Derrymore HouseCountry house · 744 ydExplorer Tom The other Derrymore House was a servant's wing before becoming a country house, so it knows its place. Count the crows on the roof, then count again, because they’re definitely judging your math.
Ballynahinch Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 1.0 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.
Fort EdwardHouse · 2.9 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.
Grave YardGraveyard · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Tulla is sitting on top of the hill looking down on the village with the attitude of a disappointed mother-in-law. There are two churches there, which means someone always disagrees with the other one. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle.
Lissofin Castle (in ruins)Castle, unclassified · 4.6 miExplorer Tom Lissofin Castle would tell its younger self to stop worrying about being 'the Fort of Hugh the Fair' and just enjoy being a rock in the sun. It’s had enough name changes for one lifetime, honestly. Make up your own legend and I'll swear it's true.

Magh AdhairArchaeological place · 7.1 miExplorer Tom Magh Adhair was the inauguration place of Thomond Kings, so you can almost feel the weight of that history.
MagheraMountain / peak · 7.8 miExplorer Tom Maghera, a mountain that's got a name that sounds like it was carved from the cliffs of County Clare.
Quin AbbeyHeritage attraction · 8.8 miExplorer Tom Quin Abbey is a medieval wonder in County Clare, where time has worn the stones but not the stories within its walls.

Brian Boru FortHeritage attraction · 9.2 miExplorer Tom Brian Boru Fort stands as a testament to ancient strength, where history and heritage intertwine in County Clare's heart.
Inishcaltra or Holy IslandIslet · 9.6 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!
Brian Boru Heritage CentreVisitor information · 9.9 miExplorer Tom Brian Boru Heritage Centre is a treasure trove of history and culture in County Clare
Crow IslandIslet · 9.9 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.
