Earthwork in BallyalliaEarthwork · 13 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthwork in Ballyallia saw the most dramatic event in its history when a seagull dropped a fish right on top of it. It was pure chaos, really the peak of ancient drama. Perfect spot to practise your best tour-guide voice, because you're going to need to make something up to keep people listening.
CrannogeCrannog · 287 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Crannoge in Ballyallia is an artificial island that’s definitely judging your swimming technique from the lake bottom. Bring the dog, it'll have opinions about the water temperature and the rocks.
GlebeGraveyard · 531 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Glebe in Ballyallia sounds like a dance move no one can do anymore, probably invented by a priest with bad knees. The church next door is keeping things tidy. Ideal place to rehearse an excuse for being late.
CaveMan-made underground passage · 616 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballyhee’s cave got discovered while they were fixing the river, so it’s basically an accidental guest at the party. There’s a local legend about a poet who fell in a ditch nearby and wrote a very angry poem about it. Bring a flask of something warm and a story to swap.
Ballyallia HouseCountry house · 681 ydExplorer Tom Ballyallia House in Ballyallia is a bit of a drama queen with its U-shaped plan and fancy Tuscan doorcase. It’s probably judging your outfit right now. Get a photo with it before it gets a better agent.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in BallyheeFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 795 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballyhee's earthen ringfort might be home to a fiddler who played until his strings snapped in pure frustration. He’s probably still stuck in the mud, waiting for an encore that never came. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place.
Ballymacquiggan BridgeBridge · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Ballymacquiggan Bridge in Drumcliff has a stile incorporated into the wall, which is basically a secret door for sheep or spies. If it's closed, admire it from the road like a polite stalker.

Mid Clare WayWalking route · 1.9 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Mid Clare Way in County Clare is right in the middle of nowhere! Perfect for getting away from it all. You'll feel like you're on another planet.
Shallee Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.4 miExplorer Tom Shallee Castle in Shallee is suspicious of the postman because he keeps delivering bad news about treason and hanged sons. It changed hands so often it probably doesn’t know what colour it wants to be. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.
