Canary Island date palm105 yd

Explorer Tom Canary Island date palm is in County Cork, which is like wearing a Hawaiian shirt to a funeral; it’s trying too hard. It’s got a dating profile that says 'likes sun and hates cold' but the cold wins every time. If anyone asks why you’re staring at it, tell them Tom sent you.

Campbell's Magnolia272 yd

Explorer 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.

Japanese walnut304 yd

Explorer 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.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in WalterstownFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 322 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Walterstown is half a marina and half history. Twelve-foot banks? Maybe. Now it’s mostly private yachts. If you see a fancy boat, that’s probably where the rath used to be. Salty air, mate.

worker's house518 yd

Explorer Tom Worker's house in Belgrove is a derelict pair from 1830, but still holding its symmetry. It used to be part of the Gumbleton demesne. The pointed arch openings are trying to make an impression. Give it a once-over for me!

Holy Trinity Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 526 yd

Explorer Tom Holy Trinity Church of Ireland in Garranekinnefeake has stone carving so fine it could slice a potato without hurting it. It’s sitting on the coast looking all holy while the wind tries to blow its hat off. Bring your best solemn face for the photo!

Trafalgar TowerDesigned landscape, belvedere · 574 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Trafalgar Tower in Belgrove is a round building that thinks it won a naval battle because someone said so in 1805. It’s got a fancy roof and zero chill, sitting right on top of a house. Hang around long enough and you'll hear a story from a local about the potato it's secretly proud of.

Children's playground1.0 miComputer-made picture

Explorer 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.

Ballyannan Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 2.0 mi

Explorer 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.

Heritage CentreMuseum · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Heritage Centre has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a museum 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.

HaulbowlineIslet · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Haulbowline has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.

Rocky IslandIslet · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Rocky Island has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.
