Headstone in KillilaghHeadstone · 16 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Headstone in Killilagh is stuck outside the church, bragging about its Latin from 1630. It thinks it’s fancy because of a date, honestly. Find the date carved somewhere and feel clever for a minute.
Enclosure in KillilaghEnclosure · 32 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Killilagh refuses to fall down because it’s too lazy to move anywhere else. It’s just vibing on that ridge, probably listening to old folk songs. Toast it with a cup of tea and move on to the next.

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.
