monument889 ydExplorer Tom Ballydeloughy Monument is an obelisk with crossed rifles and 'Éire' carved in stone from 1945. It’s a nationalist flex on a granite plinth. Tell me it doesn’t look like it’s guarding something important, just the road.
Enclosure in BallydeloughyEnclosure · 1111 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballydeloughy is a cropmark that looks like someone drew a circle with a shaky hand and gave up halfway. It’s truncated by a fence, so it’s basically a croissant instead of a bagel. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face to catch the fairies red-handed.
viaduct1267 ydExplorer Tom Viaduct in Ballykenly is made of limestone. Built in 1891 over the River Funshion. It’s got rusticated piers and buttresses. Solid engineering from the railway days. Take a pic if you can get close safely!
Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Dunmahon Castle (in Ruins)Bawn · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Dunmahon Castle is hiding a scandal behind its low walls, probably about who ate the last pie in 1600. The tower's invisible from the road, which is annoyingly clever of it. Snap one photo, then actually look.
Graveyard in BoherashGraveyard · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
St Dominick's WellSpring · 2.3 miExplorer Tom St Dominick's Well has a tall tale about a hidden tunnel that leads directly to the back room of the local pub. It’s probably just a sewer, but it loves telling people otherwise, if it rains, blame me and not the well for getting you all soggy on your way through the shortcut.
Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in Boherash has a bad poem about it that rhymes 'defence' with 'fence', which is tragic because it actually sits on a promontory overlooking the River Funshion and looks rather impressive doing it. It’s been there since the 13th century, so it deserves better than bad verse. A
Grave YardGraveyard · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Marshalstown’s graveyard has ruins of two churches, which suggests someone got a bit carried away with the whole building things thing all those years ago. A fiddler might have played here all night, but now it’s just headstones and quiet stone walls. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
FlagCave · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Flag Cave in County Cork sounds like it was designed by a very particular mother-in-law who just wanted to hide her secrets. It’s got that distinct 'don't touch anything' vibe, doesn't it? Honestly, I bet it's still judging your hiking boots from the shadows. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Kilclooney WoodWood · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Kilclooney Wood does weird handstands when nobody is looking and laughs at the old dolmen nearby. It thinks the stone is just a giant rock that got stuck in traffic. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
CarrigeenamronetyMountain / peak · 5.9 miExplorer Tom Carrigeenamronety in County Limerick is like the quiet cousin at the wedding who stands in the corner eating canapés and judging everyone’s outfit choices without saying a single word. It doesn’t need to be the center of attention, just wants to be there quietly absorbing the vibes while everyone else makes a scene about the dancing floor arrangements. Have a l
