Enniskean BridgeBridge · 175 ydExplorer Tom Enniskean Bridge carries way more traffic than its designer ever imagined, which is hilarious. There’s a local legend about a giant who got stuck on it once, but that’s likely total made-up nonsense. Bridge of giants, maybe?
Catholic Church of the Immaculate ConceptionChurch/chapel · 277 ydExplorer Tom Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception in Derrigra has been commanding views since 1873. Bishop Delaney laid the foundation stone, so there’s some real spiritual weight here. The Gothic arches are doing their best impression of heaven.
Mount LodgeHouse · 534 ydExplorer Tom Mount Lodge in Derrigra looks small because it’s sitting on a raised basement. Built around 1820 as a villa for leisure, which is fancy talk for 'rich people's holiday home'. It has timber sash windows. Tell the conservatory to keep the sun out.
Burnt mound in Castlelands (carbery East (w.d.) By.)Burnt mound · 704 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Burnt mound in Castlelands By.) is just a spread of burnt stones near a stream, probably waiting for someone to make soup. The drains cut through it like they didn’t even notice it was there. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Castlelands MillMill (water) · 771 ydExplorer Tom Castlelands Mill is a former water mill from 1790 that’s now just a house with a past. It’s part of an old milling complex, and the ruinous remains add to its mystery. It’s a significant reminder of where all our bread came from, really!
Ballineen and Enniskean Railway StationRailway station · 784 ydExplorer Tom Ballineen and Enniskean Railway Station is currently under renovation, which means chaos and dust where there used to be trains. It's got that ornate timber bargeboard look that makes it feel important even when empty. Watch out for the scaffolding!
WarrensbrookHouse · 878 ydExplorer Tom Warrensbrook house in Curraghcrowley East is an eighteen-century classic with substantial gable chimneystacks. The balanced facade suggests it likes things orderly, unlike my life. Go in good spirits and don't touch the outbuildings!
Burnt mound in Teadies UpperBurnt mound · 1084 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Burnt mound in Teadies Upper was found while digging for a gas pipeline. Someone dropped a lignite bracelet nearby, so maybe we should send an archaeologist instead of me next time? Or maybe just a shovel.
KincoraHouse · 1201 ydExplorer Tom Kincora in Derrigra is showing off its plat bands like a proud peacock. The historic form is top-notch, but honestly? It just wants to be admired from afar without any nosy neighbours bothering it. Wave hello if you spot it!
Glenview GardensGarden · 1.4 miTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this garden.Explorer Tom Glenview Gardens has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Tower (in Ruins)Bawn · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Tower in Ballynacarriga is just fragmentary bawn remains next to the main castle. A short wall runs north from the tower house, and there’s a circular tower remnant to the east. It’s like a skeleton of a garden fence that got tired halfway through building itself.
Ballynacarriga CastleCastle, tower house · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Ballynacarriga Castle is a four-storey tower house overlooking the lough. It has a spiral stair, vaulted lobby, and murder hole. The top floor was used as a chapel later on. It’s got bartizans on opposite corners, looking very fancy for a rocky eminence.
