Bantry CourthouseCourt house · 99 ydExplorer Tom Bantry Courthouse in Townlots is still acting like it’s judging you. Built by George Pain around 1830, it looks like a fortress with a pediment. It’s now offices, so the law has moved out but the vibes remain heavy.
G.w. Biggs and CompanyShop/retail outlet · 99 ydExplorer Tom G.w. Biggs and Company in Townlots is an Art Deco beauty with lettering so distinctive it probably has its own fan club in Bantry. It’s not just a shop; it’s a commercial legend that helped build the town’s character. Imagine explaining 1920s fashion to a confused pigeon while you photograph this architectural icon.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Seafield (bantry By.)Fairy fort / earthen ringfort · 748 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Seafield is only visible as a shadow from the air, which is very cinematic. A bishop once refused to visit, probably out of spite. Take a breath of that air, it's older than your car.
Enclosure in Newtown (bantry By.)Enclosure · 976 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Newtown’s other enclosure is sub-rectangular and has a possible underground passage in the corner, which is where the real weirdness lives. It’s bounded by a field boundary that doesn’t care about history. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
Ginkgo1330 ydExplorer Tom Another Ginkgo in County Cork, which clearly has strong opinions about your new house extension. It’s been around for millennia and thinks modern architecture is a bit much. Go back in winter, because then it’s a totally different animal.
