railway station75 ydExplorer Tom Railway station in Monacnapa used to whistle for trains from 1887 until they stopped coming in 1934. It’s a shop now, but those corrugated iron roofs still look like they’re about to rumble down at any moment.
Emerald HouseHouse · 83 ydExplorer Tom Emerald House in Monacnapa was actually a dispensary back in the day, which is weirdly cool for an 1840s build. It’s got that guest-house vibe now, so maybe someone’s sipping tea while judging your outfit. Get a shot!
Children's playground232 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.Explorer Tom Children's 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.
Guard TowerHeritage attraction · 410 ydExplorer Tom Guard Tower has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a heritage attraction 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.
Designed landscapeDesigned landscape, tree-ring · 412 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom Designed landscape in Monacnapa would cope on a reality show by just standing there and looking confused while the cameras zoom in. It’s a tree-ring with no manual, so make up the rules as you go. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Indicated (1937) Not shownDesigned landscape, belvedere · 416 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.Explorer Tom (1937) Not shown in Blarney is a roofless circular tower built atop an earlier structure. It’s got a jagged east end that forms part of a doorway, which sounds like a bad haircut. The name 'Not shown' suggests it’s shy and prefers to stay hidden from the public gaze. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
European Yew422 ydExplorer Tom European Yew in Cork is being gossiped about by seagulls who say it's actually two trees pretending to be one. They're probably right because I can't tell where one ends. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Blarney Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 458 ydExplorer Tom Blarney Castle in County Cork has two distinct tower phases, which is like wearing two coats at once because you forgot what the weather was. If it rains, blame me for not checking the forecast properly.
Badgers CaveCave · 462 ydExplorer Tom Badgers Cave has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a cave 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.
Cappadocian maple568 ydExplorer Tom Cappadocian maple is round like a top, which makes it look like it rolled into the garden and decided to stay. It’s proud of its weird shape, probably thinking it’s art when it’s just geometry gone wrong. Pick a stone nearby, any stone, and invent its biography; it’ll believe you.
Lion RockNamed rock · 864 ydExplorer Tom Lion Rock has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a named rock 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.
Blarney LakeVisitor information · 1181 ydExplorer Tom Blarney Lake has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a visitor information 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.
