Dromore Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1545 ydExplorer Tom Dromore Castle used to be on an island, which sounds like a very expensive holiday home. Teige built it, probably while arguing about who gets the best chair. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub that lasts all night.
Dromore CastleCastle · 1548 ydExplorer Tom Dromore Castle sits by Dromore Lough, featuring a tall chimneystack and guard rooms, easily found near a large nature reserve.
Nutfield BridgeBridge · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Nutfield Bridge in AUGHRIM (Kelly), NUTFIELD, County Clare is hump-backed and rude to the river Fergus. Built around 1800, it looks like it’s trying to sneeze over the water. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Kelly MausoleumMausoleum · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Kelly Mausoleum is from 1882 and has an octagonal shaft with a conical cap that looks like a giant pencil sharpener. It’s got stepped buttresses that are purely for dramatic effect, probably to scare off raccoons. Go at sunset and thank me later when the shadows make it look even spookier.

Cross in RoughanCross · 7.8 miExplorer Tom Cross in Roughan is a fragment that got kicked out of the club. It’s now living its best life in a depot. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
European ash8.1 miExplorer Tom European ash that probably thinks it's a fancy French willow but with better posture. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from my mates.
Poulnabrone - Burren GeositeVisitor information · 12 miExplorer Tom Poulnabrone - Burren Geosite has me thinking it's a place where the earth has a special shape; the account doesn't say what's special about it.
