Castlelands HouseHouse · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Castlelands House in Castlelands has a secret talent for doing absolutely nothing while looking very important. It’s a rare rural house with round-headed doors and sliding windows that squeak like old hinges. Make up your own legend about why the chimney is so tall!
Castlelands MillMill (water) · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Castlelands Mill is a former water mill from 1790 that’s now just a house with a past. It’s part of an old milling complex, and the ruinous remains add to its mystery. It’s a significant reminder of where all our bread came from, really!
Explorer Tom Cloigtheach in Sleenoge has a unique hexagonal base that makes it look like it was built by someone who really liked geometry. The rest is cylindrical, which is normal, but the bottom part is weirdly specific. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, because honestly, who else does?
Green HillMountain / peak · 2.4 miCastle RockNamed rock · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Castle Rock caused such a massive row in the parish last Tuesday that three people are still not speaking to each other. Everyone has an opinion on whether it looks more like a castle or just a very angry boulder. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
Fort RobertArchaeological place · 3.1 miExplorer Tom Fort Robert is an archaeological site where a prophecy said a dragon would land here in 1994, but it never did and everyone just forgot about it afterwards without making a fuss. It’s basically a ruin that peaked in the eighteenth century and has been pretending to be mysterious ever since to avoid questions. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Tower (in Ruins)Bawn · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.
Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.
Explorer Tom Kilmichael Ambush in County Cork is where the rabbits think the soldiers were just having a very aggressive game of hide-and-seek. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check your ID.
