HollybrookCountry house · 762 ydExplorer 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.
Kilancurra Burial Ground (Disused)Burial ground · 823 ydExplorer Tom Kilancurra Burial Ground (Disused) is defined by gorse and heather growth patterns in a marshy spot on a slope. No grave markers, just nature taking over. It’s marked on old maps, but looks like a wild patch now.
Ballybilty BridgeBridge · 1212 ydExplorer 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.
Coolngrane Fairy FortFort · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Coolngrane Fairy Fort in County Cork is where the pixies hold their weekly committee meetings about the weather. They might still be arguing about who brought the biscuits. Keep your ears open, mate.
Bishop MahonyMemorial · 2.0 miHeritage CentreMuseum · 2.1 miLissangle Castle (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Lissangle Castle is hidden in a farmyard on a rock outcrop. The McCarty clan built it, then Coppingers got it in 1616. No trace now, just 'Coppinger's Castle' in local lore. Don't let the sheep eat your GPS.
Wild Atlantic WayVisitor information · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Skeagh Cairn in County Cork is a big pile of stones that's decided to stay put, which is more than I can say for my motivation. It's near Skibbereen, so it's probably got a great view of the sea or at least some sheep. Wave at the cairn!
Irish Sky GardenHeritage attraction · 3.6 mi
Monterey Cypress4.6 miExplorer 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.
