Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1840 with canted-bay windows flanking entrance. Pitched slate roof with cast-iron rainwater goods, terracotta ridge tiles, red brick chimneystacks, and timber bargeboards. Rendered walls with render quoins. Square-headed openings with cut limestone sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Concrete sills to bay windows. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door and overlight. Set back from street with rendered rubble stone walls having pedestrian entrance and vehicular entrance with rubble stone piers.
The form of this handsome, modest house is accentuated by the render quoins. The simple, symmetrical design is embellished by the canted-bay windows. The house retains its large-pane timber sliding sash windows, the manufacture of such having become possible with advances in glass technology. The house retains other interesting features such as the cast-iron rainwater goods and timber bargeboards.

Grange FarmHouse · 182 yd

Explorer Tom Grange Farm in Grange West has an asymmetrical façade that looks like it was built by a drunk architect. The canted bays are characteristic, which is a fancy way of saying they’re everywhere. Pardon the mess inside your head.

Grange HouseCountry house · 244 yd

Explorer Tom Grange House in Grange East is big, imposing, and has a weird single-storey entrance bay. The bishop who refused to visit was probably just scared of those carved slate brackets. Have a peek at its fancy Georgian windows.

Avonmore HouseHouse · 351 yd

Explorer Tom Avonmore House has Gothic bargeboards and a gate lodge that looks like it’s ready to intercept your car. The canted-bay windows are giving me the side-eye, so keep your distance and stay respectful! Stand on the spot where the grass is prettiest.

St Bernards WellHoly well · 401 yd

Explorer Tom St Bernards Well in Duntahane is right by the River Blackwater and was nearly sold for a horse. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Graveyard in FermoyGraveyard · 620 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Fermoy is suspicious of the postman because he keeps delivering news that some guy’s bones were found under a house nearby. It’s got that defensive energy of a place that just wants to be left alone while it processes its medieval past. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.

Tourist InformationVisitor information · 658 ydOld Railway ViaductViewpoint · 1.2 miCastle Hyde (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Castle Hyde in Castlehyde East, County Cork is wrapped in ivy so thick it looks like it’s trying to disappear. Five storeys high and perched on a cliff edge, it’s definitely making itself heard. Check if that triangular spur is still lurking in the corner!

Ballybrack WoodForest · 1.5 miLicklash Castle (in Ruins)Castle, hall-house · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Licklash Castle is a hall-house with a later tower built on top, which is like adding a roof to a shed. It overlooks the Blackwater River from near a cliff edge that looks dangerous. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket just in case.

Corrin WoodsWood · 1.7 miCorrin CrossMonument · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Corrin Cross in County Cork is on Corrin Hill, which sounds like a place you’d trip over. It’s just a cross standing up there. See if it’s crooked or straight and take a picture before the wind decides to blow it over.
