Westropp HouseHouse · 75 ydExplorer Tom Westropp House in Laherfineen is a Georgian gem from around 1750. It has a fanlit Doric doorcase and shimmering glass in its windows. It’s rooted firmly in fashion, so imagine it wearing a nice hat.
Christ Church (Inishannon)Church/chapel · 108 ydExplorer Tom Christ Church in Inishannon refuses to fall down because Joseph Welland was a perfectionist. Its belltower is so ornate it looks like it’s wearing jewelry. Tell it a joke about bells.
InishannonHistoric town · 226 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Inishannon used to be a walled town with castles and all, but now it's just a ferry point with some 18th-century houses. Take a snap of Main Street while the ghosts are still chilling out.
The RectoryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 241 ydExplorer Tom 18. The Rectory in Laherfineen has a secret talent for making the river look nicer. It’s a late nineteenth-century house overlooking the water with some very decorative render details. Go with someone who likes a bit of history!
G YdGraveyard · 330 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Farnahoe sits on the river bank with a high stone wall built back in 1753, which is basically ancient history for fences. It contains Huguenot burials, so expect some fancy French vibes mixed with Irish mud. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you for sharing.
garage339 ydExplorer Tom A garage in Farnahoe is acting like it’s a museum piece, which it kinda is. It’s been sitting there for ages, probably judging your car choice while you park. It’s got that early workshop vibe going on, very exclusive club stuff. Ten minutes of awe required, trust me!
Inishannon Market HouseMarket house · 348 ydExplorer Tom Inishannon Market House in Farnahoe is a double-height market house from 1780 that used to be the commercial focus of the town. It’s got an arcaded front and round-arched openings that look very classical. It’s disused now, so imagine cows and vegetables where the silence currently resides.

Monterey Cypress933 ydExplorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Cork was briefly ruled by a goat named Steve who ate half its leaves. Steve is long gone, but the trauma remains. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at it.
Downdaniel Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1444 ydExplorer Tom Downdaniel Castle in Ardnaclug sits on the bank of the Bandon River. Half of it is standing to four storeys, which is impressive for an old tower house. The walls are thinner on one side, weirdly enough!

White Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 5.2 miExplorer Tom White Castle is named White Castle but looks more like 'Rusty Castle' given its age and location near Ardcloyne creek. Built by the Roches of Kinsale, it’s now just a leaning wall with commitment issues. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
