IndicatedWeir, fish · 152 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Weir in Cloonconeen is a giant stone fish trap that looks like it’s trying to hug the bay. It’s huge and rectangular, basically a net made of rocks for lazy fishermen. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough to make them happy.

Kilcredaun Head LighthouseLighthouse · 1328 ydExplorer Tom Kilcredaun Head Lighthouse stands firm against the sea, likely keeping watch over sailors who might otherwise get thoroughly lost in the fog.
Kilcredaun LighthouseLighthouse · 1354 ydExplorer Tom Kilcredaun Lighthouse was truncated in 1941 and converted to electric light in 1979, so it’s basically had a haircut and a new brain. It’s got cast-iron railings around the lantern that look like it’s trying to keep its secrets safe. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check if you're actually getting paid.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rahona WestFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1554 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Rahona West is involved in a bitter dispute over parking rights with the fairies next door. It’s all about who gets the good spot. Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous.
Kilcredaun PointHeadland · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Kilcredaun Point overlooks the Shannon estuary, a place where legend says a holy well once hid its watery secrets away.
Carrigaholt BayVisitor information · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Carrigaholt Bay is a peaceful spot where the sea and land meet in County Clare
Carrigaholt CastleCastle, tower house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Carrigaholt Castle on Rinemackaderrig has a name that sounds like you bit your tongue twice. It was home to short-sighted chiefs who probably needed reading glasses to see the siege coming. Bring a camera and your most suspicious face.
Bromore CliffsCliff · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Bromore Cliffs has caught my eye in County Kerry. I bet a cliff with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Grave of the Yellow MenMemorial · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Grave of the Yellow Men: a mysterious site where the yellow hats of the past still linger in the soil
IllaunonearaunIslet · 4.7 miExplorer Tom Illaunonearaun! A uniquely shaped islet near Moveen West, where the sea meets the land in a way that feels like it's been crafted by magic!
Cloghaunsavaun Castle (Site of)Castle, unclassified · 4.8 miExplorer Tom Cloghaunsavaun Castle protected a promontory overlooking the Atlantic, but now it’s just a memory with a great view of nothing. If it were on a reality show, it would complain about the lighting. Ideal spot for a dramatic phone call.
Dunlicky PointViewpoint · 5.2 miExplorer Tom Dunlicky Point has me wondering if the inlet is just a fancy name for a puddle in the sky
