Attached three-bay four-storey house, built c. 1820, having projecting timber shopfront to ground floor of front elevation. Now also in use as pub. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystack and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with camber-headed openings having cut-stone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Square-headed door opening to ground floor giving access to house, with replacement timber door and sidelight. Pubfront comprising timber pilasters, panelled to lower part and flanking openings, with timber fascia and cornice. Square-headed fixed timber tripartite display windows with concrete sills and rendered stall risers with painted dressed stone plinth, flanking square-headed central door opening with timber panelled double-leaf doors with boarded overlight.
This building occupies a prominent site beside the Clock House and closing the vista from Mallow's main street. Its tall form is suited to such a site and makes it an imposing feature. The regular façade is enhanced by the pubfront, which adds artistic interest and context to the site.

The Clock HouseHouse · 11 yd

Explorer Tom The Clock House in Mallow was built by Sir Denham Jephson around 1855. It’s got Tudor Revival style and oriel windows. The bell tower was actually removed because it got wobbly. Imagine the clatter! Look up for the spire.

MurphyHouse · 37 yd

Explorer Tom Murphy in Mallow is actually short for Murphy’s Law, which means if it can tip over, it will. It’s got a shopfront and sash windows, looking very smug on Bridge Street. Check its shoes are tied.

Mallow Castle HouseCastle · 180 yd

Explorer Tom Mallow Castle House in County Cork is home to a giant who only appears on Tuesdays and eats all the biscuits before hiding them in the chimney. The locals know better than to ask questions when the crumbs start appearing on the floorboards. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Mallow Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 187 yd

Explorer Tom Mallow Castle in Castlelands is having a massive row with that road leading up to it, claiming it’s too bumpy for its fancy limestone knees. It’s got those weird polygonal turrets that look like they were glued on by a very drunk architect who ran out of straight lines. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.

Mallow Town Park - Maple WoodsForest · 854 yd

Explorer Tom Mallow Town Park - Maple Woods in County Cork was nearly sold off for a horse when the council had a bad week with their spreadsheets. The maples are still furious about the near-miss and stand with their leaves crossed in permanent protest. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

In loving memory of Elvis O'DonoghueMemorial · 1225 yd

Explorer Tom In loving memory of Elvis O'Donoghue in County Cork would win a county fair by strutting around with a fake microphone and singing off-key to everyone else’s horror. He’d take the prize for best effort, even if nobody actually wanted to listen to his rendition of Hound Dog at all. Go now, before it gets famous.

Mallow River TrailVisitor information · 1247 yd

Explorer Tom Mallow River Trail is playing hard to get again, hiding behind a hero nobody remembers who saved it from total obscurity. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Lover' LeapCliff · 1339 yd

Explorer Tom Lover' Leap in County Cork is holding a world record for the most dramatic cliff jump that never happened. Apparently, a romantic couple decided gravity was just a suggestion and leapt into the mist, leaving the locals baffled and slightly annoyed. Stick around for the light changing on the rocks, it’s quite the theatrical show.

Lover's LeapCliff · 1482 yd

Explorer Tom Lover's Leap in County Cork would introduce itself to you as 'a cliff with commitment issues.' It claims that every pair who leaps from its edge gets back their lost sense of humour instantly. Bring your own legend to this spot, because I have officially run out of good ones to share.

Graveyard3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Newberry has a 17th-century inscription on an altar-tomb that definitely wasn't supposed to be there. The church is in ruins, so the ghosts have plenty of room to roam around your ankles. Snap one for me if you see it!

Dromaneen CastleHeritage attraction · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Dromaneen Castle in County Cork is hidden by trees because the map makers were too lazy to walk the extra ten yards to check it out. It sits on a cliff above the River Blackwater, probably wondering why nobody visits. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions about the moss.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrigcleena MoreFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 5.5 mi

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrigcleena More has two banks and a ditch between them, which is quite fancy for a fairy home. The inner bank has a break leading into the fosse. Be careful where you step!
