AdelphiHouse · 1295 ydExplorer Tom Adelphi in Clifden has a basement that’s only partly raised, which is either clever or just lazy architecture from 1810. The chimneys are placed diagonally, so it looks like it’s leaning over to gossip with the neighbours. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
