Explorer Tom Font in Killilagh is lying flat in a church with a double socket, which feels like a nesting doll situation for holy water. It would handle a nosey neighbour by simply not being interesting enough to poke at. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions.
Roadford BridgeBridge · 558 ydExplorer Tom Roadford Bridge has six arches, which is a lot of effort for something you just walk across. Built in 1810, it’s probably tired of carrying cars instead of horses. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from drunk farmers since the Victorian era.
Catholic Church of the Holy RosaryChurch/chapel · 688 ydExplorer Tom In Ballyvoe, the Holy Rosary church from 1820 wears a trefoil opening above its door. Its paired lancet windows suggest a history of community gathering and prayer.

Doonagore Castle in ruinsCastle, tower house · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Doonagore Castle in ruins is playing hard to get in County Clare. I reckon a ghost lives there now and eats all the mail. Bring your own biscuits, because the locals definitely hoard them.
Doolin PointHeadland · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Doolin Point features a limestone platform in County Clare, where Atlantic waves crash energetically against the rock face.
Ballaghaline PointHeadland · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Ballaghaline Point looks out toward Crab Island and Inisheer from this headland, framing a lovely view across the water.
Crab IslandIslet · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Crab Island, an islet in County Clare, is a bit of a wild spot with a long, rocky shoreline.
Doolin CaveCave · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Doolin Cave stands proud in County Clare, and I can practically hear the sea echoing off its stone walls.
