Poplar BridgeBridge · 1442 ydExplorer Tom Poplar Bridge is a hump-back charmer from 1810 that looks like it's trying to hide a secret in its arches. I bet it was built to impress some very serious horse. Take a mate and argue about whether it was for horses or ghosts; neither will admit defeat.
Sheela na GigPublic artwork · 1506 ydExplorer Tom Sheela na Gig in County Clare is a mysterious relic, where art and history meet in a timeless dance
Sheela-na-gig in KillinaboySheela-na-gig · 1507 ydExplorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Killinaboy is built into the church wall, looking like a grim, ribbed statue pouring something out with zero shame. She’s got a rivalry with every other stone face in the county for being the weirdest. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Kilinaboy Church (in ruins)Church · 1511 ydExplorer Tom Kilinaboy Church holds a fake world record for being the most photogenic ruin in County Clare, according to its own PR team. It was founded by Iníon Baoith, so it's got serious saint-cred going on. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch before you do.
Killinaboy Round TowerVisitor attraction · 1516 ydExplorer Tom Killinaboy Round Tower has me thinking it’s a tower that’s as old as the name suggests, but I’m still in doubt.
Cross in RoughanCross · 1580 ydExplorer Tom Cross in Roughan is a fragment that got kicked out of the club. It’s now living its best life in a depot. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Inchiquin Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1744 ydExplorer Tom Inchiquin Castle is perched on a rocky bluff, looking down its nose at the lough below. Built by a king, ruined by time, and still acting like it's the center of the universe. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.
Inchiquin CastleRuins · 1746 ydExplorer Tom Inchiquin Castle is recorded as ruins in County Clare, its open map record supplying location and linked names or public references.
Inchiquin IslandIslet · 1.3 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?
Rock IslandIsland · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Rock Island, with its rugged silhouette, stands proudly near Lough Inchiquin’s southern shore.
European ash4.7 miExplorer Tom European ash that probably thinks it's a fancy French willow but with better posture. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from my mates.
Burren Centre KilfenoraVisitor information · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Burren Centre Kilfenora is a haven for those seeking the beauty of the Burren in County Clare
