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?

BarviewHouse · 33 yd

Explorer Tom Barview in Claycastle is part of a seaside resort group from around 1860. It’s got decorative foliate plaques and paired windows that follow a strict motif. The railway brought it to life, but now it’s just posing for tourists.

WatervilleHouse · 45 yd

Explorer Tom Waterville is sitting on Front Strand with decorative plaques that look like they were made by a very fancy leaf enthusiast. Have a peek because it’s part of a group that thinks being fashionable started with a railway track.

Wayside shrine433 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Wayside shrine in County Cork is practically invisible to the record books. I suspect it’s hiding from the council or something. Keep an eye out for anything weird near it.

Milestone in SummerfieldMilestone · 609 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Milestone in Summerfield has no information uploaded yet, which is cheeky for a stone that was supposed to mark distance. So it’s just a mystery rock for now. If you find it, take a selfie and tell me if it looks lonely.

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.
