CooleHouse · 31 yd

Explorer Tom Coole in Lacka does weird things when nobody is looking, like rearranging its ridge crestings. It’s one of a pair with modest grandeur and balanced proportions. Bring a jacket, it's not as warm as you think inside.

BrooklandsHouse · 44 ydThe GrangeCountry house · 64 ydCastle Connell (in ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 953 yd

Explorer Tom Castle Connell in Coolbane started because two lads made a bet in a pub about who could build bigger. King John agreed to pay for it, which is how most bad decisions happen. Go in good boots and better humour, trust me.

Castle ConnellRuins · 964 ydOld PumpHeritage attraction · 2.2 mi

Explorer Tom Old Pump stands like a time capsule in County Clare, whispering tales of forgotten engineering and rustic charm.

Cath.Cathedral · 6.5 mi

Explorer 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.

TobermurraghHoly well · 6.5 mi

Explorer 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 · 7.1 mi

Explorer Tom Brian Boru Fort stands as a testament to ancient strength, where history and heritage intertwine in County Clare's heart.

Slieve FelimMountain / peak · 8.7 miLaghtea HillMountain / peak · 11 mi

Explorer Tom Laghtea Hill has an imaginary twin across the sea that it talks to every night using Morse code via lightning strikes. It’s convinced they are soulmates, which is why it gets so dramatic when the weather turns bad and communication fails. Stop the car, it's worth the hazard lights.
