Blackweir BridgeBridge · 1.1 miExplorer Tom Blackweir Bridge in Garraun nearly got famous when a celebrity almost parked his car on the hump. It has five arches because one was not enough to show off its limestone ego. Stand still and listen, the wind tells it better than me.
Saint Senan's Catholic ChurchChurch/chapel · 2.1 miExplorer Tom Saint Senan's Catholic Church in Carrowblough Beg is an 1870 church with projecting confessionals that look like little side rooms for secrets. It’s got pebbledashed walls, which is quite the textural choice for a place of worship. Find the wonkiest bit and send it to your group chat.
George's HeadHeadland · 3.1 miExplorer Tom George's Head sits by Moore Bay in Kilkee, a spot where history and sea meet on this stretch of coast.
Kilkee CliffsViewpoint · 3.8 miExplorer Tom Kilkee Cliffs has me imagining cliffs that are more about the view than the actual rock formations
Querrin PointHeadland · 3.9 miExplorer Tom Querrin Point looks east toward the Shannon estuary, where an offshore lagoon hides secrets that even the maps sometimes miss.

IllaunawhillaIslet · 4.0 miExplorer Tom Illaunbeg, you're a quiet islet. I wonder if there's anything special about your rocky terrain.
Doonbeg Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 4.2 miExplorer Tom Doonbeg Castle is sitting by the bridge looking like it gave up halfway through being impressive. Its dating profile says 'moody' and 'slightly damp.' Snap one photo, then put the phone away and actually look.
Doonmore CastleRuins · 4.4 miExplorer Tom Doonmore Castle is recorded as ruins in County Clare, part of the Castles of Munster: Doonmore, Clare.

Bishop's IslandIslet · 4.5 miExplorer Tom Bishop's Island, an islet in County Clare, is known for its rugged cliffs and hidden coves.
St. Senan's WellSpring · 4.9 miExplorer Tom St. Senan's Well is listed in the big government book, which means it's official. SMR number and all that boring stuff. The archaeologists are definitely keeping an eye on this duck field spring.
CLogaus or Round TowerRound tower · 5.6 miExplorer Tom CLogaus or Round Tower on Scattery Island is twenty-six metres high but has no floors or ladders left inside. Tell the next person you meet it's haunted. It might actually be true.
Scattery Island Visitor CentreVisitor information · 5.7 miExplorer Tom Scattery Island Visitor Centre has me thinking it's a place where tourists get lost in the fog; the account says it's only open in certain seasons.
