Derreeney HouseCountry house · 311 yd

Explorer Tom Derreeney House has caught my eye in Derreeny, County Cork. I bet a country house 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.

post box437 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Derreeny has a Queen Victoria monogram and crown motif set into a rubble stone wall from 1890. It’s a physical reminder of the colonial past. W.T. Allen & Co made it. Take a close-up of that insignia!

Caheragh Burial GroundGraveyard · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Caheragh Burial Ground was once a church that vanished by 1699. Now it’s just a walled patch in the pasture where people still bury their relatives, so don't be too nosy.

Skeagh CairnArchaeological place · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Skeagh Cairn in County Cork is a big pile of stones that's decided to stay put, which is more than I can say for my motivation. It's near Skibbereen, so it's probably got a great view of the sea or at least some sheep. Wave at the cairn!

Kilcoe Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 8.0 mi

Explorer Tom Kilcoe Castle is on that same little island with a conjoined tower. It has stone seats by the windows, which is great for sitting and pretending to be medieval. The stairs go up to the third floor. Watch your step; the past can be slippery.

Kilcoe CastleCastle · 8.0 mi

Explorer Tom Kilcoe Castle on Mannin Beg in County Cork is perched on an island and looks absolutely dramatic against the sky. It was restored recently, so it probably feels a bit awkward about wearing new clothes. Take a wide shot.
