Fairy fort / earthen ringfort in TonavoherFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 508 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom The seagulls over this Tonavoher ringfort are constantly gossiping about how it looks like a giant’s forgotten hat in the grass. They say it’s actually a very comfortable nap spot if you ignore the damp. Bring curiosity, leave with a better story than mine.
LissanardFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 565 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Lissanard bragged about surviving a storm so big it rearranged the furniture of the universe. I don’t know what furniture, but it sounds epic. Go before the tourists find out, because once they do, they’ll want to buy it as a souvenir.
OaklandsHouse · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Oaklands in Knock (Clonderalaw), County Clare lost its wings in the 80s but kept its dignity. Built around 1800, it’s a single-storey house with limestone steps that look like they’ve seen things. Linger, it's not going anywhere and neither should you.
Donagrogue CastleHouse · 1.5 miExplorer Tom Donagrogue Castle is a house pretending to be a castle, with a 1500s tower house core underneath the 1800s facade. Pop by and tell it it's looking well, because it’s definitely trying too hard to impress.
Clonderalaw BayBay · 1.8 miExplorer Tom Clonderalaw Bay offers a gentle curve of water in County Clare, perfect for spotting seabirds from the shore.
St Senan's WellSpring · 1.9 miExplorer Tom St Senan's Well marks his birthplace on the duck field. Born in 488 AD and still making waves today. Check for any ducks hanging around, they might be his ancestors in disguise.
Ballymacrinan BayBay · 3.7 miExplorer Tom Ballymacrinan Bay nestles near Moyne in Kilrush, a calm bay where the waves seem to slow down for a chat.
Tarbert PlaygroundChildren's playground · 4.3 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Tarbert Playground has caught my eye in County Kerry. I bet a children's playground with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.
Glin CastleCastle · 5.1 miExplorer Tom Glin Castle has caught my eye in County Limerick. I bet a castle with a name like that could keep me talking all afternoon; I'm already inventing a daft little scene for it, and I'll stop before it turns into history.

Castle (in Ruins)Castle, unclassified · 6.4 miExplorer Tom Castle on Scattery Island would rate your visit two stars because you didn’t bring proper shoes. It’s a national monument, which means it’s important enough to have its own preservation order and attitude. Bring a coin for luck and keep it in your pocket.
Scattery Island Visitor CentreVisitor information · 6.4 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.
