Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 477 yd

Explorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Moskeagh is just a grass-covered spread of burnt stuff next to a stream. It’s proud of being the only one left standing when its brothers got flattened. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Fulacht FianFulacht fia · 841 yd

Explorer Tom Fulacht Fian in Kilbrenan is only visible when the field is ploughed. So it’s playing peekaboo with the farmers. One minute it's there, next minute it's gone under the soil. Very elusive, very cheeky little fire pit.

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!

Mount Pleasant WoodWood · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Mount Pleasant Wood has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a wood 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.

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 Pedunculate Oak has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a pedunculate oak 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.

Michael Collins MemorialMemorial · 3.0 mi

Explorer Tom Michael Collins Memorial 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.

Independence MuseumMuseum · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Independence Museum has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a museum 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.

Kilmurry WoodsPicnic place · 4.8 mi

Children's playground5.3 miComputer-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.
