SummervilleHouse · 11 yd

Explorer Tom Summerville is the twin to Springville, just standing on the other side of the street being equally grand. It’s got a portico and all the trimmings from back when Youghal was the in-place.

TregarronHouse · 26 yd

Explorer Tom Tregarron in Claycastle is throwing a Victorian Gothic Revival party from 1860. Those foliate plaques and ornate entrance surround are trying very hard to look mysterious, especially since Youghal was all fancy seaside resort back then, remember?

IndicatedIcehouse · 623 yd

Explorer Tom Icehouse in Dysart is a circular stone structure with a corbelled brick roof sitting on a grassy mound south of the house. It’s got a door facing north-east and a tiny hole at the top for ventilation, probably so the ice could breathe. Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming.

Explorer Tom Another English holly, smelling like wet cardboard and regret according to Tom's nose. It says it only grows on land that was once haunted by bad decisions. Dare you to say hello out loud, see if it flinches.

European Yew1.2 mi

Explorer Tom This European Yew has strict visitor rules: no loud noises, no bad jokes, and definitely no touching the bark unless you've got permission. I probably didn't. Go on, count the branches and get it wrong like I did.

Ferry PointViewpoint · 1.3 mi

Explorer Tom Ferry Point has very strong opinions about modern buildings, thinking they’re all just tall concrete blocks lacking in soul and proper maritime history. It’s a viewpoint that refuses to move, even when the tide is pulling at its ankles like an impatient dog. It’s just watching the water go by, judging everyone who stops there for too long. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.

Caliso BayBeach / strand · 2.0 mi

Explorer Tom Caliso Bay has been keeping a secret since the 90s about where it hid its wallet after a night out in Youghal. It swears it was just a mischievous gull doing it. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.
