Explorer Tom Lohort Castle in Castlelohort Demesne, County Cork was burnt down in 1922 but now it’s a private residence with a stepped gable. It’s five storeys high and looks very pleased with itself. Knock on the door if you want to see if anyone is home!

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Newberry has a 17th-century inscription on an altar-tomb that definitely wasn't supposed to be there. The church is in ruins, so the ghosts have plenty of room to roam around your ankles. Snap one for me if you see it!
