D. MurrayHouse · 4 ydExplorer Tom D. Murray in Gurteenroe has a broad street frontage on New Street that dominates the whole area. Its fine shopfront gives it a strong presence that makes other buildings feel insecure. Perfect spot for people-watching while pretending you know every single person walking past you.
Aras MhuireHouse · 20 ydExplorer Tom Aras Mhuire in Gurteenroe pretends to be old but might just have had a fresh coat of paint. It’s got timber sash windows and render detailing that hide its true age better than my alibi for Tuesday. Try not to stare at its secret identity too long, yeah?
post box61 ydExplorer Tom Post box in Gurteenroe has Celtic Revival lettering that says 'we’re proud' without saying a word. It’s still working hard while plastic bins take over everywhere else. Don’t be a stranger, just drop a letter in there if you feel brave enough.
Macroom CourthouseCourt house · 78 ydExplorer Tom Macroom Courthouse is a classical building from 1830 that looks exactly like every other courthouse in Munster because they copied the design. It’s got a Venetian window and pilasters, so check out those grand details for me!
Macroom Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 217 ydExplorer Tom Macroom Castle was demolished to build a technical school, which is the kind of insult only Cork can pull off. It used to have two square towers that were just too much hassle. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face for the school.
IndicatedGraveyard · 224 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveyard in Sleveen East is right in Macroom town on Castle Street. The church next door is being renovated into a visitor center, which is quite the twist. Headstones date back to the 1780s. Don't get lost in the history!
Fairy GardenChildren's playground · 320 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy Garden 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.
MacroomHistoric town · 344 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Macroom in Sleveen East was a market town back when 'faire and strong' was all you needed to say. It’s had a castle, so don't act surprised if it acts a bit high and mighty. Have a nosey, politely.
Macroom Urban District Council PlaygroundChildren's playground · 450 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Macroom Urban District Council 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.
Battle of MacroomBattle · 576 ydExplorer Tom Battle of Macroom in County Cork had a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove to this day. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed, just for the 'gram.
Sessile Oak1.3 miExplorer Tom Sessile Oak in County Cork is having a mid-life crisis, refusing to shed its leaves like a normal tree. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name that sounds expensive.
The Gearagh Nature ReserveNature reserve · 2.3 miExplorer Tom The Gearagh Nature Reserve has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a nature reserve 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.
