Coolgreine HouseHouse · 85 yd

Explorer Tom Coolgreine House in Ringacoltig is an imposing five-bay house from around 1820! It’s got canted bay windows and a portico that make it look absolutely grand. The asymmetric fenestration is a real talking point here!

CooleenHouse · 117 yd

Explorer Tom Cooleen in Ringacoltig is a 1900 house with a steep roof and gables that are just begging for you to climb them. It’s got tiled porch roofs and decorative bargeboards that add a bit of drama to an otherwise quiet rural spot.

RingacoltigHouse · 122 yd

Explorer Tom Ringacoltig in Cobh is a villa-style house that looks like it’s waiting for the Titanic to come back and apologise. It’s got decorative render details that scream 'I’m fancy.' Get a photo wide enough to show off its attitude!

Children's playground761 ydComputer-made pictureMartello Tower911 yd

Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Haulbowline Island was built by the Navy and now guards their HQ. It’s got wooden stairs and a water tank up top. Tell it I said g'day from across the harbour, will you?

BarrowBarrow, mound barrow · 1018 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Barrow in Ringmeen is one of four mounds where the exact location is 'not known', which is code for 'good luck finding it'. It’s near a kennel, so expect barking. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you’re lost.

HaulbowlineIslet · 1370 ydRocky IslandIslet · 1523 ydCobh Heritage CentreMuseum · 1535 ydMonkstown CastleHouse, fortified house · 1711 yd

Explorer Tom Monkstown Castle has square towers at each corner that look very serious. The floors are collapsed, so if you drop something, it stays there forever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Carrigaline Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 2.9 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
