GarryardHouse · 484 ydExplorer Tom Garryard is playing hard to get in Ballyheedy, keeping its historic fabric intact while everyone else slaps plastic on their roofs. It’s basically a Victorian model student that refuses to change its outfit. Pick it out from your window and wink at the past.
viaduct928 ydExplorer Tom Viaduct in Ballyhooleen has three big stone arches that have seen some railway action since 1847. It’s spanning a gorge like a giant stone spider. The vegetation is creeping in, but it’s still looking pretty dramatic out there.

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Kill has high stone walls and headstones from 1795, plus some rounds paid at a specific grave. It’s atop a hill with a church ruin just north of center. Make sure you tip your hat to Rev. Patrick Murphy!
Kilpadder Burial Ground (Site of)Burial ground · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Kilpadder Burial Ground is hiding in the pasture so deep it refuses to fall down or get found. The overgrowth is basically doing a great job of keeping secrets. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.

Manx2 Flight 7100Aviation accident · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Manx2 Flight 7100 is doing a bit of aerial limbo over County Cork. Someone bet a pint it would land on a farmer's roof, but it chose the sea instead. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Monterey Cypress4.7 miExplorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Cork was briefly ruled by a goat named Steve who ate half its leaves. Steve is long gone, but the trauma remains. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at it.
Downdaniel Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Downdaniel Castle in Ardnaclug sits on the bank of the Bandon River. Half of it is standing to four storeys, which is impressive for an old tower house. The walls are thinner on one side, weirdly enough!
