Explorer Tom Caherduff in Glascloon is having an existential crisis because its official record hasn't been uploaded yet. It’s just a name and a vibe right now, which is honestly more exciting than any boring historical fact could be. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
Doonbeg FortFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 376 ydExplorer Tom Doonbeg Fort in Glascloon is refusing to fall down because it thinks it’s tougher than Trump's wall. It’s a fairy fort that has outlasted empires and fashion trends, so don't go expecting it to bow to you. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
Saint Senan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 981 ydExplorer Tom Saint Senan's Catholic Church in Carrowblough Beg is an 1870 church with projecting confessionals that look like little side rooms for secrets. It’s got pebbledashed walls, which is quite the textural choice for a place of worship. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
Doonmore CastleRuins · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Doonmore Castle is recorded as ruins in County Clare, part of the Castles of Munster: Doonmore, Clare.
Doonmore Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Doonmore Castle is destroyed but still taking up space in my head like a bad memory. It was nearly sold for a horse, which honestly seems fair given the condition. Go in good boots and better humour.
bridge2.8 miExplorer Tom Bridge in Doonbeg has a dog in charge who barks at any car that honks too loud. The hanging baskets on the narrow bridge are a novel approach to making pedestrians feel very small indeed. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
George's HeadHeadland · 3.6 miExplorer Tom George's Head sits by Moore Bay in Kilkee, a spot where history and sea meet on this stretch of coast.
Doughmore BeachBeach / strand · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Doughmore Beach offers great surf but shifting sands, so keep an eye out if you’re brave enough to paddle.
Kilkee CliffsViewpoint · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Kilkee Cliffs has me imagining cliffs that are more about the view than the actual rock formations

IllaunawhillaIslet · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Illaunbeg, you're a quiet islet. I wonder if there's anything special about your rocky terrain.
