Fairy fort / stone ringfort in TullyodeaFairy fort / stone ringfort · 447 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Tullyodea has had so many names it’s given up trying to remember its own. It’s just happy to be called whatever you want, as long as you bring snacks. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lismuinga WestFairy fort / stone ringfort · 501 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Lismuinga West is unrecorded, so the local sheep are the only historians here. They think you’re a new type of farmer who forgot his hat. It's the kind of place that makes a dull Tuesday interesting if you squint hard enough.
DoonanogeFairy fort / stone ringfort · 580 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Doonanoge is a stone ringfort with very strong opinions on modern buildings. It thinks concrete is for wimps and prefers the look of old, weathered rock. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice.
Hut site in Lismuinga WestHut site · 590 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A hut site in Lismuinga West where nobody knows much because the details are still being sorted out. It would win a county fair for best dressed in mystery. Get there early and have it all to yourself before the crowds arrive.
LismuingaFairy fort / stone ringfort · 591 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lismuinga has no official record, so it’s basically improvising its own history right now. On a reality show, it would be the contestant who refuses to answer questions and just stares at the camera. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle in your head.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in OoankeaghFairy fort / stone ringfort · 700 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Ooankeagh made a New Year's resolution to stop being so mysterious. It failed spectacularly by January 2nd. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Saint Mary's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 1723 ydExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Catholic Church in Ruan Commons is a 1910 cruciform church that looks like it’s ready to teach a very stern history lesson. It’s got a three-stage tower and spire, which is quite the flex for a building. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
mausoleum1.0 miExplorer Tom Mausoleum in Portlecka is holding court for Sir Michael O'Loghlen, the first Catholic Master of the Rolls, which sounds mighty important to him. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
Ballyporty Castle (in ruins) / TowerCastle, tower house · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Ballyporty Castle was renovated by an American architect, which explains why it looks so aggressively tidy for a ruin. Have a sandwich here and call it a heritage lunch, because you're worth it, mate.
Dromore Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Dromore Castle used to be on an island, which sounds like a very expensive holiday home. Teige built it, probably while arguing about who gets the best chair. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub that lasts all night.
Rock IslandIsland · 3.2 miExplorer Tom Rock Island, with its rugged silhouette, stands proudly near Lough Inchiquin’s southern shore.
Inchiquin IslandIslet · 3.3 miExplorer Tom Inchiquin Island! A small islet with a name that sounds like it could be part of a royal lineage, what secrets does it keep in County Clare?
