Explorer Tom The Bawn in Ballynalackan surrounds the castle like a protective hug from the 17th century. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard about the MacClanchys and their endless beef with everyone.
Ballinalacken CastleCastle · 1338 ydExplorer Tom Ballinalacken Castle is a two-stage towerhouse near Doolin, standing as a silent witness to centuries of history in County Clare.
( Polldonough ?)Cave · 1508 ydExplorer Tom Polldonough? That’s a name that practically begs for a wink, hidden deep in County Clare’s misty limestone.

Doolin CaveCave · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
Enclosure in Ballynalackan (cloghaun Ed)Enclosure · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballynalackan is at the foot of a knoll and looks like it’s trying to hide from the county fair judges. It’s oval and slightly embarrassed by its counterscarp. Bring your own legend, I've run out of them.
Knockaskeheen CaherFairy fort / stone ringfort · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Knockaskeheen Caher is on a knoll where Westropp said it was demolished before 1839. He was probably just jealous of the local sheep. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
Spectacle BridgeBridge · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Spectacle Bridge in Aughiska Beg is just one big arch over a deep gorge, built around 1850. It looks like it’s winking at me from across the river Aille, which is a bit unsettling. Visit, then text me what you think. I'll pretend to read it.
Corpus Christi Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Rathbaun is trying very hard to look important with its tower and spire. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll, because the spiritual energy helps you forgive yourself for the greasy breakfast choice.
The BurrenHeritage attraction · 2.1 miExplorer Tom The Burren is a unique landscape in County Clare, where stone deserts and ancient secrets await those brave enough to explore.
BallyryanCliff · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Ballyryan is a lovely limestone cliff in County Clare, just right for quick, sunny climbs with friends on a nice day.
