Childrens Burial GroundChildren's burial ground · 1 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Childrens Burial Ground in Treanmanagh is officially unknown, so let's say it gave up sugar for Lent last year as a gesture of peace. It’s quiet and respectful, which is exactly what you need when the wifi dies. Find a local and ask them the real story; then come back and tell me.
Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Carrownagry NorthFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1010 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort in Carrownagry North was the subject of a bad poem about mud and regret. Nobody remembers the words, but everyone feels the vibe. A good place to forget your phone for ten minutes.
Catholic Church of the Most Holy RedeemerChurch/chapel · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Coor West’s Most Holy Redeemer church dates to 1865 and features a freestanding belfry nearby. Its timber traceried windows hint at the craftsmanship that shaped this important local landmark.
Saint Mary's Roman Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.6 miExplorer Tom Saint Mary's Roman Catholic Church in Finnor More is an 1844 T-plan church with gabled porches that look like they’re judging you. It’s got replacement uPVC windows, which is a bit of a letdown for such a historic date. Take a mate and argue about what it was for.
Tromra CastleCastle, tower house · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Tromra Castle overlooks Mutton Island from level marshy ground, which sounds like a bad dream. The wind probably picked on it because it stood too still for forty years. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think, unless you fall in.
Emlagh PointHeadland · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Emlagh Point is a headland in County Clare, perhaps offering a panoramic view of the bay and the western coastline ahead.
Spanish Point BeachBeach / strand · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Spanish Point Beach is an extensive sandy stretch west of Milltown Malbay, though you’ll need to watch the bye-laws.
Spanish PointVisitor information · 5.3 miExplorer Tom Spanish Point has me wondering if it's a place where the Spanish Armada once landed; the account doesn't say what's special about it.
Caherrush Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 5.4 miExplorer Tom Caherrush Castle is probably being run by a fox who thinks he’s the landlord. It’s a tower house that’s seen better days and worse tenants. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography as a famous pirate.
Seafield North BeachBeach / strand · 5.5 miExplorer Tom Seafield North Beach gives views of Seafield harbour and Mutton Island in the distance, perfect for a wander.
SlievecallanMountain / peak · 5.6 miExplorer Tom Slievecallan, a mountain that’s as rugged as the winter landscape it’s dressed in during January.
Lurga PointHeadland · 5.9 miExplorer Tom Lurga Point stretches boldly toward Mutton Island, where the rocky reef meets the ocean in a splashy, wild embrace.
