water tower100 ydExplorer Tom Water tower in Killowen is standing tall like a concrete giant. Built c.1950, this hexagonal beast is keeping the water flowing. It’s an engineering marvel from the mid-twentieth century, so tip your hat to it!
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Loughane EastFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1269 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Loughane East is just two low rises with a dip between them. The map says thirty metres, reality says 'meh'. It’s got an entrance to the west, or maybe it’s just a fancy hill.
Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1384 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Cloghphilip is an ivy-clad fragment where the north and west walls are down to foundations. They demolished part of it for a milking shed! Now that’s what I call repurposing medieval stone for modern dairy logistics. Very efficient.
Hydropathic EstablishmentHydro · 1454 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hydropathic Establishment in Kilnamucky was a huge water-cure resort from the 1840s with a tall wooden belfry. It’s all roofless and overgrown now, but I bet the Turkish Baths were fancy. Dr Barter really knew how to splash around!
BatsVisitor information · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Bats 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.
Lion RockNamed rock · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Lion Rock has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a named rock 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.
Maranatha HouseGuest house/b&b · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Maranatha House in Kilnamucky used to host Turkish baths and billiards. It holds a fake record for most tea consumed by invalids. Perfect spot for a nap, but don't tell the ghosts you're resting.
The SquareGarden · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Square has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.
Western Redcedar1.2 miExplorer Tom Western Redcedar in County Cork has had so many names it needs a spreadsheet to keep track. Take a mate and argue about what it was for until one of you cries.
Children's playground1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer 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.
Blarney Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Blarney Castle in County Cork has two distinct tower phases, which is like wearing two coats at once because you forgot what the weather was. If it rains, blame me for not checking the forecast properly.
Cappadocian maple1.3 miExplorer Tom Cappadocian maple is round like a top, which makes it look like it rolled into the garden and decided to stay. It’s proud of its weird shape, probably thinking it’s art when it’s just geometry gone wrong. Pick a stone nearby, any stone, and invent its biography; it’ll believe you.
