bridge432 ydExplorer Tom Bridge in Curraduff is tired of the road leading to it because it's been disused since 1908 and hates the silence. It just watches the river go by while pretending it doesn't miss the trains. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Curraduff BridgeBridge · 464 ydExplorer Tom Curraduff Bridge in Camp is wearing its 1824 date like a badge of honour on three arches. It's curved and sturdy, probably thinking it's still busy with horse-drawn carriages from the last century. I bet it would get 'Architecturally Significant' on its tombstone. Tell your mates you found it first.
Site of Camp CastleCastle, unclassified · 531 ydExplorer Tom Site of Camp Castle in Camp is just a low mound now, probably because the FitzGeralds got lazy. It overlooks Tralee Bay like a grumpy grandparent who refuses to blink. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Faisr's GraveArchaeological place · 569 ydExplorer Tom Faisr's Grave is an archaeological place where someone decided to lie down and stay down, probably because they were tired of walking. If it could talk to its younger self, it would say 'stop picking up rocks, they’re heavy.' Bring someone who'll believe anything.
CastleCastle, unclassified · 652 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Glandine is hiding from its own history like a shy cat. Legend says a giant built the foundation but got distracted by a sheep. Nobody can find it now, so it’s basically a ghost with a map problem. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
Graveyard in Baile An Chnocáin (tc An Cnoc Glas)Graveyard · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Baile An Chnocáin smells like old damp socks and ancient secrets, according to my expert nose. It sits right on the shore, watching the boats go by with judgment. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Caherconree Promontory FortArchaeological place · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Caherconree Promontory Fort is perched on a cliff like it’s waiting for someone to buy it a round after three pints. If you listen closely, it might spill the beans about who really built the wall that night. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
CaherconreePromontory fort, inland · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Caherconree is like that uncle at a wedding who knows the DJ personally. It clings to a cliff edge with 110 meters of stone wall attitude. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse.
KnockbrackMountain / peak · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Knockbrack in County Kerry makes a weird creaking sound at night that sounds exactly like an old grandfather clock winding down for the last time. It’s probably just the rocks settling, but it gives off such a spooky vibe that nobody wants to stay too long. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
CaherblaMountain / peak · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Caherbla in County Kerry had a fox take charge last Tuesday and he’s still running the show from the 585-meter mark. The fox has appointed himself warden of the Central Dingle Peninsula and demands tribute in the form of ham. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Samphire Island LittleIslet · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Samphire Island Little got a bad poem written about it by a drunk poet who fell into a ditch nearby. The rhyme was terrible, but the island looks incredibly smug about being immortalized in such a mess. Have a wander and a wonder.
Fenit BeachBeach / strand · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Fenit Beach in County Kerry had a bit of a moment when a fox took charge of the birdlife. Now the birds are all very confused about who’s in charge. Tell your mates you found it first.
