Crannog in BallycullinanCrannog · 154 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Crannog in Ballycullinan is proud of being a houseboat from before boats were cool. It’s basically a pile of dirt on stilts that missed the boat. Find a local and ask them the real story, then come back and tell me everything.
Enclosure in CloonaEnclosure · 177 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Cloona claims there's a hidden tunnel straight to the local pub, but nobody has found it yet. Probably just mud. Bring a jacket; it is never as warm as I promise it will be when we arrive there.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in CloonaFairy fort / stone ringfort · 586 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / stone ringfort in Cloona would get 'Finally Resting' on its tombstone because it’s so tired of the wind. It’s dramatic, but I love it. Whisper a secret at it; honestly, it has kept far worse secrets over the years.
IndicatedEnclosure · 594 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Enclosure in Cloona complains to the council about everything from the light to the noise. It’s a real diva, really. If it rains while you're there, just blame me for choosing this particular spot for our adventure.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in DrumcavanFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1018 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Earthen ringfort in Drumcavan does weird stuff when nobody’s looking, like rearranging its own dirt. Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
O'Dea CastleCastle · 1391 ydExplorer Tom O'Dea Castle is a recorded castle in County Clare, with a photo taken by Richard G. O'Dea releasing all rights.
Mollaneen HouseFarm house · 1434 ydExplorer Tom Mollaneen House, a farmhouse from 1770, now stands in ruins with cut-stone soldier arches still visible on its ground floor openings.
Dysert Church (in ruins)Church · 1656 ydExplorer Tom Dysert Church was founded by St Tola around AD 700, which is ancient enough for my taste. A local claims to have invented it, but I doubt it. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost.
Children's playground2.1 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This children's playground is a hidden gem where kids can run, play, and explore freely.

Ballygriffy CastleCastle, tower house · 2.4 miExplorer Tom Ballygriffy Castle in Ballygriffy South has a curse on it: if you don’t wave, your phone loses signal. It’s a tower house that demands attention. Practise your Irish on its stones; they won’t correct your grammar, but they’ll definitely judge your accent.
European ash4.5 miExplorer Tom European ash that probably thinks it's a fancy French willow but with better posture. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from my mates.
Mid Clare WayWalking route · 4.6 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.
