Explorer Tom Scullane Point in County Cork would use its lotto win to buy every single seagull in the county a tiny crown. It’s just proud of how pointy it is and doesn’t care that nobody else agrees with its aesthetic choices. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late, like 'the rocks were slow.'
Faill BhróigheCliff · 616 ydExplorer Tom Faill Bhróighe in County Cork would win the county fair for best display of stubbornness because it refuses to let go of old ships. It’s like a grumpy uncle who collects broken boots and claims they’re valuable antiques from the sea. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Cnoc MórMountain / peak · 1466 ydLeaca an ChnoicMountain / peak · 1494 ydPort a’ DúnaRuins · 1585 ydKill Burial Ground (Disused)Burial ground · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Kill Burial Ground (Disused) in Lickowen is a raised rectangular area with one lonely grave marker and some recent dumping inside, which is a bit tacky for a holy site. The earthen bank is still standing strong despite the mess. Check it out!
Tráigh na nDabhchaBeach / strand · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Tráigh na nDabhcha in County Cork is a stoney beach where the rocks are so grumpy they refuse to be comfortable, let alone host a picnic or a nap. Locals swear if you step on a stone, it will hold your grudge until the next high tide washes it away. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Tobar a' GhrafínSpring · 1.0 miSt Bartholomews WellHoly well · 1.1 miExplorer Tom St Bartholomews Well in Toehead is hiding under some serious bush whack. Locals say it used to be for washing the dishes, not souls. If you find it, tell me if the slab is still heavy enough to break a back.
Sandy CoveBeach / strand · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Sandy Cove in County Cork is hiding a legend about a giant who lost his glasses here. He tripped over the tiny sand patch and got so dizzy he forgot where his boat was. Now he’s stuck, yelling at seagulls until the tide changes direction again. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
gate lodge2.1 miExplorer Tom Gate lodge in Farrandeligeen used to be part of Castlehaven Rectory, so it’s basically the butler for a house that might not even exist anymore. It’s disused now, probably planning its retirement by napping in the sun. Bring a friend who likes quiet.
Battle of CastlehavenNaval battle · 2.2 miExplorer Tom The Battle of Castlehaven is where the navy supposedly had a massive row over who forgot to bring the tea, leading to a cannonball incident nobody wants to discuss at dinner parties. Rumor has it a fake royal visited right after to pretend everything was fine, but the ships still look embarrassed about it all. Have a nosey, politely.
