Mass RockMemorial · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Mass Rock: a sacred stone that holds the echoes of faith and tradition in County Clare
Belvoir HouseCountry house · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Belvoir House in Belvoir Demesne burnt down in 1880, probably because the builder got tired of the damp. It’s now just a fancy skeleton wearing pinnacles like it’s going to a party that cancelled. Ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Derrymore HouseHouse · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Another Derrymore House is hiding a scandal from 1800 that probably involves a very bad haircut. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think about why you moved to Clare.
Broadford Mass RockMemorial · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Broadford Mass Rock is a memorial to faith and tradition, a quiet place where the past meets the present in County Clare.
CastleCastle, tower house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Castle in Enagh West is a tower house that hates the rain personally. The weather has a long grudge against it for some reason I can’t explain. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me the truth.
Deerpark WoodForest · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Deerpark Wood in County Clare sounds like a place where woodland cabins and treehouses might just be a dream away.
Kilkishen Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 miExplorer Tom Kilkishen Castle would order a massive portion of chips with extra vinegar if it could talk. It’s sitting in the demesne looking like it wants to hide from the tourists. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Calluragh WoodForest · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Calluragh Wood in County Clare awaits, a mysterious forest where the map record is surprisingly quiet about its secrets.
CraggaunowenNationally known place · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Craggaunowen in County Clare is a living past experience that refuses to let go of history like a drunk uncle at a party. Tell me if the gossip I made up is true.
Grave YardGraveyard · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Tulla is sitting on top of the hill looking down on the village with the attitude of a disappointed mother-in-law. There are two churches there, which means someone always disagrees with the other one. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
Explorer Tom Dermot and Granias Bed in Milltown was once part of a pig-sty, which is wild for a royal resting spot. Imagine the smell on that honeymoon night. Pack a picnic and an excuse.
