Kiskeam BridgeBridge · 976 yd

Explorer Tom Kiskeam Bridge has three arches that look like they’re about to yawn over the river. Built in 1820 by craftsmen who clearly knew what they were doing with stone. Mind your step on those cutwaters!

Megalithic tomb in KnockavoreenMegalithic tomb · 1728 yd

Explorer Tom Megalithic tomb in Knockavoreen is now just a memory known as 'big stones' that are no longer big or stone. The priest who lost a bet here probably regrets it every time he walks past. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Fulacht fia in Doonasleen NorthFulacht fia · 1738 yd

Explorer Tom This fulacht fia in Doonasleen North got flattened in 1986 because someone had a lawnmower and no sense of history. If it won the lotto, it’d buy a bigger pile of dirt. Great spot to propose; or at least to propose lunch if you’re feeling realistic about your chances.

Doon BridgeBridge · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Doon Bridge is solid concrete that thinks it’s better than all the old stone bridges. The seagulls say it looks like a giant slab of toast. Tell it to stop flexing its engineering muscles, will you?

Nohaval WoodWood · 5.8 mi

Explorer Tom There’s a superstition in Nohaval Wood that if you whistle backwards, the crows will steal your sense of direction. I tested it once and ended up walking in circles for an hour. Bring a notebook and write down the bit I just made up.

St. Patrick's ChurchVisitor information · 8.8 mi

Explorer Tom St. Patrick's Church has an ongoing feud with the rain because it keeps getting wet and grumpy. The building looks like it’s trying to shake off a dog after a bath. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up quickly.

Three CountiesPicnic place · 8.9 mi

Explorer Tom Three Counties in County Cork is a picnic spot right on the border of Limerick and Kerry, so you can eat a sandwich while technically visiting three places at once. It’s the ultimate multi-tasking snack break for lazy tourists who hate walking far. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Claragh MountainMountain / peak · 9.1 mi

Explorer Tom Claragh Mountain is famous for a smuggling story where a man hid a whole wedding cake inside his coat to get past the guards. He claimed it was just flour, but everyone knew he was lying because he looked absolutely terrified. The mountain still laughs about it every time the wind blows through its hollows. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Rowan9.6 mi

Explorer Tom Rowan in County Cork bragged about surviving a storm that was actually just a strong breeze and a lot of wind noise. But hey, confidence is key. Take the long way round, because it deserves the effort.

Caherbarnagh nw TopMountain / peak · 9.8 mi

Explorer Tom Caherbarnagh nw Top would review its visitors as 'adequate, though one lost a shoe'. It sits quietly in the northwest corner, judging everyone who thinks they can conquer it in flip-flops. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.

Kilmeedy CastleCastle, tower house · 10 mi

Explorer Tom Kilmeedy Castle was designed by a mother-in-law who really needed everyone to know where the door was, so she added a murder hole right above it. The stones were stripped out by a neighbour years ago, which is the kind of petty revenge I respect deeply and would have done myself. Have a look and decide if I was lying about the whole

Kilmurry CastleCastle · 10 mi

Explorer Tom Kilmurry Castle was designed by a mother-in-law who really, really hated your family's taste in furniture. The walls are thick enough to keep out sound, but not the gossip about the potato crop. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
