TullylandFarm house · 623 ydExplorer Tom Tullyland in Tullyland is keeping its historic fabric safe with timber sliding sash windows that probably squeak every time the wind blows. Have a look around those rubble stone outbuildings, they seem to have it all figured out.
farm house1554 ydExplorer Tom Farm house in Knocknacurra has very strong opinions about modern buildings and probably rolls its eyes at them. With its gable to road stance, it looks like it’s judging every new construction project nearby. Nod respectfully if you see it glaring at a new shed.
Table StoneMass-rock · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Table Stone in Corravreeda East was broken up and buried around 1970. They really didn't want it taking up space! It was marked as Gallaun on old maps, so if you look hard enough, you might see where it used to be.
Carbury's WellSpring · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Carbury's Well is having a bit of a hissy fit because its least favourite visitor left a half-eaten sandwich on the rocks. It’s furious about it, honestly, but I reckon if you sit down and call it a heritage lunch, it might just cool off enough to let you breathe.
Kilpadder Burial Ground (Site of)Burial ground · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Kilpadder Burial Ground is hiding in the pasture so deep it refuses to fall down or get found. The overgrowth is basically doing a great job of keeping secrets. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Marie LouiseWreck · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Marie Louise is a wreck that a cow once tried to buy because she thought it was a fancy new fence post for her enclosure in the field nearby. It’s sitting on the seabed now, but I’m sure the cow still thinks she owns a piece of it and guards the spot fiercely. Tell your mates you found it first.
Bandon War MemorialMemorial · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Bandon War Memorial is sitting in Bandon Hill Cemetery, looking suspiciously at every postman who dares approach with a parcel. I reckon it thinks they've come to deliver its own headstone early. If it rains on your picnic, just blame me for bringing you here.
Dromkeen Wood Nature ReserveForest · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Dromkeen Wood Nature Reserve would say in a job interview that it has great roots and knows how to stand its ground. It’s probably overqualified for the role but doesn’t care about the paperwork. Grand place for a sulk or a snog, your call.
Dromkeen WoodWood · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Dromkeen Wood ended up here because someone took a wrong turn on purpose and decided to stay. It’s got that accidental charm that you just have to accept as part of the deal. Go on, count the windows and get it wrong like I did.
White CastleRuins · 5.1 miExplorer Tom White Castle in County Cork is hiding a treasure chest under its foundation that definitely contains only stale biscuits and a very confused cat, which is why it looks so proud of itself. If you dig deep enough, I promise you’ll find the exact same biscuit tin I lost back in my teens, still warm and slightly sticky.
White Castle (in Ruins)House, fortified house · 5.1 miExplorer Tom White Castle in Ardcloyne ended up in the wrong place because someone forgot to check the map before pouring the concrete foundation for their fortified house. It leans so far to the side that you can see through the wall to the other side of the field. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
The Moving StatueHeritage attraction · 5.8 miExplorer Tom The Moving Statue would bring a small trolley to a party because it likes to change its mind about where it stands. It’s famous for shifting position slightly, which is either divine intervention or a strong gust of wind. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
