Catholic Church of Our Lady of the AssumptionChurch/chapel · 1.2 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Our Lady of the Assumption in Coolready sounds like it’s floating, which is a lie, but a nice one. Perfect detour when the satnav has a meltdown and you need somewhere that looks like it knows exactly where everything is going.
Fort EdwardHouse · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Fort Edward in Coolready isn't really a fort, it's a house with a breakfront and a superiority complex. It used to be a parochial house, so the priest probably wrote bad poetry here. Have a wander and a wonder, but don't fall for the name.
Tuamgraney Garden of RemembrancePark · 2.8 miExplorer Tom Tuamgraney Garden of Remembrance is a peaceful spot where history and nature blend in County Clare.
Common Lime2.8 miExplorer Tom This Common Lime tree has seen more emperors than most of us have seen dentists. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat for immediate chaos.
Ballynahinch Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 2.9 miExplorer Tom Castle in Ballymulcashel has a curse for anyone who doesn't wave at it first. It’s perched high up, so if you ignore it, your phone loses signal. Don't be rude to the tower house, it remembers everything. Bring your own legend, I've run out.
Pedunculate Oak4.2 miExplorer Tom Another majestic pedunculate oak could be spreading its wide branches, offering a perfect spot to rest and reflect.
MoylussaMountain / peak · 5.8 miExplorer Tom Moylussa, a peak that’s as rugged as the moorland that surrounds it in County Clare.
MagheraMountain / peak · 6.6 miExplorer Tom Maghera, a mountain that's got a name that sounds like it was carved from the cliffs of County Clare.
Inishcaltra or Holy IslandIslet · 6.7 miExplorer Tom Inishcaltra or Holy Island! A place where history and legend meet, with ruins of old churches and a feel of timelessness about it!

Lady WellHoly well · 6.7 miExplorer Tom Lady Well on Holy Island is set into the slope right by the shore, so it’s got the best seat in the house for watching the sea. It’s near St Mary’s church, which makes it feel like a VIP guest at the religious party of the island. Pretend you’re a lost aristocrat, because nobody will check your ID.
Crow IslandIslet · 7.8 miExplorer Tom Crow Island, you're a tough one to find, but I bet the crows are more than happy to show off their feathers.
