Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballyinsheen BegFairy fort / stone ringfort · 84 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ballyinsheen Beg would tell you its secret after three pints of Guinness. Pack a picnic and an excuse for why you're sitting in the dirt.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in GowlaunFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 160 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Gowlaun has a vague rise that looks suspiciously like a fairy snoozing on the job. I bet its best mate is a very confused farmer named Seamus. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Site of Lisdoonvarna CastleCastle, tower house · 553 ydExplorer Tom Site of Lisdoonvarna Castle would be a total disaster on a reality show, probably losing its footing in episode one. It’s a bit of a mess now, but ideal stop for a big stretch and a bigger yawn.
Catholic Church of Our Lady of LourdesChurch/chapel · 1332 ydExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Our Lady of Lourdes in Kilmoon West is having a bit of a moment with its limestone, isn’t it? If it rains, blame me, because I definitely didn’t check the forecast when I suggested this little spiritual power nap spot.
Corpus Christi Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1336 ydExplorer Tom Corpus Christi Catholic Church in Rathbaun is trying very hard to look important with its tower and spire. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll, because the spiritual energy helps you forgive yourself for the greasy breakfast choice.
Children's playground1693 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Clare, this one unknown in terms of access, but I suspect it’s a hidden gem waiting to be explored.
Laraghakea HillMountain / peak · 2.0 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Laraghakea Hill, a peak that’s as mysterious as the legends that surround it in County Clare.
Smithstown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.0 miExplorer Tom Smithstown Castle on a rocky outcrop is officially gone, but I swear it’s just napping. It thinks Dublin tourists are loud and smell like overpriced coffee. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug, even if you're standing in mud.
OughtdarraCliff · 3.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Oughtdarra rises sharply from the ground, a cliff face that challenges the sky and invites you to look down carefully.
High CrossVisitor attraction · 3.8 miExplorer Tom High Cross has me thinking it’s the same as the other High Cross, but I’m still confused.
Burren Centre KilfenoraVisitor information · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Burren Centre Kilfenora is a haven for those seeking the beauty of the Burren in County Clare
BallyryanCliff · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Ballyryan is a lovely limestone cliff in County Clare, just right for quick, sunny climbs with friends on a nice day.
