Altar390 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Altar in Newhall is basically a stone bench that thinks it's a cathedral. It sits by the lake and pretends to be deep. Pop by and tell it it's looking well.
Cursing stone in NewhallCursing stone · 390 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Cursing stone in Newhall sits right next to an altar, which is just rude, like cursing at your dinner. I bet the last person who used it is still stuck in traffic because of it. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
Killone AbbeyHeritage attraction · 495 ydExplorer Tom Killone Abbey: a place where history and legend intertwine in County Clare's past
Killone Abbey (in ruins)Religious house, Augustinian nuns · 497 ydExplorer Tom Killone Abbey was an Augustinian nunnery where the sisters probably had a very good sense of humour. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun part, and enjoy the steep shelf overlooking the lough without falling off it.
Abbey WoodForest · 636 ydExplorer Tom Abbey Wood sounds like it holds ancient secrets, perhaps waiting patiently for a curious explorer to discover its hidden, mossy paths today.
Barntick HouseFarm house · 877 ydExplorer Tom Barntick House in Barntick is a 1665 farmhouse with a carved limestone door surround that demands respect. It’s been sticking it out since the seventeenth century, so it’s got plenty of stories to tell over a pint. Stick around for the light changing, it’s a show.
Killone Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 1438 ydExplorer Tom Killone Castle is unclassified and sitting next to an abbey, which is weird. I think it’s having a drama with the nearest tree over property lines. Stand back, squint hard, and it looks like a castle, not just a pile of rocks.
Rockmount WoodWood · 1564 ydExplorer Tom Rockmount Wood in County Clare sounds like it has a solid foundation, with rocks providing interesting textures to walk on.
Alice and Gwendoline CaveMuseum · 1741 ydExplorer Tom Alice and Gwendoline Cave, listed as a museum, suggests these names have a storied history for visitors.
Irish Famine MemorialMemorial · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Irish Famine Memorial: a somber reminder of the past, where sorrow and resilience meet
Clarecastle PlaygroundChildren's playground · 1.5 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The fourteenth Children's playground in County Clare is still a mystery, unknown access, but I imagine it’s a delightful spot where kids can run and play with the wind at their back.
Clare CastleCastle · 1.7 miExplorer Tom Clare Castle stands on the east side of the River Fergus, where it widens into its estuary, defining the town's name.
