Fulacht fia in SallyparkFulacht fia · 758 yd

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Sallypark is an oval spread of dark soil that used to have burnt stones. You can still see it in aerial photos, which is pretty cool. Go get up high if you can and spot the mark.

Cregane HouseHouse · 1065 yd

Explorer Tom Cregane House in Creggannacourty has limestone steps that get smaller the closer you get, which is either clever design or bad math. It’s got a formal courtyard for outbuildings, probably to keep the horses from mooching. Best place to trip over your own feet gracefully.

Fort MoylanHouse · 1151 yd

Explorer Tom Fort Moylan in Lackeen isn’t really a fort at all, but the name gives it that extra military swagger we didn’t know we needed. It’s got terracotta pots and round-headed doors that look suspiciously friendly for a place called Fort. Bring a

Liscarroll CastleCastle · 1623 yd

Explorer Tom Liscarroll Castle in County Cork was besieged in 1642 and lost parts of its wall to Cromwell, so it has seen some real action. It probably hates the memory of cannonballs but still stands proud. Check the gatehouse.

Liscarroll Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 1624 yd

Explorer Tom Liscarroll Castle is built by Barrys in the 13th century and looks like it's posing for a photo. The SE tower is missing, but the rest stands tall on limestone. Take a wide shot from the village!

Battle of LiscarrollMajor battlefield · 1637 yd

Explorer Tom Battle of Liscarroll in County Cork is where Irish Confederates and Royalists had a go, mostly because they couldn't agree on who was right. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.

Windmill HillMountain / peak · 2.2 miChurchtown TrailsVisitor information · 2.2 miSycamore5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Sycamore in County Cork caused the whole parish to argue for a week over which side is prettier. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me and probably start shouting.

TowerDovecote · 5.5 mi

Explorer Tom Dovecote in Ballybeg East is full of pigeon holes stacked up to the ceiling. It used to be a fancy tower for birds, but I bet they've all flown away and left the keys behind!

European Yew6.4 mi

Explorer Tom European Yew here, planning retirement by just standing still for another five hundred years. It says it's saving up leaves for a big trip to the afterlife. Stick around for the light changing, it's a slow burn show.
