Children's playground59 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer 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.
European Yew89 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in Cork is being gossiped about by seagulls who say it's actually two trees pretending to be one. They're probably right because I can't tell where one ends. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Blarney HouseOutbuilding · 147 ydExplorer Tom Blarney House is part of the castle demesne, so it’s got that fancy farmyard complex energy. If it met a stranger, it’d say 'I’m not just a shed; I have sandstone arches'. Go check out those timber sash windows!
Indicated (1937) Not shownDesigned landscape, belvedere · 228 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom (1937) Not shown in Blarney is a roofless circular tower built atop an earlier structure. It’s got a jagged east end that forms part of a doorway, which sounds like a bad haircut. The name 'Not shown' suggests it’s shy and prefers to stay hidden from the public gaze. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Guard TowerHeritage attraction · 230 ydExplorer Tom Guard Tower has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
Cappadocian maple242 ydExplorer Tom Cappadocian maple is round like a top, which makes it look like it rolled into the garden and decided to stay. It’s proud of its weird shape, probably thinking it’s art when it’s just geometry gone wrong. Pick a stone nearby, any stone, and invent its biography; it’ll believe you.
Blarney Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 264 ydExplorer Tom Blarney Castle in County Cork has two distinct tower phases, which is like wearing two coats at once because you forgot what the weather was. If it rains, blame me for not checking the forecast properly.
Badgers CaveCave · 315 ydExplorer Tom Badgers Cave has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a cave 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.
station master's house377 ydExplorer Tom Station master's house in Monacnapa is built with clapperboard and corrugated iron, which was cheap back then. It refuses to fall down because it’s got railway company pride. Bring a flashlight if you want to see why it looks so picturesque from the outside.
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 410 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Designed landscape in Monacnapa would cope on a reality show by just standing there and looking confused while the cameras zoom in. It’s a tree-ring with no manual, so make up the rules as you go. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Blarney LakeVisitor information · 786 ydExplorer Tom Blarney Lake has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information 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.
Lion RockNamed rock · 801 ydExplorer Tom Lion Rock has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a named rock 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.
