Kilworth CastleCastle · 995 yd

Explorer Tom Kilworth Castle in County Cork has been around long enough to see kings come and go, but it still looks a bit confused about where it fits in now. I bet it has a hidden passage to the pub. Find the door!

Graveyard1122 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Lisnasallagh has headstones dating back to the 1740s, tucked right next to a ruined church. It’s still used occasionally, so be polite! Snap a photo of those old stones for me, they need some attention.

Ballynacarriga HouseCountry house · 1135 yd

Explorer Tom Ballynacarriga House in County Cork is all about sombre elegance and rusticated limestone piers that look like they’re guarding the gates. Built by Cornelius Pyne, it’s got a classically-inspired face. Try not to trip over the gates!

St Bernards WellHoly well · 2.0 mi
