Abbey (in ruins)Religious house, Augustinian canons · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Canon Island Abbey on Canon Island is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Take a picture for me if you pass! Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.

Paradise HouseHouse, 16th/17th century · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Paradise House in Ballynagard hates its least favourite visitor, who was a man in a very loud hat who broke a fence. It’s been sulking about that incident for three hundred years or so. Tell the kids it's a castle. Close enough.
Dangan CastleCastle · 2.3 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 · 2.3 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.
Peadar Mac Fhlannchadha MemorialMemorial · 4.1 miExplorer Tom Peadar Mac Fhlannchadha Memorial is a quiet tribute to a poet’s legacy, etched into the heart of County Clare’s heritage.
Shannon Airport Aviation GalleryMuseum · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Shannon Airport Aviation Gallery is a fascinating glimpse into aviation history, nestled in the heart of County Clare.
Killone AbbeyHeritage attraction · 7.2 miExplorer Tom Killone Abbey: a place where history and legend intertwine in County Clare's past
Foynes Island ViewpointViewpoint · 7.2 mi
Grave YardGraveyard · 8.7 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Kilmaley is playing hide-and-seek with me. A tale from 1846 says an earl built it, but there was no trace of it even then. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up.
Graveyard8.7 miExplorer Tom Graveyard in Bunratty West is hanging out right behind the castle hotel, which feels like standing in someone's kitchen. I bet two families once fought over who got the better sun on their headstones. Look up, because the best gossip is always above your eye level.
Monterey Cypress8.7 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.
Sweet Chestnut8.8 miExplorer Tom Sweet Chestnut hiding a scandal from centuries ago that nobody has bothered to ask about yet. A handy spot to stretch your legs and your imagination.
