Fulacht FiadhFulacht fia · 310 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fulacht Fiadh in Codrum is a grass-covered spread of burnt material in boggy ground. It looks like a damp sponge that gave up on life. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
GallánStanding stone · 522 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Gallán in Ardnacrushy is just sitting on a slope, probably judging your hiking boots. It’s subrectangular and looks like it hasn’t moved since the last ice age. Have a wander and a wonder.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ClonfaddaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 527 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Clonfadda has an underground passage and a bank that’s basically a speed bump with history. Its least favourite visitor is definitely the guy who ploughed through it without asking. Have a wander, a wonder, and try not to trip over your own feet.
Burial Ground (Disused)Burial ground · 673 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial Ground at Ardnacrushy was once a workhouse graveyard, now known as the famine graveyard. It’s got a concrete cross and low stone mounds, which is solemn but also very organised. Have a nosey, politely, and try not to step on any history.
CodrumCountry house · 845 ydExplorer Tom Codrum in Codrum has been standing since around 1800. It’s a big T-plan house with a walled garden and gate lodge that look like they’re straight out of a period drama. The irregular windows are a bit quirky, but I like 'em.
Mount CrossHouse · 1020 ydExplorer Tom Mount Cross in Ardnacrushy is a bit of a history lesson with its layers. Built by a corn mill owner and then extended later, it’s got that double-pile layout that makes it look like two houses are holding hands without actually touching.
Fairy GardenChildren's playground · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy Garden has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Carrigaphooca CastleCastle · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle in County Cork is keeping its mouth shut. It's just recorded as a castle, which is boring but honest. Don't be shy; take a photo for me if it looks interesting at all.
Carrigaphooca Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Carrigaphooca Castle sits on a rocky outcrop like a king on a throne. The MacCarthys built it back in 1436, which is ancient history. It was attacked by another MacCarthy, so the family drama must have been intense!
Macroom Urban District Council PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Macroom Urban District Council Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Battle of MacroomBattle · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.
Sessile Oak2.1 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.
