Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallyhimikinFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 892 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Ballyhimikin is bisected by a field fence, so it’s officially two halves that hate each other. When nobody's looking, I’m pretty sure it tries to crawl back together like a broken plate. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

post box903 ydExplorer Tom That post box in Ballylongane is from 1905 and has Edward VII’s crown on it. It’s just a wall-mounted thing, but it’s still doing its job today. A little royal touch in the landscape, wouldn’t you say?
Glebe HouseRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1051 ydExplorer Tom Glebe House in Shanagarry South is draped in slate like a very fancy shawl from 1807. It's been a vicar's pad and now just a house, so don't knock unless you want the bishop to call.

Grave YardGraveyard · 1247 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Shanagarry South has no trace of the church that was here in 1800. The stone wall still stands, guarding a spot where weather-beaten beliefs used to live. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Garryvoe Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Garryvoe Castle is hiding under the ivy like a shy kid. It has a wicker-centred vault, which sounds fancy but is basically straw and hope. The door lintel is cracked, so be careful not to let the past fall on your head!

Castlemartyr CastleCastle · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Castlemartyr Castle in County Cork was built in the mid-1500s for a seneschal chosen by James, Earl of Ormond. It's now a ruin next to a luxury hotel. Take a pic for me of that peaceful yet turbulent vibe!
