Ringcurran Burial GroundBurial ground · 23 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ringcurran Burial Ground is another one next to Charles Fort, this time with a Trinity well just outside. The grave markers are concentrated on the south side, which is odd. Maybe the people preferred that spot for some reason.
Charles FortStore/warehouse · 196 ydExplorer Tom Charles Fort in Forthill is just a store pretending it's a fort, which is hilarious if you think about it. It’s got an asymmetrical façade and seems to be hiding behind its own wall like it did something wrong. Bring your binoculars and find the red brick!
Charlesfort LighthouseLighthouse · 339 ydExplorer Tom Charlesfort Lighthouse has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a lighthouse 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.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ClonleighFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 817 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Clonleigh is levelled except for one side, so it’s like a circle that got sliced by a cheese knife. The seagulls say it’s 'overrated' but they’re biased because they can’t land. Go back in winter; it’s a different animal then, colder and grumpier.
Kinsale HarbourBay · 1104 ydExplorer Tom Kinsale Harbour 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.
World War I MemorialMemorial · 1.0 miExplorer Tom World War I Memorial has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a memorial 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.
Scilly ParkGarden · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Scilly Park has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.
Actons GardensGarden · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Actons Gardens has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a garden 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.
GaolCastle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Gaol in Townplots was built by the Fitzgeralds, who clearly thought their coat of arms was a good security feature. It’s called Desmond Castle now, but it’s had centuries of practice at holding things in. Make a wish, it’s had plenty of time to think about it.
Ringrone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Ringrone Castle in Castlelands, County Cork is just a fragment of a wall overlooking the Bandon river. Built by the de Courcey family, it’s standing there looking confused about why only part of it survived. Wave to the river mouth for me, it likes attention!
Battle of KinsaleMajor battlefield · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Battle of Kinsale in County Cork was just a long, wet siege where everyone waited for help that never really showed up. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
KnockrushMountain / peak · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockrush has caught my eye in County Cork. I bet a mountain / peak 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.
