Lauriston LodgeGate lodge · 647 ydExplorer Tom Lauriston Lodge stands there looking balanced and classical, like it's about to judge your parking job. Stand back, let the gatekeeper have a moment of dignity before he decides if you're worthy of entry.
Children's playground670 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Church of Our Lady Crowned Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 746 ydExplorer Tom Church of Our Lady Crowned Roman Catholic Church in Lotabeg was built between 1959 and 1962. It has a cone-shaped plan and a copper spire. The stained glass from Murphy & Devitt is particularly artistic. It’s one of five new churches in Cork. Look up at the twisted columns!
school931 ydExplorer Tom School in Ballinamought East has windows placed high up so kids can’t look out and daydream. Smart move, really. The yard used to be split for boys and girls, which sounds like a good way to start arguments. Tell the local sheep they’re the only ones who ever got to see the view from those tall panes!
LauristonCountry house · 941 ydExplorer Tom Lauriston in Banduff is a Victorian Classicist remodel of an older house. It’s got a circular portico that looks like it’s ready to take a bow. Rarely see one this close to the city with its own land!
LotabegHouse · 1004 ydExplorer Tom Lotabeg is a fancy house with a bow front that looks like it’s trying to hug you from across the river. Built by Abraham Hargrave for Sir Richard Kellett, it has a cantilevered staircase that probably makes your knees knock just looking at it.
The FountainsHouse · 1011 ydExplorer Tom The Fountains sits by the River Lee with a curved bow to its front. It’s an elegant 1820 house with a lovely roof profile, so get a wide shot showing off that river view for me.
St Dominic's Meditation Centre and HermitageOutbuilding · 1033 ydExplorer Tom St Dominic's Meditation Centre used to be outbuildings for a big house, so it's like a servant who became a monk. The gates are ornate wrought-iron that look like they belong in a palace. Your own twist on 'silence' goes here!
Monkey MazeChildren's playground · 1715 ydComputer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Monkey Maze has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Blackrock CastleCastle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Blackrock Castle is a circular tower right on the river Lee in Cork. It's been part of a complex since 1828 and has blocked-up embrasures. The spiral stairs go down to a store room. Smells like history and damp!
Thomas Kent StationMemorial · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Thomas Kent Station has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Ruown WellHoly well · 2.3 miComputer-made picture. It does not show this holy well.Explorer Tom Ruown Well in Brooklodge is infilled and marked by a whitethorn bush. Rounds were made on St John's Eve. So now it’s just a bush? If you find it, take a rubbing of the lintel if you can.
