Explorer Tom Abbey Wood sounds like it holds ancient secrets, perhaps waiting patiently for a curious explorer to discover its hidden, mossy paths today.
Killone Abbey (in ruins)Religious house, Augustinian nuns · 559 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.
Killone AbbeyHeritage attraction · 563 ydExplorer Tom Killone Abbey: a place where history and legend intertwine in County Clare's past
Enclosure in Ballaghafadda WestEnclosure · 674 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballaghafadda West has a secret talent for looking like nothing at all, which is hilarious. It’s just an empty patch of ground with big dreams and no evidence to back them up. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than I can.
Enclosure in BallybegEnclosure · 807 ydExplorer Tom Enclosure in Ballybeg thinks Dublin tourists smell like pretzels and arrogance. It’s an enclosure with no business plan but excellent posture on the landscape. Ideal for a moody photo you'll pretend wasn't posed.

Newhall HouseCountry house · 1108 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.
Rockmount WoodWood · 1263 ydExplorer Tom Rockmount Wood in County Clare sounds like it has a solid foundation, with rocks providing interesting textures to walk on.
Killone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 1311 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.
Alice and Gwendoline CaveMuseum · 1486 ydExplorer Tom Alice and Gwendoline Cave, listed as a museum, suggests these names have a storied history for visitors.
Irish Famine MemorialMemorial · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Irish Famine Memorial: a somber reminder of the past, where sorrow and resilience meet

Clare CastleCastle · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Clare Castle stands on the east side of the River Fergus, where it widens into its estuary, defining the town's name.
