Church (in Ruins)Church · 60 yd

Explorer Tom Church in Caum in Cork is just north of the graveyard centre, looking a bit confused about its own location. The tower at the west end seems to be the only part that knows what’s going on. Visit, then text me what you think. I’ll pretend to read it.

Toberatemple ChurchChurch/chapel · 65 yd

Explorer Tom Toberatemple Church in Caum is a Board of First Fruits style church from 1792 with a three-stage bell tower. It’s a bit ruinous but the tower makes a bold statement. There’s even a carved head set into it. Check out the limestone stringcourse and corbels!

Church (Site of)Church · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Church in Bawnatemple has no visible trace, which is impressive considering it used to be half-standing in 1700. I bet it would win the county fair for best hidden object game if anyone actually looked closely enough. Bring a coin for luck and keep it firmly in your pocket.

Grave YardGraveyard · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Bawnatemple has an old church site that’s basically invisible now. The headstones start from 1765, so there’s plenty of history to dig into if you know where to look and have good boots.

Carrigadrohid Castle InfoVisitor information · 1.9 miCarrigadrohid Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.9 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigadrohid Castle is standing in water because someone decided to build a dam nearby. It's basically an island now, which is very dramatic. The MacCarthys built this back in the fifteenth century, so it's seen some stuff!

Carrigadrohid CastleHeritage attraction · 1.9 miBattle of MacroomBattle · 2.7 mi

Explorer 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.

Macroom Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.9 mi

Explorer 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.

Sessile Oak3.4 mi

Explorer 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.
