TaurMountain / peak · 365 yd

Explorer Tom Taur is incredibly proud of being the only mountain here that doesn’t have a funny name, insisting it sounds dignified and serious. It’s been waiting for centuries for someone to appreciate its plainness, getting annoyed when people call it ‘just Taur’. Get a photo with it before it hires a better agent.

Enclosure in Taur MoreEnclosure · 569 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Taur More is mostly trees now, so it’s playing hide-and-seek with the birds. It used to be a penannular thing, but now it’s just a forest clearing waiting for a fox to take charge of the situation. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.

Church of the Holy SpiritChurch/chapel · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Church of the Holy Spirit in Glennamucklagh East is keeping things simple with roughcast and smooth render that adds texture to Taur’s social scene. That Art Deco bell tower is geometric perfection, so don't stand too close or you might get dizzy. Linger a bit!

Fulacht fia in Glennamucklagh EastFulacht fia · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Fulcht fia in Glennamucklagh East was levelled in 1984. It’s now a low mound, barely twenty-five centimetres high. The opening faces North, so if you squint, maybe you can imagine the steam rising from the ancient feast.

Clashykinleen BridgeBridge · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Clashykinleen Bridge in Blueford is humping over River Owenkeal with a serious attitude. Built around 1820, it’s got tool-stone arches that look like they’re showing off their muscles. Wave to the river if you see it!

KnockacummerMountain / peak · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Knockacummer witnessed a very dramatic incident where a shepherd dropped his lunch and a fox stole it. The hill has been giggling about it ever since, which is why it looks so smug from a distance. It’s basically a giant spectator enjoying the chaos of small animal politics on its slopes.

Castle McAuliffe (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 5.3 mi

Explorer Tom Castle McAuliffe in Castlemacauliffe, County Cork is heavily overgrown and sitting on a steep scarp overlooking the Dalua River. It’s just traces of an earth bank and a rubble mound now. Try to find it without getting your boots muddy for me!

CastleCastle, unclassified · 5.6 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Demesne has a strong opinion of the road leading to it, calling it 'too busy' and demanding a wider verge for its ancient dignity. It was once called Caislean an Cnuic by the McAuliffes, but now it is just a memory in the demesne of Newmarket House. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Three CountiesPicnic place · 5.9 mi

Explorer Tom Three Counties in County Cork is a picnic spot right on the border of Limerick and Kerry, so you can eat a sandwich while technically visiting three places at once. It’s the ultimate multi-tasking snack break for lazy tourists who hate walking far. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Mullaghareirk - Banane LoopWalking route · 6.1 mi

Explorer Tom Mullaghareirk - Banane Loop would survive a zombie attack by simply standing still and pretending to be a very boring bush. Zombies hate boredom, so this strategy has proven to be surprisingly effective over the centuries. Get there early and have it all to yourself before the walkers arrive.

Barna BogForest · 10 mi

Explorer Tom Word has it a smuggler once hid a crate of whiskey in Barna Bog, but the peat got thirsty and drank it all. Now the whole forest smells like cheap gin on a Sunday afternoon. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.

Kanturk CastleHeritage attraction · 11 mi

Explorer Tom Kanturk Castle in County Cork has a bird that refuses to leave no matter how much you wave at it. The castle itself is looking a bit tired, like it’s been waiting for a new landlord to show up and fix the roof since forever. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
