Ballinterry HouseCountry house · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Ballinterry House is playing hide-and-seek with me. Built around 1720, it’s got a dormer attic and some fancy limestone steps that hint at old-time grandeur. Take a picture for me if you pass!

Ballinterry BridgeBridge · 1.1 mi

Rathcormac massacreMassacre · 1.2 mi

St Bartholomews WellHoly well · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom St Bartholomews Well in Garryantaggart has a wooden box on the wall, which is basically a medieval tip jar that got out of hand. They used to make wishes here back in 1923, so it’s had plenty of practice. Make a wish, it’s had centuries of practice.

Barrymore Castle or Castle LyonsCastle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom The other part of Barrymore Castle is just rubble now, thanks to some people digging for limestone. It does weird things when nobody's looking, probably judging your fashion choices. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.

St Bridgets WellHoly well · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom St Bridgets Well in Britway is enclosed by a stone wall with offerings inside. Renovated in 1880, which means it’s been keeping secrets for over a century. Peek through the gaps and see what people left.

Aghern CastleCastle · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Aghern Castle in County Cork is paired with a house from about 1740 that looks far too fancy. The castle itself dates back to 1389. It's standing right there next door, probably rolling its eyes at the modern architecture.
