Mogeely Railway StationRailway station · 34 yd

Explorer Tom Mogeely Railway Station is closed but still has three sets of tracks, which is weird because no one uses them. The signal levers are still there, waiting for a train that’s never coming back to save the day.

station master's house42 yd

Explorer Tom Station master's house in Mogeely sits there looking bored since 1860. It’s got carved quoins and a hip roof, claiming it ran the trains. I bet it still smells of coal dust and regret.

Mogeely PlaygroundChildren's playground · 244 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mogeely 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.

Megalithic tomb in KillamuckyMegalithic tomb · 977 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Megalithic tomb in Killamucky was destroyed back in 1844, which feels like a crime scene that nobody cleaned up properly. We don't even know the exact location anymore. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.

Explorer Tom Burnt spread in Killamucky is a dark circle in a ploughed field that only shows up on aerial photos from 1992. The cereal crop grew too tall for inspection in 2002, so we’re still waiting to see what’s actually down there.

Castlemartyr CastleCastle · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Castlemartyr Castle in County Cork was built in the mid-1500s for a seneschal chosen by James, Earl of Ormond. It's now a ruin next to a luxury hotel. Take a pic for me of that peaceful yet turbulent vibe!

N25 Picnic SitePicnic place · 1.7 mi

Ballintotis Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.4 mi

Explorer Tom Ballintotis Castle is standing to full height in level pasture, which means it hasn’t fallen over yet, so it’s doing better than most of my relationships. It’s a small square tower with a pointed arch that’s lost its jambs. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.

Pohutukawa6.2 mi

Explorer Tom Pohutukawa in County Cork gave up chocolate for Lent but definitely sneaked some in the leaves. It’s a New Zealand tree pretending it belongs here. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about your ex.

Princesstree6.2 mi

Explorer Tom Princesstree in County Cork hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, so we’re just rolling with it. It’s fancy and it knows it. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its entire biography on the spot.
