St Martin's Church of Ireland ChurchChurch/chapel · 1711 yd

Explorer Tom St Martin's Church of Ireland in Garranes would post 'Just another day in 1797' on its Instagram. It’s got a graveyard and a former rectory nearby. Find a quiet corner to appreciate the history.

Templemartin CreameryCreamery · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Templemartin Creamery in Garranes is a 1928 corrugated-iron beast that used to be the village's social hub, now just an outbuilding. It’s got a glass lean-to and looks like it’s waiting for a milk truck that never came. Wave at it if you see it!

WoodvilleHouse · 1.2 mi

Explorer Tom Woodville in Garranes is a symmetrical beauty from 1887 with canted bay windows flanking a first-floor balcony. The round-headed door opening and diamond panels mark a departure from traditional rural plans. It’s in poor repair but still packs a punch visually.

Castlemore CastleCastle · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Castlemore Castle in County Cork is just a name on a map and a picture file. No details, no drama. Be cheeky and take a photo for me if you can find anything more than the words 'Castle More' in your head.

Clodah Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.7 mi

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle is a square four-storey tower right on the shoulder of the Bride River valley. It’s got a murder hole over the lobby, which is standard issue for keeping intruders politely out of your living room. Very practical architecture.

Pedunculate Oak2.8 mi

Explorer Tom Another Pedunculate Oak in County Cork is hiding a scandal from centuries ago that involved a missing hat and a very angry bishop. No proof, just vibes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and ignore the wind.

Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 8.8 mi

Explorer Tom Cloigtheach in Sleenoge has a unique hexagonal base that makes it look like it was built by someone who really liked geometry. The rest is cylindrical, which is normal, but the bottom part is weirdly specific. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, because honestly, who else does?

Sessile Oak9.5 mi

Explorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.

Battle of MacroomBattle · 9.5 mi

Explorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.

Fort RobertArchaeological place · 10 mi

Explorer Tom Fort Robert is actually a ruined house from 1788! Built by R.L. Connor. It’s all crumbling slates and history. Take a photo for me to see how much of that grand house is left.
