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 · 567 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 · 674 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.
Aran View SwalletCave · 895 ydExplorer Tom Aran View Swallet likely offers a dramatic peek at County Clare's horizon, inviting you to imagine a scenic cliffside view.
Doonmacfelim Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1215 ydExplorer Tom Doonmacfelim Castle was built on a mound because the builder had zero imagination. It changed hands so often it probably forgot its own name. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Court tomb in TeergoneanCourt tomb · 1283 ydExplorer Tom Court tomb in Teergonean has two chambers and zero chill, sitting in that limestone hollow like it’s judging your hiking boots. It looks like a fancy stone house for ghosts who like privacy. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin PierVisitor information · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Wild Atlantic Way: Doolin Pier has me imagining a place where the pier is as long as the tide
Doolin PointHeadland · 1.4 miExplorer Tom Doolin Point features a limestone platform in County Clare, where Atlantic waves crash energetically against the rock face.
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.
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.
