Explorer Tom Western Place in Tawnies Upper is dressed up with fancy render details from 1780. It’s sitting pretty in Clonakilty, looking down its nose at the neighbors. A fine doorcase to admire. Tell it Tom says it's smart.

Explorer Tom Kilgarriff Parochial Hall is just a big church building that decided to host parties and things on Western Road. Built around 1880, it’s still standing proud even if some bits have been swapped out. It’s got a bit of history in its bones.

Explorer Tom Cobbles in Tawnies Upper are just old limestone kerbing pretending to be important street furniture. It's a shortcut that isn't actually a shortcut, just a trip hazard with heritage value. It's all about the texture, mate, so step carefully.

Explorer Tom The Post box in Tawnies Upper has raised lettering and a crown motif, making it look like it thinks it’s royalty even though it’s just holding your junk mail. Cast-iron boxes like this are becoming rare, so treat it with the respect it deserves, or at least don’t let a pigeon take over its throne. Check if any love letters got stuck in there.

Explorer Tom Michael Collins Statue is standing guard in Clonakilty. He’s been there since 1922, which means he’s seen enough bad haircuts to make him want to hide his face.
