Saint Colman's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 76 yd

Explorer Tom Saint Colman's Catholic Church in Ballybranagan would totally cope on a reality show with its tapered tower and old stone. It’s got that 'I’m ancient but I still look good' vibe going for it. Look up, the best bit

mill (wind)451 yd

Explorer Tom Mill in Kinvarra was designed by a mother-in-law who wanted everything to be perfectly aligned. It’s missing its roof and internals, so it’s basically just a fancy wall now. Toast it with a cup of imaginary tea.

Wedge tomb in Doorus DemesneWedge tomb · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Wedge tomb in Doorus Demesne has a chamber formed of uprights. It would buy a yacht with a lotto win and park it on the roof. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.

CastleCastle, tower house · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Dungory West is missing its description, so I’m just vibing. Have a wander and a wonder, because that’s all the info I’ve got on it right now.

Turlough HillMountain / peak · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Turlough Hill, a mountain that’s as ancient as the limestone pavement that surrounds it in County Clare.

St. Sorneys WellHoly well · 4.5 mi

Explorer Tom St. Sorneys Well has seven steps and a tradition of patterns that sound like a very organized gym routine. It bragged about surviving storms, but mostly it’s just there for the votive offerings. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
