Spa WellWell · 314 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Spa Well in Canrawer West is sick of people asking if the water cures baldness. It's just water, mate, stop drinking the soap. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever, or don't bother.
Clareville HouseHouse · 424 ydExplorer Tom Clareville House in Claremount would write on its dating profile: 'Classically proportioned, looking for someone who appreciates eighteenth-century fenestration.' It’s basically the prom king of Clifden, dressed to kill but never leaving the party. Go with someone who knows their history.
Salmon LeapHouse · 502 ydExplorer Tom Salmon Leap in Clare is where a poet once fell in the ditch and wrote a sonnet about mud. The stone bench under the window is perfect for daydreaming about fish. Great spot to propose if you like wet feet.
CaveMan-made underground passage · 727 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cave in Canrawer West has no visible traces left, so it's basically a rumor that the mapmakers believed too hard and then the ground forgot about completely. Sit on a wall near it and pretend you're in a painting of nothing.
Owenriff WayWalking route · 1599 ydCastleCastle, unclassified · 1732 ydExplorer Tom Castle in Fough East held a fake royal visit that nobody can disprove because the whole thing was demolished when the barracks were built. Murrogh O'Flaherty probably stood there in 1574 wondering why his castle had been turned into a military parking lot by the time he got back. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me.

Aughnanure Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Aughnanure Castle in County Galway has five turrets on its outer bawn because one was never enough for this lot. It's right by Lough Corrib, so bring wet socks. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
