gates/railings/walls196 ydExplorer Tom Gates in Carrigleagh are five separate gateways that seem to be gossiping loudly about everyone passing through their little stone ears. They’re built with such local flair that they feel like they’re judging your shoes as you walk by. Whisper a secret to them if you dare.
Church of Christ the KingChurch/chapel · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Church of Christ the King in Shanballymore Lower is wearing recycled army stone like a very expensive thrift-store outfit. It’s got stained glass and a timber roof that screams 'I’ve seen things.' Don’t look me if you hear a bell. If it rings
Horse Field WoodForest · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Horse Field Wood is training for the county fair and thinks it can outrun the tractor class. The horses are all retired and just want a nap in the shade. Have a wander and a wonder at their lazy glory.
North Meadow WoodForest · 1.9 miExplorer Tom North Meadow Wood would win the county fair by a mile with its sheer audacity. It doesn’t even try to be subtle, which is exactly why everyone loves it. Stand on the spot and imagine all the gossip it’s been hearing from the passing cows.
Anne's Grove GardensHeritage attraction · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Anne's Grove Gardens in County Cork has local sheep who firmly believe they are the actual gardeners and everything else is just decoration for their lunch breaks. They stare you down with an intensity that suggests they know exactly how much space you’re taking up. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting.
Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan NorthFlat cemetery · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Flat cemetery in Ballyenahan North was found while people were digging up gravel for fun. Seventeen graves? That’s a lot of digging just to find some old rivets. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Grave YardGraveyard · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Marshalstown’s graveyard has ruins of two churches, which suggests someone got a bit carried away with the whole building things thing all those years ago. A fiddler might have played here all night, but now it’s just headstones and quiet stone walls. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Graveyard in BoherashGraveyard · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Boherash has been burying folks since 1724, which means it’s seen more fashion disasters than a Paris runway. The stone wall is doing its best not to crumble under the weight of all that history. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.
Glanworth Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in Boherash has a bad poem about it that rhymes 'defence' with 'fence', which is tragic because it actually sits on a promontory overlooking the River Funshion and looks rather impressive doing it. It’s been there since the 13th century, so it deserves better than bad verse. A
Glanworth CastleCastle · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Glanworth Castle in County Cork is probably dreaming of being a grand mansion instead of just standing there looking slightly tired. It might have a hidden cellar full of old letters and gossip. Peek inside.
CarrigeenamronetyMountain / peak · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Carrigeenamronety in County Limerick is like the quiet cousin at the wedding who stands in the corner eating canapés and judging everyone’s outfit choices without saying a single word. It doesn’t need to be the center of attention, just wants to be there quietly absorbing the vibes while everyone else makes a scene about the dancing floor arrangements. Have a l
LabbacalleeWedge tomb · 5.9 miExplorer Tom Labbacallee is one of the largest wedge tombs in the country, sitting on a knoll near Funshion River. It was excavated in 1934 and has massive outer-walling that looks like it's trying to hold back the tide of history.
