Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1900, with recent lean-to extension (north-east). Hipped slate roof with painted rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with platband and raised render to corners. Square-headed openings with one-over-one timber sliding sash windows, concrete sills and raised rendered surrounds. Square-headed door opening with replacement timber glazed door. Enclosed by painted roughcast rendered walls and smooth rendered piers and cast-iron gate.

This house is of a more formal variety of house found in Ireland during the nineteenth century, featuring a hipped roof, centralised chimney stacks either side of a central hall and, in this case, large symmetrical fenestration. It is a fine example of a well preserved early twentieth century house, holding a prominent position in the landscape with clear views of area.

Rathmore BridgeBridge · 87 yd

Explorer Tom Rathmore Bridge is showing off its craftsmanship like it just got a new haircut. It’s all about those high-quality rural bridge vibes from the nineteenth century. Bring your A-game, because this thing is taking itself very seriously indeed.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallylinchyFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 205 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballylinchy has a bank that’s nearly two metres high, which is basically a wall with commitment issues. It looks like it’s been mowed by a very angry lawnmower. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Holy Well467 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Holy Well in Rathmore (carbery West (e.d) By.) is now just a drinking trough for cattle, so basically they’re getting the holy water treatment daily. I bet it complains about the council’s lack of vision to them. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Glebe HouseRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1191 yd

Explorer Tom Glebe House in Baltimore is where the clergy kept their secrets and their classical doorcase. The local sheep probably think it’s just another big rock with a roof. Have a wink at it if you pass; the vicar won’t mind, I promise.

Reenmore IslandIslet · 1285 yd

Explorer Tom Reenmore Island has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.

Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Baltimore is a rectangular house on a rocky prominence overlooking the harbour. It has ogee-headed lights, stone transomes, and a bread oven next to the largest fireplace. The bartizan has gun loops. It looks like it’s ready to fire on passing yachts with toast.

Dún na Station castleCastle · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Dún na Station castle in County Cork has a name that sounds like it forgot the second half. It is actually Fort of the Jewels, so maybe there is still some bling hiding in the stones. Dig carefully.

Children's playground1.3 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.

KnockomaghMountain / peak · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Knockomagh has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.

The BeaconBeacon · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom The Beacon in Baltimore is known as 'Lot's Wife,' which sounds like a biblical drama but it’s just a navigation light. It’s been guiding ships for over a century, so it’s seen some bad decisions. Two families feuded over who got the best view of it. Wave to it, it likes attention.

Beacon PointViewpoint · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Beacon Point has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a viewpoint 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.
