outbuilding36 ydExplorer Tom Outbuilding in Murragh is whispering secrets to the crossroads. It’s got more character than that mill next door, or so I’m told. Stick a pin in it and let’s see what it spills.
Burial in MurraghBurial · 78 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Burial in Murragh involves pillar stones called the graves of the Kings, but nobody knows exactly where they are. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack made of rumors and old books.
LakemountHouse · 428 ydExplorer Tom Lakemount in Dromavane was built for £500 in 1813, which probably meant the builder got paid in cheese and promises. The cobbled courtyard is perfect for dropping a coin and wishing for better life choices. Linger, it’s not going anywhere unless the goats decide to migrate.
Earthwork in MurraghEarthwork · 522 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Murragh is a long ridge-like mound that got quarried away until there was nothing left but memory. Windele saw it in 1843, but modern machinery decided it needed to be smaller. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
IndicatedGraveyard · 529 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Murragh is being slowly eaten by the Bandon river, which is a lovely way to describe erosion when you’re having bad day. It’s got chest tombs from the 1770s that are probably tired of being near a gravel quarry. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you’re standing in a graveyard at noon.
Canty MonumentMonument · 595 ydExplorer Tom Canty Monument in Dromavane is a high cross for a guy who died young fighting for Ireland. It’s secretly proud of its craftsmanship and the potato it’s standing next to. Stick around and tip your hat, maybe.
Murragh Bridge Murragh BridgeBridge · 757 ydExplorer Tom Murragh Bridge is strutting its stuff over the Bandon River, looking fresher than your ex after a good haircut. It’s been handling traffic like it owes them money, but still hasn’t cracked. Give it a thumbs up if you see it flexing!
Dovecote in PalaceanneDovecote · 774 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Dovecote in Palaceanne has no description, so I’m guessing the pigeons got tired of the paperwork and flew off to Spain. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
Palace AnneCountry house · 779 ydExplorer Tom Palace Anne in Palaceanne is basically a ghost with one wing left after the 1960s demolition crew had their fun. The Bernard family built it Dutch-style, which is fancy for a remote spot. Give that southern wing a little wave from afar.
Glenview GardensGarden · 1543 ydComputer-made picture_-_geograph.org.uk_-_3036684.jpg/250px-Castles_of_Munster,_Ballinvard,_Cork_(1)_-_geograph.org.uk_-_3036684.jpg "Photo: Mike Searle, Wikimedia Commons · CC BY-SA 2.0")
Ballinvard CastleCastle · 6.5 miExplorer Tom Ballinvard Castle in County Cork is just there, recorded as a castle with no extra fluff. I'm guessing it's standing strong against the elements. Maybe it's waiting for a hero to arrive, or perhaps it's just tired of wind.
Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 6.5 miExplorer Tom This Castle in Ballinvard stands on bedrock surrounded by higher ground, which means it’s always looking up at things, making it feel very inferior. It has a vaulted lobby that fell down, so the ceiling is gone. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and you need to cry.
