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.
Dunsland CottageWorker's house · 1006 ydExplorer Tom Dunsland Cottage is a worker’s house from 1890 that thinks it’s an aristocrat because of the 'Dread Shame' plaque. It’s got Arts and Crafts details that are just too fancy for their own good.
Mount PatrickHouse · 1083 ydExplorer 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.
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, belvedere · 1161 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Kilcoolishal is a belvedere with no info uploaded, which is just rude! It’s probably a nice view point overlooking the countryside. Go find it and see if the view lives up to the hype!
Lough MahonBay · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Lough Mahon has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a bay 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.
Church (Site of)Church · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Church in Kilcoolishal was built with stone and clay, then decided to half-collapse for good measure. A bad poem was written about it once, and honestly, the church deserved it. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the silence shut them up.
Children's playground1.2 miComputer-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.
The Tower (Barn)Castle · 1.5 miExplorer Tom The Tower (Barn) in County Cork is actually a threshing mill from the 1840s. It's been pretending to be a castle, which I find highly suspicious and cheeky.
Little Island PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Little Island 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.
Ginkgo2.2 miExplorer 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 miExplorer 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 miExplorer Tom Marino Point has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a headland 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.
