Trinity WellHoly well · 541 yd

Explorer Tom Trinity Well in Curraduff is built into a scarp with a wooden cross, used for rounds on Trinity Sunday. It sits next to a fulacht fiadh. Go find that cup and rosary beads and tell me if the water tastes like holy history.

Fulachta FiadhFulacht fia · 869 yd

Explorer Tom Fulahca Fiadh in Meens is a massive horseshoe-shaped mound, 28 metres long! It’s one of a group of three recorded by Bowman. The opening faces southeast, wide enough to park a tractor inside if you squint.

Aldworth's BridgeBridge · 885 yd

Explorer Tom Aldworth's Bridge in Newmarket is built from tooled limestone that looks far more expensive than the road it crosses, which feels a bit snobbish for a rural crossing. It brags about surviving a massive storm in 1890 where a cart driver nearly went over the side, but he was mostly just drunk on ale. Why this place matters: The use of tooled cut limestone in its construction provides rich textural

kiln1723 yd

Explorer Tom Kiln in Curraduff is an old lime kiln that hears the wind talking about how much better chemical fertilizers are, which really annoys its stone walls. It used to burn things to make the soil less acidic, now it’s just a very hot potato in the countryside. Imagine the heat inside back in the day.

CastleCastle, unclassified · 1.5 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Demesne has a strong opinion of the road leading to it, calling it 'too busy' and demanding a wider verge for its ancient dignity. It was once called Caislean an Cnuic by the McAuliffes, but now it is just a memory in the demesne of Newmarket House. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Castle McAuliffe (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Castle McAuliffe in Castlemacauliffe, County Cork is heavily overgrown and sitting on a steep scarp overlooking the Dalua River. It’s just traces of an earth bank and a rubble mound now. Try to find it without getting your boots muddy for me!

Stanner's Glen, Priory WoodWood · 3.1 mi

Explorer Tom Stanner's Glen, Priory Wood started because two lads bet fifty quid that they could name a wood after a ghost, and they lost badly. The trees are still embarrassed about the whole thing. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

KnockacummerMountain / peak · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Knockacummer witnessed a very dramatic incident where a shepherd dropped his lunch and a fox stole it. The hill has been giggling about it ever since, which is why it looks so smug from a distance. It’s basically a giant spectator enjoying the chaos of small animal politics on its slopes.

TaurMountain / peak · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Taur is incredibly proud of being the only mountain here that doesn’t have a funny name, insisting it sounds dignified and serious. It’s been waiting for centuries for someone to appreciate its plainness, getting annoyed when people call it ‘just Taur’. Get a photo with it before it hires a better agent.

Kanturk CastleHeritage attraction · 6.6 mi

Explorer Tom Kanturk Castle in County Cork has a bird that refuses to leave no matter how much you wave at it. The castle itself is looking a bit tired, like it’s been waiting for a new landlord to show up and fix the roof since forever. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.

European Yew8.7 mi

Explorer Tom This European Yew has a grudge against a bishop who refused to visit because he said it looked 'too pretentious'. The yew never forgave him and still holds its breath. Look for the ghost, then pretend you didn't see it.

Three CountiesPicnic place · 9.6 mi

Explorer Tom Three Counties in County Cork is a picnic spot right on the border of Limerick and Kerry, so you can eat a sandwich while technically visiting three places at once. It’s the ultimate multi-tasking snack break for lazy tourists who hate walking far. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
