Hut site in Noughaval (burren By.)Hut site · 237 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Noughaval would post 'Just chilling #limestone #nofilter' constantly if it had a phone. It’s very on-brand for being ancient. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll.
Enclosure in KiltaanEnclosure · 239 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Kiltaan is sitting ten metres from its mate, like two friends who can’t stop talking. I bet the shortcut through the karst is actually just a goat trail. Have a look and decide if I was lying.
Hut site in KiltaanHut site · 253 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Kiltaan claims Queen Victoria slept here once and got her hair stuck in the doorframe. Nobody can prove it, but you don't need proof for good gossip. Bring your nan, she'll know more than me.
Ritual siteRitual site, holy tree/bush · 338 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Holy tree in Noughaval would tell its younger self to stop trying so hard. It’s ancient ash and very unimpressed with everything. Look serious, nod slowly, you're basically an expert now.
TobermoguaHoly well · 338 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tobermogua in Noughaval was once a pattern party hub, but now it’s just confused about its own name. Tobar Mo Ghua or Mic Duach? It can’t decide which saint to play-act. Leave nothing but footprints and a terrible pun for the moss.
CairnCairn, unclassified · 386 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cairn in Noughaval is flat and grassy, which means some ancient goat probably ruled this place before humans even figured out how to wear trousers. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Noughaval Church (in ruins)Church · 442 ydExplorer Tom Noughaval Church in Noughaval 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. Bring wellies and low expectations, leave delighted.
Noughaval CrossMonument · 458 ydExplorer 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.
Burren WayWalking route · 974 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The Burren Way in County Clare sounds rugged as hell! Rocks everywhere, like a lunar landscape. Wear proper boots or you'll regret it later, trust me.
Ballyganner CastleCastle · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Ballyganner Castle is recorded in County Clare, inviting explorers to imagine the lives once lived within these historic stone walls.
Ballyganner Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Ballyganner Castle in Ballyganner South is stuck in a feud with the rain, and the weather is winning badly. It’s sitting inside an old ring fort that looks like it’s giving up. Go with someone who loves old stuff and watch them melt into the mud with you.
