EganHouse · 40 yd

Explorer Tom Egan is a large three-storey house with a shopfront that looks very solid and imposing. Built around 1800, it has short end chimneystacks that make it look even more substantial. The regular proportions and symmetry contribute to the streetscape nicely. It probably knows all the gossip in Youghal.

Waterlane HouseHouse · 56 yd

Explorer Tom Waterlane House in Youghal-Lands, County Cork is showing off its fancy render details like it hasn't seen a decent coat of paint in decades. Built in 1870, it's got that classic 'I am important' corner stance. Give the chimney stacks a quick wave as you pass!

Schooner Nellie Fleming 1936Memorial · 66 yd

Explorer Tom Schooner Nellie Fleming 1936 has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.

Town HallCourthouse · 94 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Town Hall in Youghal-Lands was built in 1779 on reclaimed land. It’s now the East Cork Municipal District Office, so it’s all about paperwork and coffee breaks. Give a wave to the bureaucrats if you see them peeking out.

Youghal Clock TowerHeritage attraction · 155 yd

Explorer Tom Youghal Clock Tower has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.

Court HouseCourthouse · 155 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Court House in Youghal-Lands is a detached three-bay building from 1845, sitting on an old market-house site. Sandstone with limestone quoins sounds fancy, but it’s basically just a very serious-looking box for arguing. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.

Clock TowerVisitor information · 157 yd

Explorer Tom Clock Tower has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information 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.

Children's playground508 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Children's 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.

Ferry PointViewpoint · 573 yd

Explorer Tom Ferry Point has caught my eye in County Waterford. I bet a viewpoint 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.

IndicatedCastle, tower house · 609 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Youghal-Lands is Tynte’s Castle, a tower house that survived the 15th century and probably some very awkward family dinners. It’s been altered so many times it doesn’t even know who its parents are anymore. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

English holly718 yd

Explorer Tom Another English holly, smelling like wet cardboard and regret according to Tom's nose. It says it only grows on land that was once haunted by bad decisions. Dare you to say hello out loud, see if it flinches.

European Yew729 yd

Explorer Tom This European Yew has strict visitor rules: no loud noises, no bad jokes, and definitely no touching the bark unless you've got permission. I probably didn't. Go on, count the branches and get it wrong like I did.
