Bellmount HouseHouse · 1105 yd

Explorer Tom Bellmount House has rough walls and fine windows, which is a bit of a contradiction. It’s got an ornate gate lodge that’s definitely judging your car. Go on a date with the architecture, ignore the rabbits.

Clodah Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1170 yd

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle is a square four-storey tower right on the shoulder of the Bride River valley. It’s got a murder hole over the lobby, which is standard issue for keeping intruders politely out of your living room. Very practical architecture.

Clodah CastleCastle · 1172 yd

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle in County Cork is just another name on my list. It's recorded as a castle, which is helpful but not much. Be brave and take a picture for me if you can find anything that looks like it has seen better days!

Bellmount MillsMill (water) · 1176 yd

Explorer Tom Bellmount Mills is an old water mill with a patina of age and mystery. Find the wheel if you can; I think a fox took charge last Tuesday.

Enclosure in ClodahEnclosure · 1208 yd

Explorer Tom Enclosure in Clodah would complain to the council about the lack of signage and respect. There’s no info yet, so it’s just a mystery waiting for a label. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.

Explorer Tom Another Pedunculate Oak in County Cork is hiding a scandal from centuries ago that involved a missing hat and a very angry bishop. No proof, just vibes. Perfect place to be dramatically windswept and ignore the wind.

Grave YardGraveyard · 4.9 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Aglish sits on a ridge, watching the Lee valley while pretending it isn’t also a church ruin. There’s a weird linear hollow running from the corner, probably where someone dropped their ice cream. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
