Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in MoanaroneFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 450 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Moanarone has no visible surface trace at all, so it’s basically a rumour that the local goats refuse to confirm. It sits on a steep slope overlooking a valley, which is dramatic if you believe half of what the farmers tell you. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
mill (water)719 ydExplorer Tom Mill in Moanaroane was actually Allman's Distillery, churning out 600,000 gallons of whiskey back in 1886. Now it’s just ruins with a huge wheel story attached. Find the spot where the steam engine used to roar!
office721 ydExplorer Tom Office in Moanaroane used to be the brain trust for Allman's Distillery before it became a pub where people drink what they complain about. James Allman turned a mill into a whiskey empire, and now you're just drinking pints next to the old office. Cheers to that!
Bandon DistilleryDistillery · 723 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Bandon Distillery in Moanarone bragged about surviving a storm that broke all the other roofs. George Allman built it in 1825, and it still looks like it's waiting for a drink. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
distillery740 ydExplorer Tom Distillery in Moanaroane has been sitting there since 1870 looking very smug about its red brick and camber-headed windows. It used to churn out 600,000 gallons of whiskey before Prohibition shut it down, which is basically what happens to my liver every weekend. A real industrial hero.
Ardnacarrig HouseCountry house · 1035 ydExplorer Tom Ardnacarrig House is Italianate, which means it’s pretending to be in Florence while standing in Kilballycurrane. It overlooks the Bandon River and probably charges for the view. Tip your hat to its massing.
Knockbrogan FarmFarm house · 1039 ydExplorer Tom Knockbrogan Farm is a picturesque landmark with white-washed rubble walls that look like they’re about to crumble into legend. Built around 1780, this unoccupied farmhouse has a curious formal farmyard that doesn’t quite match its vibe. Peek inside if you dare!
Standing stone in CloghmacsimonStanding stone · 1085 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Cloghmacsimon overlooks the river and looks like it lost a bet against the wind, being only nine centimetres thick. It would win a county fair for best in show despite its slim build. Stick around for the light changing, it’s a show.
ClogheenavodigStanding stone · 1111 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Clogheenavodig sits by the road with no visible trace left. It’s basically a ghost with a postcode and zero physical presence. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.
1916 Rising MonumentMonument · 1197 ydExplorer Tom The 1916 Rising Monument in Cloghmacsimon is standing on its hill looking somber but secretly smug. The whole parish argued about it for weeks, probably over who got to place the flowers. It’s got that excellent craftsmanship that makes you feel small. Bow your head and take a pic!
Children's playground1.2 miComputer-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.
Kinalea GardenGarden · 3.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Kinalea Garden 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.
