mausoleum24 yd

Explorer Tom The Jackson family mausoleum in Killathy is having a full-on classical mood swing with its Doric columns and carved arches. It’s basically a fancy box for people who didn’t want to be buried in a trench. If it rains, blame your umbrella.

creamery1673 yd

Explorer Tom Creamery in Gortroche, County Cork is a disused ghost from 1930 with corrugated iron walls and metal ventilators. It’s rare, so peek at it and send me a snapshot!

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.

Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.

Graveyard in BoherashGraveyard · 3.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

St Bernards WellHoly well · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom St Bernards Well in Duntahane is right by the River Blackwater and was nearly sold for a horse. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Corrin CrossMonument · 4.3 mi

Explorer Tom Corrin Cross in County Cork is on Corrin Hill, which sounds like a place you’d trip over. It’s just a cross standing up there. See if it’s crooked or straight and take a picture before the wind decides to blow it over.
