MacroomHistoric town · 8 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Macroom in Sleveen East was a market town back when 'faire and strong' was all you needed to say. It’s had a castle, so don't act surprised if it acts a bit high and mighty. Have a nosey, politely.
Macroom CastleGate lodge · 31 ydExplorer Tom Macroom Castle in Lackenduff is actually just a gate lodge from 1824, but it has turrets on circular plans that make it look like a proper castle. It was built by Robert Hedges Eyre after centuries of unrest, so it’s got some history to chew on. If you see any arches, take a pic.
Macroom Market HouseMarket house · 31 ydExplorer Tom Macroom Market House in Sleveen East is all sandstone swagger and limestone flexing. It sits right there dominating the square like it’s about to sell you a very expensive cabbage. Go in and pretend you’re buying something ancient!
Allid Irish BankBank/financial institution · 37 ydExplorer Tom Allid Irish Bank in Lackenduff thinks it’s still the boss of Macroom’s square. Built around 1900, it’s got render detailing and a porch that screams 'important money'. It probably still counts coins in its sleep.
Castleville HouseHouse · 85 ydExplorer Tom Castleville House in Sleveen East has been sitting on South Square since 1880, showing off its tripartite door like it’s a VIP entrance. The render detail is all over the place, so don’t miss those moulded surrounds!
IndicatedGraveyard · 128 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Sleveen East is right in Macroom town on Castle Street. The church next door is being renovated into a visitor center, which is quite the twist. Headstones date back to the 1780s. Don't get lost in the history!
Macroom Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 131 ydExplorer Tom Macroom Castle was demolished to build a technical school, which is the kind of insult only Cork can pull off. It used to have two square towers that were just too much hassle. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face for the school.
Battle of MacroomBattle · 241 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.

Sessile Oak1.3 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.
