OaklandsHouse · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Oaklands in Knock (Clonderalaw), County Clare lost its wings in the 80s but kept its dignity. Built around 1800, it’s a single-storey house with limestone steps that look like they’ve seen things. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Ballyartney HouseFarm house · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Ballyartney House in Ballyartney has been around since the late 1600s, so it’s seen more scandals than you have. The wind keeps picking on it because it won’t stop gossiping. Go at sunset and thank me later.
Clonderalaw BayBay · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Clonderalaw Bay offers a gentle curve of water in County Clare, perfect for spotting seabirds from the shore.
Grave YardGraveyard · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Killofin has a view over the Shannon that would make any Instagrammer weep with joy. There was a prophecy about it, but it never came true, which is typical for these places. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
Labasheeda QuayVisitor information · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Labasheeda Quay has me checking the name twice; the account will not tell me if a rat ever set paw here.
Labasheeda BayBay · 4.3 miExplorer Tom Labasheeda Bay is where the road crosses its head at low tide, offering a glimpse of the Shannon estuary in the distance.
St Senan's WellSpring · 5.1 miExplorer Tom St Senan's Well marks his birthplace on the duck field. Born in 488 AD and still making waves today. Check for any ducks hanging around, they might be his ancestors in disguise.

Scattery IslandVisitor information · 9.6 miExplorer Tom Scattery Island has me wondering if it's a place where people go to find a secret; the account doesn't explain why I should be curious.
Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 9.6 miExplorer Tom Castle on Scattery Island would rate your visit two stars because you didn’t bring proper shoes. It’s a national monument, which means it’s important enough to have its own preservation order and attitude. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Scattery Island Visitor CentreVisitor information · 9.6 miExplorer Tom Scattery Island Visitor Centre has me thinking it's a place where tourists get lost in the fog; the account says it's only open in certain seasons.
CLogaus or Round TowerRound tower · 9.7 miExplorer Tom CLogaus or Round Tower on Scattery Island is twenty-six metres high but has no floors or ladders left inside. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might actually be true.
Doughmore BeachBeach / strand · 10 miExplorer Tom Doughmore Beach offers great surf but shifting sands, so keep an eye out if you’re brave enough to paddle.
