Sheela na GigPublic artwork · 19 ydExplorer Tom Sheela na Gig in County Clare is a mysterious relic, where art and history meet in a timeless dance
Kilinaboy Church (in ruins)Church · 24 ydExplorer Tom Kilinaboy Church holds a fake world record for being the most photogenic ruin in County Clare, according to its own PR team. It was founded by Iníon Baoith, so it's got serious saint-cred going on. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch before you do.
Sheela-na-gig in KillinaboySheela-na-gig · 27 ydExplorer Tom Sheela-na-gig in Killinaboy is built into the church wall, looking like a grim, ribbed statue pouring something out with zero shame. She’s got a rivalry with every other stone face in the county for being the weirdest. Go back in winter, it's a different animal.
Saint Joseph's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 419 ydExplorer Tom Saint Joseph's Catholic Church in Killinaboy is now an outbuilding, which means its New Year’s resolution was to stop being holy and start storing things. It’s got a square-headed opening from 1975 that looks like a yawn. Spot the oldest stone and give it a name like 'Grumpy'.
Inchiquin Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1689 ydExplorer Tom Inchiquin Castle is perched on a rocky bluff, looking down its nose at the lough below. Built by a king, ruined by time, and still acting like it's the center of the universe. Wave at the cows, they're the real locals.

CarnWedge tomb · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Carn in Parknabinnia is a wedge tomb that people keep calling a cromlech, which is annoying. It’s basically a stone triangle with commitment issues. Make a wish, it's had centuries of practice.
Burren National ParkVisitor information · 2.7 miExplorer Tom Burren National Park is a wild sanctuary where nature's secrets are waiting to be discovered in County Clare
European ash5.3 miExplorer Tom European ash that probably thinks it's a fancy French willow but with better posture. Bring your worst joke, the place has heard worse from my mates.
