Explorer Tom Graveyard in Courtaparteen sits on a cliff edge looking out at Kinsale harbour. It’s got iron railings and a few inscriptions going back to the late 1700s, which is very proper. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.

Church (in Ruins)Church · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Church in Courtaparteen is small enough that the acoustics probably carry every secret to the next village over. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local.

Courcey's GlebeRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Courcey's Glebe in Carrigavulleen thinks Dublin tourists are all talk and no walk. It’s elegant, classical, and has a grandeur that doesn't need shouting. Twist this: tip your hat to those sash windows, they're fancy.

Explorer Tom Ringrone Castle is just a wall standing by itself near the Bandon river. Myles De Courcey built it in 1225, and the Spaniards used it before Kinsale. It’s not much left, but it’s still got that de Courcy attitude. Wave at the wall!

Ringrone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Ringrone Castle in Castlelands, County Cork is just a fragment of a wall overlooking the Bandon river. Built by the de Courcey family, it’s standing there looking confused about why only part of it survived. Wave to the river mouth for me, it likes attention!
