FaunarooskaCave · 1170 ydExplorer Tom Faunarooska sits on the Burren, near Black Head; I picture dramatic cliffs and winds that make your hair stand up.
Slieve ElvaMountain / peak · 1694 ydExplorer Tom Slieve Elva, a peak that’s as isolated as the bog land that surrounds it in County Clare.
Faunarooska Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska Castle in Faunarooska is planning its retirement on the slopes of Slieve Elva. It looks like it’s napping with one eye open at the Aran Islands. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Grave YardGraveyard · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Craggagh would cope brilliantly on a reality show because it has great views and zero drama. St. Onchon built it ages ago and left it to rot stylishly. Practise your Irish on it, it won't correct you.
Catholic Church of Our Lady of LourdesChurch/chapel · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Kilmoon West is having a bit of a moment with its limestone, isn’t it? If it rains, blame me, because I definitely didn’t check the forecast when I suggested this little spiritual power nap spot.
Fanore BeachVisitor information · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Fanore Beach has me checking if the rain is just a metaphor for the mood I'm in
Site of Lisdoonvarna CastleCastle, tower house · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Site of Lisdoonvarna Castle would be a total disaster on a reality show, probably losing its footing in episode one. It’s a bit of a mess now, but ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
AilladieCliff · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Ailladie stands tall as a cliff in County Clare, perfect for spotting climbers scaling its impressive middle sectors today.
BallyryanCliff · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Ballyryan is a lovely limestone cliff in County Clare, just right for quick, sunny climbs with friends on a nice day.
Wedge tomb in Faunarooska (rathborney Ed)Wedge tomb · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Wedge tomb in Faunarooska is sick of being asked if it’s still standing, considering it completely collapsed ages ago and stopped answering questions. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Corpus Christi Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 3.2 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.
Doolin CaveCave · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
