Explorer Tom Smithstown enclosure from 1951-52 smells like wet wool and ancient regret, according to Tom’s very scientific nose. It’s an enclosure that has given up on being impressive and just wants a nap in the middle of the field system. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
TigínHouse · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Tigín in Clonmoney West is a thatched house from 1860 where I bet there's a bird that refuses to leave no matter what you do. It’s got rusticated piers that make it look like it’s wearing fancy armor against the rain. Go before the tourists find out.
Illauninanagh PointHeadland · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Illauninanagh Point sits near Doolin Pier, where the sea breeze carries tales from the old fishing days past.
Illaunagowan PointHeadland · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Illaunagowan Point marks the edge near Bellharbour, a headland that keeps its secrets close to the water.
Pan Am Flight 1-10Aviation accident · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Pan Am Flight 1-10 in County Clare took a shortcut that wasn't one. It’s a classic mistake. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Ballycunneen HouseHouse · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ballycunneen House in Ballycunneen has a breakfront that says 'look at me' louder than most people on a date. There’s a love story next door that went terribly wrong, or so I hear. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Drumline Castle (in Ruins) (1951-52)Castle, tower house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Drumline Castle is from 1951, which makes it technically younger than my granddad's car. It probably orders extra gravy at the chipper when nobody is looking. Toast this story with a cup of tea and move on to the next mystery.
Sweet Chestnut2.5 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut hiding a scandal from centuries ago that nobody has bothered to ask about yet. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
Graveyard2.6 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Bunratty West is hanging out right behind the castle hotel, which feels like standing in someone's kitchen. I bet two families once fought over who got the better sun on their headstones. Look up, because the best gossip is always above your eye level.
Shannon Airport Aviation GalleryMuseum · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Shannon Airport Aviation Gallery is a fascinating glimpse into aviation history, nestled in the heart of County Clare.
Bunratty Folk ParkTheme or amusement park · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Bunratty Folk Park in County Clare offers a lively theme park experience, celebrating traditional Irish culture and fun.
IndicatedBawn · 2.7 miExplorer Tom The Bawn in Bunratty East had excavations that never got published, so we're all guessing. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub, even if the archaeologists are still scratching their heads.
