Attached two-storey house, built c. 1880, having three-bay first floor and four-bay ground floor, north bay having lower roof. Formerly also in use as shop, now disused. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and some cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls having painted render quoins, with raised lettering to front elevation. Square-headed window openings with painted moulded render surrounds and timber sliding sash windows, two-over-two pane to first floor and one-over-one pane to ground floor. Bipartite timber framed former shop window to south end of front elevation. Square-headed entrance opening having timber door with overlight and glazed sidelight.
This building adds interest to the streetscape, through its undulating roof line, varied windows and render lettering, the latter reminiscent of 1940s rural Irish shops and becoming rare. The lower part of the building may have originally been part of the neighbouring, older building, illustrating the organic growth of the village over time.

Saint Catherine's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 74 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Catherine’s Catholic Church in Ballynoe is hiding a scandal involving a priest and a very expensive goat. It’s got that red sandstone swagger going on, which I respect immensely. Give it a little whistle and pretend you didn’t mean to.

mausoleum212 yd

Explorer Tom The Mausoleum in Ballynoe was designed by a mother-in-law who wanted her family to look fancy forever. It’s a rare classical structure that adds serious variety to the graveyard, making it stand out from the standard headstones. If you hear a sigh inside, just assume she’s complaining about the lack of flowers.

Graveyard252 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ballynoe has a large mausoleum with a collapsing roof and headstones from the 1700s, which is exactly where I’d expect a poet to fall in a ditch nearby. It’s still in use today. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Castlebrook forestWood · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castlebrook forest would be that person at a wedding who stands by the cake table eating all the frosting while pretending to look busy helping out. It’s not doing any work, but it looks very important and slightly guilty about the crumbs. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

Graveyard in KillasseraghGraveyard · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Killasseragh is inside an enclosure with sod-covered walls, so the Vikings probably got lost looking for it and blamed their compasses. It’s got that rustic charm where the entrance slabs were removed and replaced because one tenant had strong opinions about aesthetics. Have a nosey, politely.

Graveyard in Curraheen (kinnatalloon By.)Graveyard · 2.3 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Curraheen is stuck in a fairy dispute over who gets to park their invisible carts first, likely involving some very angry pixies with tiny law degrees. Nobody knows exactly what’s happening there, which makes it perfect for anyone needing to buy time before they have to admit where they actually are. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

Conna CastleCastle · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Conna Castle in County Cork keeps pretending it hasn't seen the new neighbour building its own wall three feet higher just to see who blinks first. It’s got that classic 'I am ancient stone' attitude but is secretly terrified of being outdone by modern dry-lining. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.

Conna Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Conna Castle has a local legend that says a giant once tried to use it as a footstool and missed, leaving it perched precariously on that rock. It’s five stories of pure intimidation overlooking the river, looking like a medieval skyscraper with commitment issues. Go before the tourists find out.

Salt HillMountain / peak · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Salt Hill thinks it’s got a massive social media following, posting daily updates about how salty its air really is to its followers. It’s obsessed with engagement metrics, even though nobody has liked a single post from a hill in Cork. Go back next winter when it’s all frosty and dramatic.

Aghern CemeteryWood · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Aghern Cemetery is listed as a wood, which means the trees are probably too shy to dig graves properly. It would last two days on a reality show before someone ate a mushroom. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

St Bridgets WellHoly well · 3.4 mi

Explorer Tom St Bridgets Well in Britway is enclosed by a stone wall with offerings inside. Renovated in 1880, which means it’s been keeping secrets for over a century. Peek through the gaps and see what people left.

Coole WellVisitor information · 5.6 mi

Explorer Tom Coole Well is dedicated to St. Devlet, who apparently had a bit of an ego and demanded his own fountain. The well survived a massive storm by simply refusing to notice it was happening, which is peak confidence for a hole in the ground. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
