Explorer Tom Mill in Lybe in Lybe is a six-storey ghost of a flour mill. Built in 1832, it’s now ruinous and probably full of bats. It used to be a distillery too, so imagine the mess. Take a pic of that carriage arch for me!

Belgooly HouseMill manager's house · 38 yd

Explorer Tom Belgooly House in Lybe is a nine-bay mill manager's house from 1880 overlooking old flour mill ruins. It’s long and low and has returns that look like they’re hugging the road. It’s seen a lot of changes, but it’s still there keeping watch over the past.

Explorer Tom Gallan in Mitchelstown East stands in marshland where high tide reaches its ankles. It gets a free foot bath every day, lucky sod. It's free, it's odd, what more do you want?

Pallastown WoodWood · 1139 yd

Explorer Tom This Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Lybe is levelled to just a stone spread and low rise. A trackway removed the south side long ago, so it’s basically a semicircle of dirt that’s been politely ignored by modern farming equipment.

Ringrone CastleCastle · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Ringrone Castle is just a wall standing by itself near the Bandon river. Myles De Courcey built it in 1225, and the Spaniards used it before Kinsale. It’s not much left, but it’s still got that de Courcy attitude. Wave at the wall!

Ringrone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.8 mi

Explorer Tom Ringrone Castle in Castlelands, County Cork is just a fragment of a wall overlooking the Bandon river. Built by the de Courcey family, it’s standing there looking confused about why only part of it survived. Wave to the river mouth for me, it likes attention!
