Hut site in Fanore MoreHut site · 56 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Fanore More sits right at the foot of a cliff, looking very smug about its location. It’s part of a whole complex of enclosures, like a medieval suburb. Count the crows up there twice, they’re probably keeping score of your wandering.
Field system in Fanore MoreField system · 81 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Field system in Fanore More sits on a cliff ledge, watching the Caher River with judgmental eyes. It’s low walls and thorn bushes, basically nature’s messy hair. Stand on the spot and imagine the gossip it's heard.
garda station/constabulary barracks149 ydExplorer Tom Garda station in Fanore More is now a hostel, so the ghosts have to share a bathroom with backpackers. I bet a poet fell in the ditch nearby trying to find inspiration. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise you it will be.
Fanore BridgeBridge · 249 ydExplorer Tom Fanore Bridge in Fanore More spans the river like it owns the place, which it probably does. I bet there's a biscuit tin of gold under that arch. Bring a flask and pretend you own the whole damn river too.

Ballyvaughan Black Head LoopWalking route · 1.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballyvaughan Black Head Loop in County Clare sounds like a proper adventure. Black head? Maybe it's just dark and moody. Mind your step on that one!

Faunarooska Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska Castle in Faunarooska is planning its retirement on the slopes of Slieve Elva. It looks like it’s napping with one eye open at the Aran Islands. Hum something sad nearby, it adds atmosphere.
FaunarooskaCave · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Faunarooska sits on the Burren, near Black Head; I picture dramatic cliffs and winds that make your hair stand up.
