse in Dunkettle sits on the Glashaboy River bank near a boat slip, built back in the 1700s to keep things frosty. It’s got strong opinions about modern heating systems that clearly don’t understand tradition. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

The Tower (Barn)Castle · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom The Tower (Barn) was built as a threshing mill but looks like it just gave up on the job mid-sentence. I bet the architect was thinking about his holiday and forgot to finish the roof properly. Bring along a dog, because he’s definitely going to have strong opinions about this whole situation.

Ginkgo2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Ginkgo in County Cork is the dino of trees that refuses to evolve or die. It’s just standing there looking smug while the rest of us panic. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you’re in a very expensive painting.

Bhutan Cypress2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Bhutan Cypress is stuck in County Cork, which is like finding a penguin in Texas; it’s out of place but doing its best. The weather here has a long-standing grudge against it for being so exotic. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you’re lost or just confused.

Marino PointHeadland · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Marino Point in County Cork used to be ruled by a goat named Gerald who demanded tribute in exchange for not eating the fertiliser bags. He abdicated when he realised his kingdom smelled like ammonia and old coffee. Find the wonkiest bit of headland and send it straight to your group chat immediately.

Passage West Maritime MuseumMuseum · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Passage West Maritime Museum in County Cork would survive a zombie attack by hiding inside its own exhibits and pretending to be a very old boat model. It’s packed into a tiny space with so much history that the walls are probably creaking under the weight of all those stories. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?
