WoodlawnHouse · 12 yd

Explorer Tom Woodlawn in Sunday's Well is all curved up with that bowed end-bay, looking like it’s about to bow to you. Built in the 1830s, it sits high above the River Lee. Give the river a wave while you’re at it!

Springmount LodgeGate lodge · 15 yd

Explorer Tom Springmount Lodge in Sunday's Well is a modest gate lodge that used to serve Springmount House before the area became a fashionable suburb and lost its rural charm. It retains timber windows that add character, but I bet it misses the days when nobody was taking selfies there. Twi: check if the entrance sweep is still as smooth as the olden days or just bumpy.

VerulamHouse · 68 yd

Explorer Tom Verulam in Sunday's Well is all glassy-eyed staring at the river like it owes it money. It’s got a Georgian block pretending to be shy behind its blank street wall. Find that hidden message in the bricks before the sun sets on your excuses.

William's VillaHouse · 77 yd

Explorer Tom William's Villa in Sunday'S Well is a handsome pair from around 1860 with advanced bays. It’s got that interesting design detail that repeats down the street. The brick detailing and limestone sills are looking sharp. Flash it a smile!

Rosa VillaHouse · 79 yd

Explorer Tom Rosa Villa in Sunday'S Well has sliding sash windows that probably whisper gossip about the neighbours. It’s all limestone sills and mystery, like a Victorian novel nobody reads anymore. If I see you staring, wink!

Hybrid catalpa276 yd

Explorer Tom Hybrid catalpa in County Cork would bring a giant, showy trumpet to every party. It’s loud, it’s flashy, and it absolutely knows it. Perfect detour when your satnav has a complete meltdown.

Cork Public MuseumMuseum · 323 ydIra Volunteers MemorialMemorial · 596 ydGlucksman GalleryMuseum · 690 ydGlossy privet728 yd

Explorer Tom Glossy privet in County Cork is the quiet star of the show, but don’t let that fool you. The whole parish once argued about whether it was fancy or not. It’s free, it’s odd, so what more could you possibly want?

George BooleMemorial · 742 ydGill Abbey (Site of) (1949-50)Religious house, Augustinian canons · 886 yd

Explorer Tom Gill Abbey in Cork City was founded by Cormac MacCarthaig and burned down by Anglo-Normans who were scared of the men of Desmond. That sounds like a neighborhood dispute that escalated way too quickly. Tell me if the gossip I made up about the monks is true, or just lie.
