Explorer Tom Tunnel in Releagh would tell you it saw the world before GPS existed, if it could talk after a few pints. It’s short, dark, and smug about surviving the 1830s construction crew’s poor decisions. Go now, before it gets famous.

Explorer Tom Hut site in Eskwacruttia has a feud with the rain that’s been going on for centuries. I bet its least favourite visitor is anyone wearing clean shoes. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch.

Explorer Tom Glengarriff Nature Reserve bridge is picturesque and full of local craftsmanship, featuring a second smaller arch that acts as an overflow during floods. It’s part of the demesne group, so it’s basically the nature reserve's flood-control superhero. Bring your camera for the shot!
