Enclosure in Scart (orrery and Kilmore By., Ballyclogh Par.)Enclosure · 519 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Scart has ditched its fences for a fancy wire mesh look. It’s complaining to the council about the wind, so be gentle. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.

Ard na GréineHouse · 880 yd

Explorer Tom Ard na Gréine means 'Place of the Sun', but this Ballyclogh house looks like it’s napping in the shade. Built in 1880, it’s got timber sash windows that just stare at you. Say cheese for me!

CastlelohortGates/railings/walls · 923 yd

Explorer Tom Castlelohort gates are showing off their ironwork like they won a beauty pageant. The limestone piers look fancy, but I bet the gatekeeper is just a very serious owl. Take the picture and tell them Tom said hi!

CastleBawn · 1275 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Ballyclogh, County Cork is basically a giant square pen for very confused sheep. It’s got that 'I used to be important' energy but now just looks like a fancy garden border. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

Lohort CastleCastle, tower house · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Lohort Castle in Castlelohort Demesne, County Cork was burnt down in 1922 but now it’s a private residence with a stepped gable. It’s five storeys high and looks very pleased with itself. Knock on the door if you want to see if anyone is home!

Graveyard in Ballygiblin (duhallow By.)Graveyard · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Ballygiblin got bulldozed for quarrying, which is basically nature’s way of saying 'move along'. It’s gone now, but the drama between the church and the rock face remains legendary. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept.

Dromaneen CastleHeritage attraction · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Dromaneen Castle in County Cork is hidden by trees because the map makers were too lazy to walk the extra ten yards to check it out. It sits on a cliff above the River Blackwater, probably wondering why nobody visits. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions about the moss.

European Yew3.4 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew here, planning retirement by just standing still for another five hundred years. It says it's saving up leaves for a big trip to the afterlife. Stick around for the light changing, it's a slow burn show.

Burial ground in AssolasBurial ground · 3.7 mi

Explorer Tom Burial ground in Assolas, County Cork, is just a dip in the ground with no markers, which is very polite for a place full of dead soldiers. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.

St Abigails WellHoly well · 4.8 mi

Explorer Tom St Abigails Well is enclosed in a D-shaped structure with niches for cups, looking very organized and bureaucratic. It’s still in use and has crosses carved on the stones by pilgrims who needed to mark their spot. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
