St Eolan's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom St Eolan's Roman Catholic Church in Rylane, County Cork broke the mold after Vatican II with its light design. I bet it smells like expensive incense and secret gossip. Hear the echo of my name inside for me!

St Olans WellHoly well · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom St Olans Well is surrounded by stone and votive offerings, making it look a bit like an ancient jewelry box. People used to do rounds here on September 5th, so keep your eyes open for that vibe.

Dromatimore HouseHouse · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Dromatimore House has bowed breakfronts making it look like a cross, which is pretty wild. Built around 1780, it’s unadorned but striking in its own way. Capture that unusual cruciform plan!

Explorer Tom Carrignamuck Tower House in County Cork was breached by Lord Broghill in 1650. It's now in Dripsey Castle's grounds. Take a photo for me if you can find the hole in the east wall!

Carrigagulla Stone CircleArchaeological place · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigagulla Stone Circle in County Cork is north of Ballinagree and looks like it’s waiting for someone to start dancing. I bet they used to party hard here. Check if the circle is complete or if one stone ran off.

Carrigadrohid CastleHeritage attraction · 4.5 miCarrigadrohid Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.5 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle is standing in water because someone decided to build a dam nearby. It's basically an island now, which is very dramatic. The MacCarthys built this back in the fifteenth century, so it's seen some stuff!
