Explorer Tom Mound in Dromderrig is perched high on Compass Hill, looking down at Kinsale. The Spanish used it as a firing platform during the 1601 siege. It’s pretty eroded now, but you can still see the faint depression where they stood and shot.
Ringrone CastleCastle · 1022 ydExplorer Tom Ringrone Castle is just a wall standing by itself near the Bandon river. Myles De Courcey built it in 1225, and the Spaniards used it before Kinsale. It’s not much left, but it’s still got that de Courcy attitude. Wave at the wall!
Ringrone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1026 ydExplorer Tom Ringrone Castle in Castlelands, County Cork is just a fragment of a wall overlooking the Bandon river. Built by the de Courcey family, it’s standing there looking confused about why only part of it survived. Wave to the river mouth for me, it likes attention!
Stork's NestHouse · 1104 ydExplorer Tom Stork's Nest in Dromderrig sounds like a bird problem I want to solve. It overlooks Kinsale from 1780, which is impressive. Peek through the window and tell me if there are feathers everywhere.
almshouse1121 ydExplorer Tom Almshouse in Dromderrig was built for widows back in 1682 by Sir Robert Southwell. Now it houses elderly folks, so it’s basically a grandpa’s house. In a job interview, it would say: 'I’ve got experience with quiet people.' Bring your patience.

Battle of KinsaleMajor battlefield · 1287 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Kinsale in County Cork was just a long, wet siege where everyone waited for help that never really showed up. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Old FortBastioned fort · 1659 ydExplorer Tom Old Fort in Kinsale is a bastioned fort built on top of an old tower named Castle Parks, which sounds like a very dull pub. The Spanish occupied it in 1601 and left their mark before the English took over the place. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
