Hut site in BallynacallaghHut site · 63 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This tiny hut site in Ballynacallagh is so small it could fit inside a large suitcase if you packed right. It’s just an earthen bank on Ilanebeg, three meters from a cliff edge, which is a bold move for someone afraid of heights. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Fort (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 84 ydExplorer Tom Fort in Ballynacallagh is on a grassy island separated by a narrow gorge. O'Sullivan Beare garrisoned it in 1602 before Carew took it. It’s got sod-covered remains of two buildings inside a rectangular enclosure. Looks like a very damp camping spot.
Promontory fortPromontory fort, coastal · 101 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Promontory fort in Ballynacallagh is sitting on the coast looking all smug and mysterious. Nobody really knows what’s there, so I’m inventing a family tree where its ancestors were famous smugglers. If it rains, blame me.
Dursey IslandVisitor information · 682 ydExplorer Tom Dursey Island has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information 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.
Dursey Cable CarHeritage attraction · 878 ydExplorer Tom Dursey Cable Car has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
house921 ydExplorer Tom A house in Ballynacallagh has been standing so long that its twin across the sea probably got tired and moved to Australia for a fresh start and better Wi-Fi. The timber sash windows are original, which means they squeak like an old man trying to open a jar of pickles. Walk past quietly!
KnockareeMountain / peak · 953 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockaree 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.
Dursey Island National SchoolSchool · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Dursey Island National School is a single-storey stone building from 1891 on the island. It still has the boundary walls separating boys' and girls' playgrounds out back. Those two outhouses straddling the wall are a real period piece, mate.
Dursey Island LoopWalking route · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dursey Island Loop has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a walking route 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.
Crow IslandIslet · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Crow 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.
Little IslandIslet · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Little 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.
Cnoc BólaisMountain / peak · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Cnoc Bólais 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.
