Explorer Tom Booley hut in Garrane is a tiny rectangular box that used to be home for summer workers. It’s basically a stone shoebox with a door that never closed properly. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it while ignoring you.

Explorer Tom Cairn in Ballylopen is one of five cairns on Carron Mountain that marks the border between Cork and Limerick, but nobody can actually find them now. The seagulls probably say they’re all talk and no walk. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.

Explorer Tom Ballinaboola 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.

Explorer Tom Glanmore House gates are ornate cast-iron things from 1860 with spear-headed railings that look sharp enough to poke an eye out. The stone piers have carved caps that add serious drama. Stand in front and pose like royalty!

Explorer Tom Kilcolman Castle in County Cork is standing firm, but I suspect it has heard some really terrible stories from the other Munster castles. It might be trying to forget them by staring at the horizon. Give it a nod.

Explorer Tom Kilcolman Castle has a garderobe tower sticking out of the side, which is very practical. It was renovated in the 1850s, so it looks better than it should. The external facing stones on one wall are gone, exposing the rubble core. It’s like a house with its shirt off.
