Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in AughavinnaFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 348 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Aughavinna is joined to its neighbour like a couple arguing in public. It gets overlooked by higher ground, which is just rude. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.
Moanbeg FortFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 390 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Moanbeg Fort is basically a raised platform that thinks it's too good for everyone else. A fiddler played there all night until the cows got confused and wandered off. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Catholic Church of the Holy RosaryChurch/chapel · 695 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 playground723 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A children's playground that’s filled with activity and the sounds of laughter in County Clare.
Roadford BridgeBridge · 978 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.
KnockacarnMountain / peak · 1479 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Knockacarn is a rugged presence in the hills, its summit marked by the enduring strength of the land it guards.
Doonmacfelim Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.1 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.
Doolin CaveCave · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
Doonagore Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Doonagore Castle in ruins is playing hard to get in County Clare. I reckon a ghost lives there now and eats all the mail. Bring your own biscuits, because the locals definitely hoard them.
Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin PierVisitor information · 1.9 miExplorer Tom Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin Pier has me imagining a place where the pier is as long as the tide
Doolin PointHeadland · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Doolin Point features a limestone platform in County Clare, where Atlantic waves crash energetically against the rock face.
Ballaghaline PointHeadland · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Ballaghaline Point looks out toward Crab Island and Inisheer from this headland, framing a lovely view across the water.
