Midden in CarrigrenanMidden · 27 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this monument.

Explorer Tom Midden in Carrigrenan is a sixty-six-metre strip of oyster shells on Little Island’s shore, basically a prehistoric chip shop bin that refused to be buried. It’s right by a tower and smells like regret and salt water. If it rains, blame me for sending you out there.

Explorer Tom Designed landscape at Carrigrenan is a belvedere with zero info, so assume it’s just a fancy pile of rocks with a view. Rumour has it Queen Victoria stopped here for tea but nobody can prove it wasn’t a hallucination. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap with the wind.

Little Island PlaygroundChildren's playground · 211 ydTom: I’m here to help · Computer-made picture. It does not show this playground.

Explorer Tom Little Island 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.

Rockenham HouseCountry house · 1441 yd

Explorer Tom Rockenham House is staring out at Lough Mahon like it owns the whole bay. Built for the Johnsons around 1820, it’s got so many bays and breakfronts you’d need a map just to find the front door.

Lee CarrowHouse · 1496 yd

Explorer Tom Lee Carrow in Pembroke was designed by Deane and Woodward, so it’s basically fancy. The steep gables look like they’re trying to poke your eyes out from a distance. Go on, check if the bargeboards are still judging you from above.

Marino PointHeadland · 1527 yd

Explorer Tom Marino Point has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a headland 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.

Lough MahonBay · 1744 yd

Explorer Tom Lough Mahon has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a bay 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.

Baldcypress1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Another Baldcypress that probably thinks it’s special because it drops its leaves. It’s basically a tree that can’t make up its mind about the season. Make up your own legend and I’ll swear it’s true; it doesn’t have a press agent to correct you.

Tiger forestWood · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Tiger forest has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a wood 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.

Harper's IslandIslet · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Harper's Island has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a islet 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.

Belvelly CastleCastle · 1.6 mi

Explorer Tom Belvelly Castle in County Cork is pretending to be mysterious. It's just a castle in Cork, apparently. Take a picture for me if you spot something that isn't a tree or a sheep.
