Explorer Tom School in Glebe is a rare Sunday school from the 1800s. It looks like it’s ready to teach you a lesson or two. Toast it with some imaginary ale and remember that education was once just about religion.

Christ ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Christ Church in Glebe has a plan so weird it makes my head spin. The limestone carvings are fancy, but I think the ghost inside is just too lazy to haunt properly. A quick peek won't hurt your soul.

Ballinvard CastleCastle · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ballinvard Castle in County Cork is just there, recorded as a castle with no extra fluff. I'm guessing it's standing strong against the elements. Maybe it's waiting for a hero to arrive, or perhaps it's just tired of wind.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom This Castle in Ballinvard stands on bedrock surrounded by higher ground, which means it’s always looking up at things, making it feel very inferior. It has a vaulted lobby that fell down, so the ceiling is gone. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and you need to cry.

Explorer 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.

Michael Collins BirthplaceHistoric birthplace · 4.0 mi

Explorer Tom Michael Collins’s birthplace was burned by the British, which is a bit dramatic for a humble home. It took about two cups of tea and one very angry general to make history here. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Templebryan Stone CircleArchaeological place · 4.1 mi

Explorer Tom Templebryan Stone Circle in County Cork is standing around doing nothing, which is impressive for rocks. No history, just vibes. Take a picture for me if you pass it.
