DoonHeritage attraction · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Doon is where a local lad swears he invented the concept of standing still just to prove a point, which we all know is a lie. He probably just got tired of walking and called it a cultural heritage moment for the cameras. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name.

Mass RockMemorial · 1.7 mi

Explorer Tom Mass Rock in County Clare would be a terrible history teacher because it’s too stubborn to turn around and show you what it saw from that angle. It just sits there judging your posture while pretending it knows exactly why it was placed as a memorial spot. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.

Belvoir HouseCountry house · 1.7 mi

Explorer 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 mi

Explorer Tom Derrymore House is stuck in a feud over who gets the best view of the sunset, with two families shouting at each other from opposite sides. It’s just a stone wall trying to stay neutral while the drama unfolds around it like a bad soap opera. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.

Broadford Mass RockMemorial · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Broadford Mass Rock in County Clare offers a shortcut that is definitely not a shortcut because you have to climb up a hill just to walk past the rock. It’s got that ‘I’m important’ energy going on, even though it’s basically just a big stone with good PR and a bit of history attached. Have a wander and a wonder.

CastleCastle, tower house · 2.2 mi

Explorer 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 mi

Explorer Tom Deerpark Wood has a retirement plan involving becoming a very fancy compost heap in about three hundred years. It’s already started slowing down its growth to prepare for the big nap. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

Kilkishen Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.5 mi

Explorer 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 mi

Explorer Tom Calluragh Wood would spill all its secrets after three pints, mostly about the time it lost a bet to a hedgehog. It keeps its mouth shut during business hours but gets quite gossipy once the sun goes down. Go on a wet day, it suits the mood.

CraggaunowenNationally known place · 3.9 mi

Explorer Tom Craggaunowen in County Clare would explain the eighteenth century to a teenager like it’s a really bad group chat with no signal. It’s got reconstructed roundhouses that look like they’ve seen better days, but they’re doing their best to keep up appearances for the visitors. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Grave YardGraveyard · 5.0 mi

Explorer 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.

Dermot and Granias BedWedge tomb · 5.8 mi

Explorer Tom Dermot and Granias Bed in Milltown has strong opinions about the road leading to it, thinking it’s too straight and lacks character. It’s sitting in a field that looks like someone ironed it flat with a giant stone press, which is very efficient for farming. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
