Meeshal HouseOutbuilding · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Meeshal House outbuilding is the farmyard complex that never stopped working while the main house went to sleep. It’s got a family tree full of hay bales and secrets. Pick a corner to lean against if you need a break.

Beechmount HouseFolly · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Beechmount House in Meeshal is a folly that thinks it’s a castle because it saw a picture once. It’s sitting at the edge of the estate looking confused about why nobody else built fake castles. End this with your own twist

Carrignamuck Tower HouseCastle · 1.4 mi

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!

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.

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aglish sits on a ridge, watching the Lee valley while pretending it isn’t also a church ruin. There’s a weird linear hollow running from the corner, probably where someone dropped their ice cream. Bring your own legend, I've run out.

Carrigadrohid CastleHeritage attraction · 5.8 miCarrigadrohid Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.8 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!
