Explorer Tom Kykbegardrynneeb Cgs Be. Gd. (Dis.) in Ballycarroll has a name that looks like it was typed by a cat walking on a keyboard. It’s definitely not an acronym for anything sensible. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Nutfield BridgeBridge · 1.0 mi

Explorer Tom Nutfield Bridge in AUGHRIM (Kelly), NUTFIELD, County Clare is hump-backed and rude to the river Fergus. Built around 1800, it looks like it’s trying to sneeze over the water. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.

Dromore Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.1 mi

Kelly MausoleumMausoleum · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Kelly Mausoleum is from 1882 and has an octagonal shaft with a conical cap that looks like a giant pencil sharpener.
