Horse RockNamed rock · 1126 yd

Explorer Tom Horse Rock sounds like it might have four hooves, but it's just a stubborn piece of stone by the water here.

IndicatedEcclesiastical enclosure · 1242 yd

Explorer Tom Ecclesiastical enclosure in Inishloe is trying to sell itself to a cow that thinks it’s a premium property investment opportunity. The cow is asking for more grazing rights and less religious history. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Abbey (in ruins)Religious house, Augustinian canons · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Canon Island Abbey on Canon Island is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass! Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Altar PointHeadland · 2.1 mi

Explorer Tom Altar Point stretches out like a welcoming headland in County Clare, ready for your curious boots to explore its rocky edge.

Beagh Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 miBeagh QuayQuay/wharf · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Beagh Quay in Beagh is where a goat allegedly ruled the harbour in 1904 before getting fired by John Horan. It’s still acting smug about its limestone plaque. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Shannon Airport Aviation GalleryMuseum · 3.6 mi

Explorer Tom Shannon Airport Aviation Gallery is a fascinating glimpse into aviation history, nestled in the heart of County Clare.

Dangan CastleCastle · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Dangan Castle, named for 'firm' rock, was built by the MacMahon clan to protect the Shannon estuary with solid stonework.

Peadar Mac Fhlannchadha MemorialMemorial · 4.4 mi

Explorer Tom Peadar Mac Fhlannchadha Memorial is a quiet tribute to a poet’s legacy, etched into the heart of County Clare’s heritage.

Pan Am Flight 1-10Aviation accident · 5.1 mi

Explorer 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.
