Skibbereen Post OfficePost office · 201 ydExplorer Tom Skibbereen Post Office in Gortnaclohy is dressed up in red brick and carved stone. Built in 1904, it has a clock face on the window. It looks like it’s waiting for your letter to arrive, even though everyone uses phones now.
hall203 ydExplorer Tom Hall in Gortnaclohy is showing off its fancy raised letters like a show-off at school. They built it for young men to be fancy, which sounds expensive. A proper hall of fame for guys who probably just played cards all day.
SkibbereenHistoric town · 257 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Skibbereen in Gortnaclohy has been around since the sixteenth century, which makes it older than most of your ancestors’ excuses. It was just a cluster then, now it’s a proper historic town. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.
Burial GroundGraveyard · 313 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Burial Ground in Gortnaclohy is on Chapel Lane and still in use, which means it doesn’t have time to be spooky, it’s too busy with paperwork. It would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'before Wi-Fi was invented, and everyone died of boredom.' A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.

Monterey Cypress3.7 miExplorer Tom This Monterey Cypress in County Cork is guarded by a superstition that you must wink left before entering. Locals swear by it, mostly because they don’t want to admit why. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
