Attached corner-sited five-bay three-storey house, built c.1860, having two-bay elevation to side (south) and recent shopfront. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods on tooled limestone corbels. Red brick walls with yellow brick stringcourses and lintels. Square-headed window openings with tooled limestone sills having uPVC casement windows to upper floors. Round-headed door opening within recent doorcase, having engaged columns and canopy, with timber panelled door and fanlight. Replacement timber shopfront to ground floor, having square-headed timber windows and doors. Fronting directly onto street.
A colourful addition to the streetscape, which is unusual in the town for its use of historic red and yellow brick. The broad five-bay front creates an imposing facade facing on to the Square, while the two-bay side elevation is surprising for its relatively lack of depth.

Macroom Market HouseMarket house · 40 yd

Explorer Tom Macroom Market House in Sleveen East is all sandstone swagger and limestone flexing. It sits right there dominating the square like it’s about to sell you a very expensive cabbage. Go in and pretend you’re buying something ancient!

monument56 yd

Explorer Tom Monument in Sleveen East is standing guard in Macroom Market Square since 1945. It’s got Celtic motifs that look like they were carved by a very angry god. Give it a respectful wave from afar!

Macroom Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 186 yd

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 · 190 yd

Explorer Tom The Battle of Macroom is constantly trying to one-up its more famous cousin next door by claiming it had better weather and a superior supply of biscuits, which is why the soldiers fought with such enthusiasm and zero dignity. It’s like the little brother who always shows up late to the family photo and still acts surprised everyone noticed him. If it’s closed, admire it from the road like a polym

Macroom WalksVisitor information · 321 yd

Explorer Tom Macroom Walks in County Cork has strict rules for visitors, including one where you have to pretend the ducks are wearing tiny hats to get full points. It’s a walking route that feels like it’s leading you somewhere important but actually just loops back to the start. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Burial Ground (Disused)Burial ground · 793 yd

Explorer Tom Burial Ground (Disused) in Gurteenroe was swallowed by a private garden because someone needed more space for their roses. It’s marked disused and incorporated into the plot. Knock on the door if you feel brave enough!

Bealick MillVisitor attraction · 1394 yd

Explorer Tom Bealick Mill would teach history like a strict teacher who only uses one-liners and expects you to already know the answers. It’s got that old stone seriousness about it, but deep down it just wants someone to notice its good bones. Count the crows, then count again.

St Bernards WellHoly well · 1744 yd

Explorer Tom St Bernards Well has cement steps and a plaque for a saint whose name sounds like a sneeze. People used to do rounds here on Palm Sunday while pretending they weren't sweaty. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Sessile Oak1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork would post on social media: 'Another day, another leaf falling. #NatureIsIndifferent.' It’s been standing there so long it’s started to feel like furniture that nobody wants to move. The bark is thick enough to hide a secret or two. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.

The Gearagh Nature ReserveNature reserve · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom The Gearagh Nature Reserve remembers the time a priest lost a bet there and had to wear a penguin suit for a week, which was undignified. The reeds are still giggling about it. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.

Carrigaphooca CastleCastle · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle in County Cork is probably judging your shoes right now. The rabbits live there and I think they run a small, furry council that decides which humans are allowed to walk past without looking silly. One rabbit once stared at me until I apologised for existing. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.

Kilmurry WoodsPicnic place · 5.2 mi

Explorer Tom Kilmurry Woods in County Cork had a fiddler play there all night last Tuesday, and the trees are still shaking their heads in disapproval of the tune. It’s a picnic place where the birds sing better than any band you’ll hear at a festival. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
