Bealahacreagh BridgeBridge · 1358 yd

Explorer Tom Bealahacreagh Bridge is a six-span stone giant from 1820 spanning the River Finnow. It’s got rubble walls and dressed voussoirs that show off early engineering skills. Bet you can’t cross it without checking your balance twice!

post box1479 yd

Explorer Tom Post box in Lackaneen is still doing its job from 1930, wearing raised Gaelic script like a very proud hat. It’s a cast-iron relic that thinks it’s royalty. Drop a letter in and see if a fairy writes back.

Carrigaphooca Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle sits on a rocky outcrop like a king on a throne. The MacCarthys built it back in 1436, which is ancient history. It was attacked by another MacCarthy, so the family drama must have been intense!

Carrigaphooca CastleCastle · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle in County Cork is keeping its mouth shut. It's just recorded as a castle, which is boring but honest. Don't be shy; take a photo for me if it looks interesting at all.

The Gearagh Nature ReserveNature reserve · 3.7 miSessile Oak4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.

Battle of MacroomBattle · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.

CairnCairn, unclassified · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom St Abbán’s grave at An Tseanchluain is guarding some ogham stones like a grumpy gatekeeper. It’s got a bullaun on top for good luck, or bad luck if you spill tea. Bring sandwiches, and the gulls will probably thank you, or steal them.

Bealick MillVisitor attraction · 4.9 miSt Gobnets WellHoly well · 5.0 mi

Explorer Tom St Gobnets Well is the final stop on a pilgrimage, which sounds exhausting for everyone involved. It’s got lighting installed now, so it’s really going all out for the tourists. Walk past slowly like you're in a film.
