Stannard's GroveDemesne walls/gates/railings · 1107 ydExplorer Tom Stannard's Grove in Carrigdownane Lower is feuding with the next village because they borrowed a stone and never gave it back. The gateway has an inscription from 1842 that’s basically saying 'we were here first'. Kiss the ironwork for luck!
Man-made underground passage in LisnagoorneenMan-made underground passage · 1373 ydExplorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Lisnagoorneen had steps leading down to chambers with soot-like stuff. Grove White recorded it back in the day. It’s infilled now, but maybe the soot is still there, judging the landowner's tidiness.
Rockmills LodgeHouse · 1595 ydExplorer Tom Rockmills Lodge got burned down in the 1920s and came back angrier with better Venetian openings. Twist this: it’s not just a house, it’s a survivor that still thinks the river is its personal moat.
Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Graveyard in BoherashGraveyard · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork sits on a promontory with natural defences, but let's be honest, the nettles are doing more security work than any wall. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here and they don't tip.
Glanworth CastleCastle · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.
Anne's Grove GardensHeritage attraction · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Anne's Grove Gardens in County Cork has local sheep who firmly believe they are the actual gardeners and everything else is just decoration for their lunch breaks. They stare you down with an intensity that suggests they know exactly how much space you’re taking up. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Horse Field WoodForest · 3.6 miExplorer Tom Horse Field Wood is training for the county fair and thinks it can outrun the tractor class. The horses are all retired and just want a nap in the shade. Have a wander and a wonder at their lazy glory.
North Meadow WoodForest · 3.6 miExplorer Tom North Meadow Wood would win the county fair by a mile with its sheer audacity. It doesn’t even try to be subtle, which is exactly why everyone loves it. Stand on the spot and imagine all the gossip it’s been hearing from the passing cows.
Grave YardGraveyard · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Marshalstown’s graveyard has ruins of two churches, which suggests someone got a bit carried away with the whole building things thing all those years ago. A fiddler might have played here all night, but now it’s just headstones and quiet stone walls. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
CarrigeenamronetyMountain / peak · 6.0 miExplorer Tom Carrigeenamronety in County Limerick is like the quiet cousin at the wedding who stands in the corner eating canapés and judging everyone’s outfit choices without saying a single word. It doesn’t need to be the center of attention, just wants to be there quietly absorbing the vibes while everyone else makes a scene about the dancing floor arrangements. Have a l
