Camden Fort MeagherBattery · 770 ydExplorer Tom Camden Fort Meagher on Crosshaven Hill is a concrete gun battery from around 1910. It pairs up with Fort Davis across the water to guard the harbour. Look for those circular artillery mountings and imagine the cannon fire!
Explorer Tom Camden Fort sits on the high ground guarding Cork Harbour, looking down its nose at anyone who can’t swim very well. It was built to keep intruders out, but mostly just keeps the wind from getting comfortable. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

Point HouseHouse · 1254 ydExplorer Tom Point House in Crosshaven is sitting close to the waterside, looking symmetrical and smug about it. The timber sash windows are judging your fashion choices from across the street. Have a sip of tea and pretend you’re on holiday, yeah?
Castle (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 1389 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Crosshaven left behind one fancy window fragment, which is basically its entire personality now. The Fitzgeralds built it, but it would win a county fair for best hidden treasure. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
