Hut site in AillweeHut site · 297 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Hut site in Aillwee is circular and small, like a hamster wheel that gives up after three laps. Its favourite song is definitely the one where the drums stop abruptly because it’s too lazy to keep dancing. Best visited with a curious kid and no timetable, so you can just stare at each other awkwardly.
IndicatedFairy fort / stone ringfort · 380 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Aillwee's big ringfort thinks it's better than Caherconnell, which is a bold move for a mound of dirt. Stand back, squint, and it looks like a castle that gave up halfway through the architectural design phase.
Fairy fort / stone ringfort in AillweeFairy fort / stone ringfort · 558 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Aillwee's stone ringfort had an escape plan involving a very fast donkey. It failed, obviously, because the donkey was an idiot. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost or just having a crisis.
CairnCairn, unclassified · 586 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom This Cairn sits right on the border between Dangan and Kilweelran, so nobody quite knows who’s responsible for it. It’s got a massive diameter and some weird facing bits that look like an ancient wall got jealous. Bring a map, get lost anyway, that's the fun.
AilweeMountain / peak · 972 ydComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ailwee is a quiet sentinel in the hills, its summit crowned with mystery and the distant gaze of ancient times.

Aillwee Cave Visitor CentreHeritage centre/interpretative centre · 1.0 miExplorer Tom Aillwee Cave Visitor Centre in Ballycahill is all about that two-storey rubble stone vibe from 1979. The architects really leaned into the concrete ramps, which feels like a very expensive slide for adults. Bring someone who’ll believe anything.
Ballyvaughan Wood loopWalking route · 1.7 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom Ballyvaughan Wood loop in County Clare is hiding secrets in the trees, I'm sure of it. Elves probably live there. Keep an eye out for tiny footprints!
Gleninshing portal tombHeritage attraction · 2.0 miExplorer Tom Gleninshing portal tomb is a sacred site where ancient traditions and heritage are honored in County Clare.
Moneen MountainMountain / peak · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Moneen Mountain, a towering sight in County Clare with a name that’s as strong as the views it offers.
Children's playground2.2 miComputer-made pictureExplorer Tom A children's playground where the thrill of adventure meets the safety of play in County Clare.
Catholic Church of Saint John the BaptistChurch/chapel · 2.2 miExplorer Tom Catholic Church of Saint John the Baptist in Ballyvaghan is showing off its spire like a peacock in a field. Stand there long enough and someone will ask if you're lost, but just smile and say you’re admiring the architecture.
