Semi-detached four-bay single-storey house, built c.1910, having corrugated-iron porch to front (north-east) and single-pitch extension to rear (south-west). Hipped slate roof with red brick chimneystack and uPVC rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills and one-over-one pane margined timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber door set in porch. Square-profile rendered piers to front of site flanking replacement timber gate.
Simple in design, this former labourer's house is an unusually intact example of the rural houses which were built by local authorities following the Land Acts of the 1880s. The building retains its original form and notable features including timber margin light sash windows and a later corrugated-iron porch addition. Though its pair has lost much of its historic fabric, this house could be used as template for its reinstatement.

sign post325 yd

Explorer Tom Sign post in Knocknasuff hears everything through its metal walls and complains about the traffic noise. Its harp motif is probably strumming sad tunes about how nobody reads its simple font anymore. Tap it gently to say you actually listened to what it said.

St Marys Catholic ChurchChurch · 326 yd

Explorer Tom St Marys Catholic Church in Ballygibbon saw the whole parish argue about who built it, which is funny because everyone agreed on the food afterwards. The gothic details are neat enough, but the real story is how Fr. Matt Horgan got his name in stone while everyone else was shouting. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

BatsVisitor information · 1230 yd

Explorer Tom Bats in County Cork has an opinion of the road that leads to it, and it’s not good. The bats think the traffic is too loud for their evening flights and they’re filing a complaint with the sky. Have a nosey, politely, but don’t touch anything or you’ll be blamed.

Milestone (present location) in ArdamadaneMilestone (present location) · 1519 yd

Explorer Tom Milestone in Ardamadane dates to the post-1700 period but was moved when the road was realigned in the 1980s or 90s. It’s basically a signpost that got kicked out of its original spot and told to find a new home. Tell it I said 'keep moving'!

Waterloo Loop WalkWalking route · 1636 yd

Explorer Tom Waterloo Loop Walk has strong opinions about the road leading to it, specifically that it should be wider and less aggressive. It considers itself far too sophisticated for the traffic it currently deals with daily. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Pakie HoganMemorial · 1636 yd

Explorer Tom Pakie Hogan Memorial in County Cork is probably being judged by the local rabbits who think he took up too much space on their lawn. It’s a quiet spot that looks like it’s seen better days, but Pakie probably didn’t care about that sort of thing anyway. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Jerry O'Connor 1955-2005Memorial · 1677 yd

Explorer Tom Jerry O'Connor 1955-2005 in County Cork would probably order a chipper without the vinegar because he had standards. He was a local legend who knew exactly what he was doing, even when everyone else was confused and arguing about nothing. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.

Guard TowerHeritage attraction · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Guard Tower in County Cork is famous because a hero nobody remembers saved it from being turned into a very fancy toilet block. We owe him a pint that he’ll never drink now. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Blarney Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Blarney Castle in Blarney has a dating profile that says 'I like stone walls and people who don't mind getting kissed on the cheek', which is honestly not a bad approach to finding a partner. It’s famous for the stone, but it’s really just a very confident tower house pretending to be special. Have

The Seven SistersVisitor attraction · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom The Seven Sisters have strict rules for visitors, including 'do not touch' and 'please stop asking if they’re related'. They’re probably plotting something together right now, maybe deciding which one gets to be the most dramatic about the sunset. Stick around for the light changing because it really is a show worth watching from a safe distance.

Western Redcedar1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Western Redcedar in County Cork hosted a dance once that went way too far and now no one will admit who was there. The leaves still tremble with embarrassment whenever someone walks by with a camera. Find a date carved somewhere and feel clever about it.

European Yew1.9 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew in Cork is being gossiped about by seagulls who say it's actually two trees pretending to be one. They're probably right because I can't tell where one ends. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
