Explorer Tom Post box in Bawnmore is a cast-iron secret keeper from the late nineteenth century. It’s been hiding scandals since before Wi-Fi existed. Twist: give it a wink if you think it knows where your missing socks are.

kiln1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Kiln in Coolaniddane is an 1820s limekiln that’s been sitting by the roadside doing nothing for ages. It’s got limestone walls and a segmental arch that remind you of when people were burning rock for fun, or at least for mortar.

Macroom CastleCastle · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Macroom Castle in County Cork is posing for the cameras. It's part of the Munster collection, which sounds fancy. Don't let it know you're taking notes!

Macroom Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Macroom Castle was demolished to build a technical school, which is the kind of insult only Cork can pull off. It used to have two square towers that were just too much hassle. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face for the school.

Battle of MacroomBattle · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.

Bealick MillVisitor attraction · 3.4 miCarrigagulla Stone CircleArchaeological place · 3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigagulla Stone Circle in County Cork is north of Ballinagree and looks like it’s waiting for someone to start dancing. I bet they used to party hard here. Check if the circle is complete or if one stone ran off.

Explorer 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.

MusheraMountain / peak · 4.7 miKnocknakillaArchaeological place · 4.7 mi

Explorer Tom Knocknakilla is a megalithic complex between Macroom and Millstreet that looks like it’s been there forever. It’s got a very serious vibe about it. Don’t let it scare you, just be friendly.
