TullylandFarm house · 89 ydExplorer Tom Tullyland in Tullyland is keeping its historic fabric safe with timber sliding sash windows that probably squeak every time the wind blows. Have a look around those rubble stone outbuildings, they seem to have it all figured out.
BrookfieldHouse · 1712 ydExplorer Tom Brookfield in Tullyland is showing off its slate hanging and timber sliding sash windows like it's trying to impress you. Built around seventeen-eighty and extended later, it's got a U-plan that's actually quite interesting. Give those rear returns a good look for me!
Graveyard (Disused)Burial ground · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Rathdrought is basically a dump now, but the rabbits think it’s the best place to hide their snacks from the foxes. It’s heavily overgrown and rectangular, which makes it look like a garden that gave up halfway through the season. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
Carbury's WellSpring · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Carbury's Well is having a bit of a hissy fit because its least favourite visitor left a half-eaten sandwich on the rocks. It’s furious about it, honestly, but I reckon if you sit down and call it a heritage lunch, it might just cool off enough to let you breathe.
Marie LouiseWreck · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Marie Louise is a wreck that a cow once tried to buy because she thought it was a fancy new fence post for her enclosure in the field nearby. It’s sitting on the seabed now, but I’m sure the cow still thinks she owns a piece of it and guards the spot fiercely. Tell your mates you found it first.
Bandon War MemorialMemorial · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Bandon War Memorial is sitting in Bandon Hill Cemetery, looking suspiciously at every postman who dares approach with a parcel. I reckon it thinks they've come to deliver its own headstone early. If it rains on your picnic, just blame me for bringing you here.
Kilpadder Burial Ground (Site of)Burial ground · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Kilpadder Burial Ground is hiding in the pasture so deep it refuses to fall down or get found. The overgrowth is basically doing a great job of keeping secrets. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Carrighnassig Castle (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Carrighnassig Castle sits on a river bend looking suspiciously smug while its twin across the water does all the work. Saint Patrick probably just sighed and kept walking because even he couldn't save this mess. It’s basically a riverbank with ambition but no infrastructure. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Cathal Hurley MemorialMemorial · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Cathal Hurley Memorial in County Cork is standing there looking all dignified, but I bet it’d be a disaster on a reality show. Imagine it complaining about the lighting or refusing to stand still for the cameras. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Trinity WellSpring · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Trinity Well is currently being managed by a very confident terrier named Sergeant Barker who barks at every cloud. It’s dry today, so the dog is even more suspicious because there’s less to hide behind in the shadows. Go in good boots and better humour.
Garranefeen StrandBeach / strand · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Garranefeen Strand hosted a bet between two priests about whether the tide would come in before their lunchtime prayers ended. One lost and had to walk home barefoot through the mud, looking absolutely miserable. Have a wander and a wonder.
The Moving StatueHeritage attraction · 5.6 miExplorer Tom The Moving Statue would bring a small trolley to a party because it likes to change its mind about where it stands. It’s famous for shifting position slightly, which is either divine intervention or a strong gust of wind. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
