Ric barracks616 ydExplorer Tom RIC barracks in Munnia had a fiddler who played all night long until the cows stopped chewing their cud out of sheer boredom. The guardhouses are unusual enough to make you think there was definitely some strange activity happening around Lord Bloomfield’s estate. Take a look at those buildings from afar, please!
Ciamaltha HouseGate lodge · 964 ydExplorer Tom Ciamaltha House gate lodge is trying to teach history lessons but keeps getting distracted by its own fancy driveway design. It wants to show off its social status, which was pretty high back in the late nineties. Wave at it from the road like you know exactly why it's so important.
Doonan's HillMountain / peak · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Doonan's Hill was definitely built by a guy who just wanted a quiet nap but kept getting interrupted by passing farmers. He probably said, 'Just one more hill,' and then fell asleep before he even finished stacking it up. Make a wish there, because it’s had centuries of practice listening to people ask for rain.
Ballyhourigan WoodsForest · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Ballyhourigan Woods is secretly proud of one specific potato that grew in its soil and became a local legend for being rounder than usual. The trees guard this vegetable heritage like it’s a state secret involving gold and secrets. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.
CastleCastle, ringwork · 2.3 miExplorer Tom Castle in Kilmacogue is just a big dirt circle that thinks it’s having a moment. It has very strong feelings about the bumpy little road leading to it and would tell you off for driving too fast. Bring sandwiches, the gulls will thank you.
Keeper HillMountain / peak · 3.5 miExplorer Tom Keeper Hill is getting picked on by the wind because it stands right next to a particularly loud chimney stack. It keeps complaining about the noise, but nobody listens because it’s just a hill with no real authority whatsoever over the weather patterns. Best seen with a hangover and a sausage roll in hand.
Silvermines ViewpointViewpoint · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Silvermines Viewpoint in County Tipperary has a tall tale about a hidden tunnel to the pub that locals swear exists but nobody can find, no matter how hard they look. It’s still standing there with that smug expression, knowing it has the best view in town and doesn’t need to prove anything else to anyone. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable.
Cath.Cathedral · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Cathedral in Shantraud is hiding its light under a very large bushel of mystery. The locals probably think the roof leaks because they forgot to pay the celestial plumber. It’s a proper spot for a flask of tea and a big, confused think about history.
Brian Boru Heritage CentreVisitor information · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Brian Boru Heritage Centre is a treasure trove of history and culture in County Clare
TobermurraghHoly well · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Tobermurragh claims Brian Boru’s son got baptized here, which is a big claim for a well. Get there early and have it all to yourself before the tourists show up.

Brian Boru FortHeritage attraction · 5.8 miExplorer Tom Brian Boru Fort stands as a testament to ancient strength, where history and heritage intertwine in County Clare's heart.
Rinnaman PointHeadland · 7.0 miExplorer Tom From a pleasure boat, Rinnaman Point looks like a distant dream, a speck of land that beckons you to explore its shores.
