KnockaunacrogheraBarrow, unclassified · 738 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockaunacroghera is top of the hill, which sounds grand until you realise it might just be where some Spaniards got very lost in 1588. A dance went wrong there centuries ago, and nobody has recovered from it yet. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GortaclobFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 853 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gortaclob sits on a boggy rise, which means if you slip, you're joining the locals permanently. It's got wide views except for the bit where it gets high ground. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown.
KnockacarnMountain / peak · 870 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockacarn is a rugged presence in the hills, its summit marked by the enduring strength of the land it guards.
Catholic Church of the Holy RosaryChurch/chapel · 966 ydExplorer Tom In Ballyvoe, the Holy Rosary church from 1820 wears a trefoil opening above its door. Its paired lancet windows suggest a history of community gathering and prayer.
Children's playground1246 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A children's playground that’s filled with activity and the sounds of laughter in County Clare.
Roadford BridgeBridge · 1612 ydExplorer Tom Roadford Bridge has six arches, which is a lot of effort for something you just walk across. Built in 1810, it’s probably tired of carrying cars instead of horses. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from drunk farmers since the Victorian era.
Doolin CaveCave · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
Doonmacfelim Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Doonmacfelim Castle was built on a mound because the builder had zero imagination. It changed hands so often it probably forgot its own name. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Ballinalacken CastleCastle · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Ballinalacken Castle is a two-stage towerhouse near Doolin, standing as a silent witness to centuries of history in County Clare.
Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin PierVisitor information · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin Pier has me imagining a place where the pier is as long as the tide

Ballaghaline PointHeadland · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Ballaghaline Point looks out toward Crab Island and Inisheer from this headland, framing a lovely view across the water.
