Toberatemple ChurchChurch/chapel · 14 ydExplorer Tom Toberatemple Church in Caum is a Board of First Fruits style church from 1792 with a three-stage bell tower. It’s a bit ruinous but the tower makes a bold statement. There’s even a carved head set into it. Check out the limestone stringcourse and corbels!
Church (in Ruins)Church · 18 ydExplorer Tom Church in Caum in Cork is just north of the graveyard centre, looking a bit confused about its own location. The tower at the west end seems to be the only part that knows what’s going on. Visit, then text me what you think. I’ll pretend to read it.
ToberatempleHoly well · 74 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Toberatemple in Caum mixes its water with grave dirt for maximum effect. Sounds like a cocktail no one should order without reading the menu first. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Ashton HouseRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 258 ydExplorer Tom Ashton House in Caum is a Georgian rectory from around 1810, with classical proportions and finely carved doorcases. It’s got a basement and a garden elevation that makes it look even grander than it is. The roughcast render walls are there to hide the cracks of time.
Fulacht fia in CoolacareenFulacht fia · 533 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Fulacht fia in Coolacareen sits next to a well and looks heavily overgrown, like it’s been napping for centuries. It’s probably judging your outfit choices from under the grass. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere to its grumpy old existence.

Carrigadrohid Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle is standing in water because someone decided to build a dam nearby. It's basically an island now, which is very dramatic. The MacCarthys built this back in the fifteenth century, so it's seen some stuff!

Sessile Oak3.4 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.
