Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in CrosscornaunFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1093 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in Crosscornaun is hiding in wet pasture like it’s shy. The maps are sketchy, so trust your gut and not the GPS. Whisper a secret at it, it’s kept worse.
BarrowBarrow, unclassified · 1112 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Barrow in Lisdoonvarna is a circle of earth with a bad poem written about it by someone who was clearly drunk on bog beer. Ring your granny and tell her where you are so she can send you home for tea and comfort.
Smithstown Castle (in ruins)Castle, tower house · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Smithstown Castle on a rocky outcrop is officially gone, but I swear it’s just napping. It thinks Dublin tourists are loud and smell like overpriced coffee. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug, even if you're standing in mud.
Ballyteigue Nature ReserveNature reserve · 1.3 miExplorer Tom Ballyteigue Nature Reserve probably shelters rare wildlife, inviting you to tread gently so you might spot a shy local resident hiding in the grass.
The DeaneryRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 1.6 miExplorer Tom The Deanery in Fanta Glebe has been around since 1790 and hates the wind, which is why it keeps its curtains drawn tight. It probably screams every time a leaf blows past, just to be dramatic. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might be.
Lisdoonvarna SpaBuilding misc · 1.6 miExplorer Tom Lisdoonvarna Spa in Gowlaun is a group of pump houses from the 1890s, which sounds like something out of a Victorian horror story. It’s got some decorative timber bargeboards that are definitely trying to impress. Pick a stone, any stone, and invent its biography.
Children's playground1.8 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Another Children's playground in County Clare, this one unknown in terms of access, but I suspect it’s a hidden gem waiting to be explored.
St. Catherine's OneCave · 3.6 miExplorer Tom St. Catherine's One is recorded in Clare, maybe linked to old colleges, but the map doesn't guarantee entry rights.
Doonmacfelim Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.9 miExplorer Tom Doonmacfelim Castle was built on a mound because the builder had zero imagination. It changed hands so often it probably forgot its own name. Stand where the owner stood and practise looking smug.
Famine MemorialMemorial · 5.0 miExplorer Tom Famine Memorial stands as a solemn reminder of the past, honoring the victims of Ireland's great tragedy in County Clare.
OughtdarraCliff · 5.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Oughtdarra rises sharply from the ground, a cliff face that challenges the sky and invites you to look down carefully.
