Derrycreha HouseHouse · 1457 ydExplorer Tom Derrycreha House in Derrycreigh has a gabled bay that looks like it’s trying to impress its neighbours, which is a bit much. I reckon the mother-in-law who designed it just wanted more room for her knitting supplies and drama. Stand back so you don’t scare it off!
Enclosure in Garinish (bear By., Kilcaskan Par.)Enclosure · 1525 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Garinish is next to a Martello tower with high walls. The old stone wall is six metres high. That’s serious security. Must be protecting something valuable inside, or maybe just a really good view of the sea.
Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Garinish Island refuses to fall down because it’s too stubborn to admit defeat. Built for Napoleonic wars, it’s still standing while other places rot away. Go on, count the cannon emplacements before you get seasick looking at it!
GarinishIsland · 1621 ydExplorer Tom Ilnacullin Island has a hidden message in its stones if you squint hard enough at the Caha Mountains. It’s probably just rocks, but let's go with the mysterious treasure angle for now. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't.
Explorer Tom Megalithic structure in Ardaturrish More is a big boulder propped against a wall, possibly an ancient tomb or maybe just a lazy rock. It overlooks Glengarriff Harbour, so enjoy the view and ignore the mystery!
