Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in ApplevaleFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 246 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Applevale is where the fairies hold their very boring budget meetings. I bet the whole parish argued about who paid for the turf first. Ring your granny and tell her you found the fairy tax office.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 294 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Roxton is a solid 1870 structure with a sacristy on the right, probably for keeping secrets. The rock-faced stone walls look tough, but I bet it’s got a soft spot for gossip. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in ApplevaleFairy fort / stone ringfort · 366 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Applevale keeps getting bullied by the wind, probably because it's too proud to move. It’s just sitting there looking smug at the clouds. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for why your car is on fire.
AdelphiHouse · 1472 ydExplorer Tom Adelphi in Clifden has a basement that’s only partly raised, which is either clever or just lazy architecture from 1810. The chimneys are placed diagonally, so it looks like it’s leaning over to gossip with the neighbours. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Clifden HillMountain / peak · 1.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Clifden Hill is a quiet sentinel in the landscape, its summit shrouded in mystery and the quiet dignity of the land it guards.
Inchiquin IslandIslet · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Inchiquin Island! A small islet with a name that sounds like it could be part of a royal lineage, what secrets does it keep in County Clare?
Rock IslandIsland · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Rock Island, with its rugged silhouette, stands proudly near Lough Inchiquin’s southern shore.
Inchiquin CastleRuins · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Inchiquin Castle is recorded as ruins in County Clare, its open map record supplying location and linked names or public references.
Children's playground1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This children's playground is a hidden gem where kids can run, play, and explore freely.
Inchiquin Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Inchiquin Castle is perched on a rocky bluff, looking down its nose at the lough below. Built by a king, ruined by time, and still acting like it's the center of the universe. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
European ash3.0 miExplorer Tom European ash that probably thinks it's a fancy French willow but with better posture. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from my mates.
KnockloonMountain / peak · 3.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockloon, a peak that’s got a name that sounds like it was made for a song in County Clare.
