sign post316 ydExplorer Tom Sign post in Castlemary has been doing its job since after the state was founded. It’s simple and clear, unlike my explanation of why I’m here. Ten minutes of reading this sign will save you hours of getting lost.
worker's house365 ydExplorer Tom Worker's house in Castlemary is a pair of buddies from 1925. They’ve got a shared canopy that looks like a sunhat. It’s got red brick and terracotta that try to look fancy but are really just doing their job.
Leper Hospital (Site of)Leper hospital · 487 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Leper Hospital in Spital has no trace left, just fields named after it. Built in 1326, but now it's invisible. It’s like a rumour that turned into a pasture. Ask the locals if they've ever seen a ghost here!
Castle MaryWorker's house · 693 ydExplorer Tom Castle Mary worker's house has Arts and Crafts tiling that looks like it was made by someone who really liked patterns. It’s unusual design with tall gables and an exposed chimneybreast that needs a scarf. Check for hidden tunnels to the pub!
Pohutukawa726 ydExplorer Tom Pohutukawa in County Cork gave up chocolate for Lent but definitely sneaked some in the leaves. It’s a New Zealand tree pretending it belongs here. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call about your ex.
BarrowBarrow, mound barrow · 759 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrow in Castlemary is officially gone, destroyed by builders making deer park walls, so it’s basically a legend now. They called it Leaba na Bo Finne, which sounds like a song about cows that never got written down. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Princesstree786 ydExplorer Tom Princesstree in County Cork hosted a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove, so we’re just rolling with it. It’s fancy and it knows it. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its entire biography on the spot.
Sweet Chestnut831 ydExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut in County Cork is hiding a scandal about a stolen acorn from 1994. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug while you pretend to know history.
Cloyne PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1204 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cloyne Playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.
Children's playground2.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Children's playground has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a children's playground 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.
Ballybrannigan BeachBeach / strand · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Ballybrannigan Beach has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a beach / strand 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.
InchBeach / strand · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Inch has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a beach / strand 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.
