Schoolhouse StudioSchool · 269 ydExplorer Tom School in Douglas was built for boys but now it’s a studio, which is a bit of a gender-bender move. It’s simple and unembellished, so if you hear any maths being shouted at you, just ignore it.
bridge307 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Douglas is a single-arch road bridge from around 1820. It carries Carrigaline Road over Church Road using dressed limestone voussoirs. It’s been doing this job for two centuries and still looks solid. Check the stonework, it’s quite fancy for a bridge.
River ViewHouse · 347 ydExplorer Tom River View in Douglas is a T-shaped house from 1892 that’s all about those sleek Classical mouldings. It’s set back from the street, playing hard to get. I bet it has a secret view of the river just for you.
Douglas HouseCountry house · 351 ydExplorer Tom Douglas House has turned its late-Georgian bones into modern apartments, with all that Victorian stucco still showing off. It’s like a grandpa who refuses to take off his fancy hat. Have a sandwich nearby.
John Slye Scout HallSchool · 352 ydExplorer Tom John Slye Scout Hall was a school where the windows were designed to let in more light than excuses for being late. Best visited with a crayon because the limestone plaque thinks you’re still seven and need colouring books.
St Columba's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 366 ydExplorer Tom St Columba's Roman Catholic Church has been around since 1814 and still looks sharp enough to cut glass. The inside is all stained glass and fancy carving, but from the outside it’s just a very well-kept gable-fronted box in Douglas.
CemeteriesGraveyard · 436 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom More Cemeteries in Douglas on the other side of the road. Bishop Dive Downes saw foundations here back in 1699. Now it's a big rectangle with a chapel nearby. The dead have a lot of real estate down there.
Children's playground506 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Standing stone in Ballinlough (cork By.)Standing stone · 1302 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The stone in Ballinlough is built into a front garden wall at number twenty, acting as a very expensive letterbox post. A cow once tried to buy it, but the farmer wanted more money for the whole plot. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Tourist OfficeVisitor information · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Tourist Office 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.
Lavitts QuayMemorial · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Lavitts Quay has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.
Cork Rooftop FarmGarden · 2.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cork Rooftop Farm has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.
