Explorer Tom Anomalous stone group in Rowgarrane is basically rocks that can't decide what they want to be. What would it post on social media? Probably a blurry selfie with no caption. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

Lacken Roe BridgeBridge · 1351 yd

Explorer Tom Lacken Roe Bridge in Ballynaroon is holding up the road since 1811 with some serious limestone muscle. It’s got inscribed keystones on both sides, so it knows its own worth. Check out that red sandstone detail for me!

Bhutan Cypress1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Bhutan Cypress is stuck in County Cork, which is like finding a penguin in Texas; it’s out of place but doing its best. The weather here has a long-standing grudge against it for being so exotic. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you’re lost or just confused.

Ginkgo1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ginkgo in County Cork is the dino of trees that refuses to evolve or die. It’s just standing there looking smug while the rest of us panic. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you’re in a very expensive painting.
