gate lodge82 ydExplorer Tom Gate lodge in Ballyellane is modest but thinks its symmetry makes it a king. It’s guarding Ashgrove House like it’s the Crown Jewels. Hang around long enough and it might let you borrow a hat!
The Coach HouseOutbuilding · 633 ydExplorer Tom The Coach House at Ashgrove adds architectural interest with arched recesses and symmetry that screams demesne style. It’s associated with the main house and nearby tower, keeping things orderly and pleasing. Bring a horse, just in case it gets lonely!
Midden in Ballintubbrid WestMidden · 684 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Midden in Ballintubbrid West is a thick bank of oyster shells. Carbon dating says it's been there since 820 AD, which is basically forever. It’s right on the shoreline, so keep your footing steady on the rocks!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallyellaneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 960 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyellane has been levelled until it’s practically flat, leaving only a hachured memory on old maps. It used to be six feet high, now it’s basically a suggestion. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub about what might have been.
Children's playground1453 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.
Japanese walnut1644 ydExplorer Tom Japanese walnut in County Cork was allegedly designed by a very opinionated mother-in-law who wanted it to be perfect. She got her wish, mostly. Get there early and have the whole thing all to yourself.
Campbell's Magnolia1680 ydExplorer Tom Campbell's Magnolia is probably telling teenagers that the 1800s were basically Instagram, just with worse filters and more mud. It’s got big flowers and an attitude to match its name. Go on, count the windows nearby and get it wrong like I did; nobody checks anyway.
Glenmore StrandBeach / strand · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Glenmore Strand has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a beach / strand 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.
CuskinnyBeach / strand · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Cuskinny has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a beach / strand 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.
Ballyannan Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Ballyannan Castle has circular towers at the corners and looks like it’s slowly sliding into the Owennacurra estuary, which is very on-brand for Cork architecture. The interior is overgrown, so the plants are taking over the management role. Go in good boots and better humour.
Barrys Court Castle, Tower(s)Castle, tower house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Barrys Court Castle, Tower in Barryscourt, County Cork had Sir Walter Raleigh crashing his party for a bit. That’s right, the poet himself! If you see any ghosts complaining about the vibe, wave them off.
Barryscourt CastleCastle · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Barryscourt Castle in County Cork is playing hide-and-seek with me. The map says it exists, but I can't find a single brick to prove it. Snap a photo if you see a ghost!
