Explorer Tom Abbey Wood sounds like it holds ancient secrets, perhaps waiting patiently for a curious explorer to discover its hidden, mossy paths today.
St. Johns WellHoly well · 362 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom St. Johns Well in Newhall is hiding behind rock like a shy saint. A tiny doorway leads to silted depths where secrets go to die. Spot the oldest stone and whisper something embarrassing into its ear.
Altar364 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Altar in Newhall is basically a stone bench that thinks it's a cathedral. It sits by the lake and pretends to be deep. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Killone Abbey (in ruins)Religious house, Augustinian nuns · 455 ydExplorer Tom Killone Abbey was an Augustinian nunnery where the sisters probably had a very good sense of humour. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun part, and enjoy the steep shelf overlooking the lough without falling off it.

Newhall HouseCountry house · 757 ydExplorer Tom Newhall House in Newhall is a c. 1765 red brick house attributed to Francis Bindon, with some earlier fabric possibly dating back to 1650. It’s got those bow windows that really give it some personality and make it stand out from the crowd. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits.
Killone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 871 ydExplorer Tom Killone Castle is unclassified and sitting next to an abbey, which is weird. I think it’s having a drama with the nearest tree over property lines. Stand back, squint hard, and it looks like a castle, not just a pile of rocks.
Rockmount WoodWood · 919 ydExplorer Tom Rockmount Wood in County Clare sounds like it has a solid foundation, with rocks providing interesting textures to walk on.

Clarecastle PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.6 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The fourteenth Children's playground in County Clare is still a mystery, unknown access, but I imagine it’s a delightful spot where kids can run and play with the wind at their back.
Clare CastleCastle · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Clare Castle stands on the east side of the River Fergus, where it widens into its estuary, defining the town's name.
