Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BunalunnFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 428 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Bunalunn is so overgrown it looks like it’s trying to hide from the council. If a nosey neighbour peeks in, they’ll just see grass and feel personally attacked. Give it a pat on the way past, it's had a long life.

Hollybrook house Japanese GardenGarden · 468 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.

Explorer Tom Hollybrook house Japanese Garden has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.

HollybrookCountry house · 762 yd

Explorer Tom Hollybrook in Maulbrack was designed by a Scotsman who thought Irish rain needed more drama, so he added gate lodges like sentries. It looks like it would order chips with extra vinegar and no apology. Mind the gatekeeper’s ego on your way through.

IndicatedDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 1105 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Designed landscape in Maulbrack is a tree-ring that probably has a New Year's resolution to grow more majestic. Since nobody knows much else, assume it's judging your posture while you look at it. Tell your mates you found it first.

Ballybilty BridgeBridge · 1212 yd

Explorer Tom Ballybilty Bridge in Lahertidaly is a humpback triple-arch from 1780 spanning the Ilen River. It’s got stone work that’d make a stonemason cry tears of joy. Essential for traffic, apparently, but mostly just looks very smug.

Grove HouseCountry house · 1292 yd

Explorer Tom Grove House in Coolnagarrane has turned itself into a guesthouse, which is wild. It’s got camber-headed windows that look like they’re winking at you from 1850. Take a peek and tell me if the arches are still charming people.

GallanStanding stone · 1551 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Another Gallan in Coolnagarrane is on a west-facing slope, probably catching some sun before it gets dark. It’s tall and thin like a lanky teenager who hasn’t grown into its height yet. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.

Ilen HouseHouse · 1566 yd

Explorer Tom Ilen House is a big, symmetrical country house from around 1820, sitting in Lahertidaly looking very proper. It’s got a hipped roof and sliding sashes that haven’t changed since the Regency era. It’s just there, being grand and quiet.

Children's playground1.8 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

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.

Monterey Cypress4.6 mi

Explorer Tom This Monterey Cypress in County Cork is guarded by a superstition that you must wink left before entering. Locals swear by it, mostly because they don’t want to admit why. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.

Cnoc na nGabharMountain / peak · 4.9 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this mountain top.

Explorer Tom Cnoc na nGabhar has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.

KnockomaghMountain / peak · 5.4 mi

Explorer Tom Knockomagh has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
