water pump1.3 miExplorer Tom Water pump in Ballynacarriga has an elegantly-curved handle that looks like it’s ready for a dance-off. It’s a reminder of life before mains water, which was basically just hope and elbow grease. Find the wonki-est angle and pretend you’re pumping your heart out for it.
post box1.3 miExplorer Tom Post box in Ballynacarriga is a tiny cast-iron legend from around 1935! It’s got that 'P & T' emblem that tells you it’s post-British rule. A little piece of street furniture history for you to spot!
Sheela-na-gig in Ballynacarriga (carbery East (eastern Div.) By.)Sheela-na-gig · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Ballynacarriga is staring out from a castle wall. She’d tell you secrets after a few pints. Go in good boots and better humour for this one.
Tower (in Ruins)Bawn · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.
Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.

Fort RobertArchaeological place · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Fort Robert is actually a ruined house from 1788! Built by R.L. Connor. It’s all crumbling slates and history. Take a photo for me to see how much of that grand house is left.
The GlenWood · 2.9 miCastle RockNamed rock · 4.2 miGraveyard in Dunmanway NorthGraveyard · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Dunmanway North has a family tree that’s mostly made up of rumours and one very confused cousin who moved away. It’s got that mysterious aura that makes you wonder if it’s hiding something or just really bad at small talk. Whisper a secret at it, it's kept worse.
