Explorer Tom Lion Rock has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a named rock 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.
Western Redcedar318 ydExplorer Tom Western Redcedar in County Cork has had so many names it needs a spreadsheet to keep track. Take a mate and argue about what it was for until one of you cries.
Blarney HouseKiln · 362 ydExplorer Tom Blarney House kiln in Blarney is actually a limekiln, which is rare and cool. It’s part of the big demesne setup with the gate lodges and farmyard. Grand piece of industrial history that’s still standing proud.
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 373 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Designed landscape in Monacnapa would cope on a reality show by just standing there and looking confused while the cameras zoom in. It’s a tree-ring with no manual, so make up the rules as you go. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Poison GardenGarden · 393 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Poison Garden has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.
Badgers CaveCave · 410 ydExplorer Tom Badgers Cave has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a cave 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.
Blarney Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 456 ydExplorer Tom Blarney Castle in County Cork has two distinct tower phases, which is like wearing two coats at once because you forgot what the weather was. If it rains, blame me for not checking the forecast properly.
Stone of EloquenceHeritage attraction · 458 ydExplorer Tom Stone of Eloquence has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
Country house in BlarneyCountry house · 479 ydExplorer Tom Country house in Blarney has an imaginary twin across the sea that owes it money. They argue about who is more dramatic. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.
Cappadocian maple494 ydExplorer Tom Cappadocian maple is round like a top, which makes it look like it rolled into the garden and decided to stay. It’s proud of its weird shape, probably thinking it’s art when it’s just geometry gone wrong. Pick a stone nearby, any stone, and invent its biography; it’ll believe you.
Indicated (1937) Not shownDesigned landscape, belvedere · 504 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom (1937) Not shown in Blarney is a roofless circular tower built atop an earlier structure. It’s got a jagged east end that forms part of a doorway, which sounds like a bad haircut. The name 'Not shown' suggests it’s shy and prefers to stay hidden from the public gaze. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Blarney LakeVisitor information · 731 ydExplorer Tom Blarney Lake has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information 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.
