Field boundary in Nooaff EastField boundary · 668 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Field boundary in Nooaff East is drawing a straight line that curves just when you expect it to quit. It’s basically a fence with commitment issues. Pretend you're a lost aristocrat, nobody will check.

Bullaun stone in Kilquane (islands By.)Bullaun stone · 683 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Bullaun stone in Kilquane sits at a children’s burial ground, which is a bit heavy for a quick stop, but it’s charmingly odd. I heard two families feuded over who owned the view from here. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.

Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 683 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Burial Ground in Kilquane is a children's burial ground that a bishop refused to visit because he was stuck in traffic. Count the crows, then count again.

RathcraggaunFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 702 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom Rathcraggaun started because two lads made a stupid bet in the pub about who could dig the deepest hole. One of them is probably still down there regretting his life choices. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and absolutely no plans for tomorrow.

Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in RathcraggaunFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 938 ydComputer-made picture

Explorer Tom This Rathcraggaun fort looks like it gave up on being impressive about two hundred years ago. I bet if you talked to it, it’d just sigh and tell you to go away because it’s trying to nap in peace. Make a wish, but keep your expectations low, yeah?

Inch BridgeBridge · 1729 yd

Explorer Tom Inch Bridge has five arches but only three have water under them now, which is basically architectural embarrassment. The River Claureen doesn't even use all of its real estate anymore. Pop by and tell it it's looking well, like you’d say to a friend with a bad haircut.

Bushypark HouseHouse · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Bushypark House was built in 1820 and now acts as a health centre, which is a bit of a vibe shift. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Shallee Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.7 mi

Explorer 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.

Mid Clare WayWalking route · 2.3 miComputer-made picture

Explorer 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.

European ash6.5 mi

Explorer 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.
