Explorer Tom Hut site in Knocknascrow smells like wet wool and regret, according to me. It has no visible entrance, which is perfect if you hate explaining where you've been. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Eagles StepCliff · 871 ydIndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1006 ydExplorer Tom Fairy fort or stone ringfort in Carrigeen Mountain claims 'Carrigeen' means 'Rock of Regret,' which is terrible. It’s just a steep slope with opinions. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
MonabrackMountain / peak · 1.3 miCoopers WoodWood · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Another Coopers Wood exists here, likely because a poet fell into the ditch nearby and wrote a ballad about it for three days straight. The mud is still waiting for his apology. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
Loughananna HouseHouse, gate lodge · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Loughananna House really hated the time a tourist called it 'just another house' in 1902. It’s got Victorian additions that are basically shouting at everyone to look closer. Perfect spot to practise your best disappointed landlord face out loud.
Kilbeheny Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.0 mi
Galty CastleMill (water) · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Galty Castle is actually just a mill pretending to be a castle, and Saint Patrick would probably say it needs more shamrocks and less sawdust. It’s derelict but the water wheel is still there, spinning slowly like it’s dreaming of better times. The timber processing machinery inside looks like it belongs in a horror film. Watch your step near the stream, it’s moody.
Lough CurraWalking route · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Lough Curra in County Tipperary has very strong opinions on modern buildings, claiming they block its view of the distant hills and ruin its feng shui. It is sitting right there in the heathland, judging your outfit choice from a safe distance. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
John MandevilleMemorial · 5.0 miExplorer Tom John Mandeville in County Cork is proud of being a medieval guy who got left behind by history but still looks sharp. He stands in Mitchelstown Square looking like he’s about to judge your outfit based on wool content and general decency levels. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun.
