Man-made underground passage in Commons NorthMan-made underground passage · 299 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Commons North is a broken tunnel in a natural hollow, looking like something a giant dug with a spoon. One end is smashed, so imagine trying to walk through it without falling over your own feet. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Fulacht fia in Commons NorthFulacht fia · 307 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Fulacht fia in Commons North is hiding in semi-karst ground, probably shivering because it's so damp. A bird might be living there, but honestly, that bird needs to find somewhere drier with better neighbours. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look at the mud.

Burren National ParkVisitor information · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Burren National Park is a wild sanctuary where nature's secrets are waiting to be discovered in County Clare

Saint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Killinaboy is now an outbuilding, which means its New Year’s resolution was to stop being holy and start storing things. It’s got a square-headed opening from 1975 that looks like a yawn. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name like 'Grumpy'.

Mullaghmore loop orangeWalking route · 1.7 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mullaghmore loop orange in County Clare sounds like a fruit basket! Or maybe just an energetic route. Keep your eyes open for squirrels hiding nuts.

Glasgeivnagh HillMountain / peak · 1.8 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Glasgeivnagh Hill is a rugged landmark, its summit marked by the enduring strength of the land it guards.

Killinaboy Round TowerVisitor attraction · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Killinaboy Round Tower has me thinking it’s a tower that’s as old as the name suggests, but I’m still in doubt.

Kilinaboy Church (in ruins)Church · 1.8 mi

Explorer Tom Kilinaboy Church holds a fake world record for being the most photogenic ruin in County Clare, according to its own PR team. It was founded by Iníon Baoith, so it's got serious saint-cred going on. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch before you do.

Mullaghmore loop whiteWalking route · 1.9 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Mullaghmore loop white in County Clare is all about purity and simplicity! Probably a gentle stroll through fields. Easy mode, I'd say. Enjoy the breeze!

KnockloonMountain / peak · 2.2 miComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Knockloon, a peak that’s got a name that sounds like it was made for a song in County Clare.

Leamaneh Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Leamaneh Castle in Leamaneh North is showing off its five-storey ego again, thinking it’s too good for the locals. It needs a better agent before it ends up in a tourist brochure, so get a photo with it first.

Leamaneh CastleCastle · 2.6 mi

Explorer Tom Leamaneh Castle was built about 1480 as a basic multi-storied Irish tower house, later surrendered to Henry VIII.
