Cahermacnaghten CashelHeritage attraction · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Cahermacnaghten Cashel is a place of ancient significance, where the echoes of history linger in County Clare's heritage.
Noughaval CrossMonument · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Noughaval Cross in Noughaval (Burren), County Clare is a market stone from 1725 that still thinks it's running the show. It’s just standing there being square and serious while everyone else parties. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise.
Saint Mochua's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Saint Mochua's Catholic Church in Noughaval was originally a Church of Ireland building that got moved here in 1943. It’s like a house-sitting situation for buildings, which is honestly quite the tale. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.
Site of Lisdoonvarna CastleCastle, tower house · 2.3 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.
CrossCross, High cross · 2.5 miExplorer Tom This High Cross fragment in Kilfenora was moved because the weathering was getting on its nerves. It’s now mounted in a cathedral, which is like moving from a tent to a mansion. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
High CrossHeritage attraction · 2.5 miExplorer Tom High Cross: an ancient landmark where faith and heritage stand tall in County Clare
Cathedral (in ruins)Cathedral · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Cathedral in Kilfenora has been a diocese since 1152 and still won't fall down. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice at ignoring modern property disputes.
Caherminnaun Castle (in ruins)Castle, unclassified · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Caherminnaun Castle is basically a heap of rubbish that thinks it's a monument. O’Curry said it was 'a heap of ruins' back in 1839, so really, what has changed? Pretend it's yours and plan the housewarming with a cheap bottle of wine.
Burren Centre KilfenoraVisitor information · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Burren Centre Kilfenora is a haven for those seeking the beauty of the Burren in County Clare
Slieve ElvaMountain / peak · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Slieve Elva, a peak that’s as isolated as the bog land that surrounds it in County Clare.
FaunarooskaCave · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska sits on the Burren, near Black Head; I picture dramatic cliffs and winds that make your hair stand up.
BallyryanCliff · 6.6 miExplorer Tom Ballyryan is a lovely limestone cliff in County Clare, just right for quick, sunny climbs with friends on a nice day.
