De Valera Public LibraryChurch/chapel · 1 ydExplorer Tom De Valera Public Library used to be a church, so it’s basically a bookshop with a soul crisis. Bring sandwiches inside; the gulls outside will thank you for not sharing with them directly.
Bindon HouseHouse · 105 ydExplorer Tom Bindon House in Lifford was built by a matchmaker who believed in stone-cold commitment. It’s been an office since forever, so the paperwork is thicker than the limestone walls. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
Bank HouseBank/financial institution · 107 ydExplorer Tom Bank House in Lifford is an Italianate-style bank with a manager's house attached, which sounds like a rich man’s ego made of stone. It would describe the 1800s to a teenager as 'harder and dirtier.' Pack a picnic and an excuse.
BellevueHouse · 122 ydExplorer Tom Bellevue in Lifford is now a library, which means the ghosts only whisper about overdue fines. A fairy dispute over parking rights started there in 1820 and nobody has settled it since. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
Bank of IrelandBank/financial institution · 123 ydExplorer Tom The Bank of Ireland in Lifford has carved colonnettes flanking the entrance doors, which is fancy talk for 'look how important we are.' It would describe itself to a stranger as 'historic but not fussy.' Have a chat with it, nobody's watching.
New BridgeBridge · 154 ydExplorer Tom New Bridge in Lifford replaced its original stone parapet with metal railings, which feels like swapping a suit for sneakers. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up.
Graveslab in Clonroad BegGraveslab · 195 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Graveslab in Clonroad Beg is sitting on a church wall, judging your Dublin accent from miles away. It's seen it all, even that guy with the hat. Tell it a joke, it's been a long time since anyone did.
Stone sculpture in Clonroad BegStone sculpture · 202 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Standing stone in Clooney is playing hard to get with no description whatsoever. It’s probably just a rock pretending to be mysterious. Go now, before it gets famous and charges entry fees.
Ennis AbbeyMuseum · 209 ydExplorer Tom Ennis Abbey is a museum of history, where the stories of the past are preserved in the walls of this ancient site in County Clare.
Clare MuseumMuseum · 299 ydExplorer Tom Clare Museum is a time capsule of history, with exhibits that bring the past to life in Ennis, County Clare.
Mid Clare WayWalking route · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mid Clare Way in County Clare is right in the middle of nowhere! Perfect for getting away from it all. You'll feel like you're on another planet.
Shallee Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Shallee Castle in Shallee is suspicious of the postman because he keeps delivering bad news about treason and hanged sons. It changed hands so often it probably doesn’t know what colour it wants to be. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
