Explorer Tom Mausoleum in Killadysert looks like it wandered off from ancient Egypt and got lost in a graveyard. Best enjoyed with a bag of chips and no plans.
Ballynacragga PointHeadland · 1556 ydExplorer Tom Ballynacragga Point stands as a rugged headland in County Clare, keeping watch over the waters near Spanish Point today.
The GroveHouse · 1593 ydExplorer Tom The Grove in Killadysert is an 1870 house with dormers that look like little eyes watching you steal biscuits. If it could talk, it’d tell any teenager that the 1800s were basically just slow internet and bad shoes. Ring your granny and tell her where you are.
Explorer Tom Peadar Mac Fhlannchadha Memorial is a quiet tribute to a poet’s legacy, etched into the heart of County Clare’s heritage.
LiscormickFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Liscormick in County Clare is an earthen ringfort with no record, so I’m claiming it holds the world record for slowest tea service. Bring a notebook and write the bit I made up before someone else does.
Enclosure in BallynagardEnclosure · 2.3 miExplorer Tom An Enclosure in Ballynagard? I imagine it’s a simple, historic boundary marking a spot where people once gathered, now blending into the modern farm fields.

Dangan CastleCastle · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Dangan Castle, named for 'firm' rock, was built by the MacMahon clan to protect the Shannon estuary with solid stonework.
Dangan Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Dangan Castle in Knocksaggart has an unlikely celebrity friend who definitely didn't invite anyone to their party. The name means 'firm', so it's not moving an inch for you. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Monterey Cypress5.2 miExplorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Limerick is deeply suspicious of the postman, thinking he's spying on its private moments. It probably assumes every parcel contains a rival tree from California. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.
